Possibly the best comment I have heard on a pottery video-"it took me around one hour of build time but 45 years how to figure it out". Excellent. Thank you Tony.
Really interesting, as an engineer i realise that impact stresses are quite different from slowly applied stresses because of the inertia of the clay, so that the way that the clay flows is much less likely to crack or form voids, but to see it worked out in such exquisite skillful detail is a bit of a revealation.
Dang, I couldn't look away. Wish I could have met this guy when I was still living in California, out in the Mohave desert. Something incredible about watching someone with a lot of years in their craft.
I appreciate that. There are, as far as I know, only two ancient pottery related UA-cam channels, it just makes sense that we should collaborate. Tony and I have been friends since long before either of us was on UA-cam.
I loved watching his movie "the people of the Clay"... His pots' walls are so thin. I love his work and watching his process. Thanks so much for doing this interview. I got a chuckle when he said, "now that covid's over"...
Thos was lovely. It's always fascinating to hear how artists found pottery, what grabbed them, why they chose their technique. Paddle and anvil is fun! It was an important part of my college classes and really cool the way seasoned potters in the technique used their ears to listen to the tone of the paddling to know what they needed to. It's really appealing with pottery thats made from locally found and mixed clay, hand made with ancient low tech techiques and then decorated and fired with hand made methods, rrally connecting the pieces to the land. I find his work very beautiful and spiritual in form, like they carry secrets of the earth over millenia.
I've been experimenting with primitive pottery for a year or so now. I never heard of this technique until today, but this is very close to how I've been doing it without knowing why.
Andy, this interview and your interviews with John Olsen and Clint Swink were fantastic, both for your excellent video craftmanship and the amount of information both on techniques and the potters' personal histories as well. Please keep interspersing the "how to's" with such interviews--nothing but good stuff on your channel!!
I'm glad you are enjoying this content. I am working hard, not just to make good and interesting content but also to mix it up a little bit so it never gets repetitive or stale. You will be featured in next week's video!
Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful to see Tony manipulate the clay as a master potter. He makes it look easy. The paddle and anvil using coils is what I have learned in the east.
Awesome work! The paddle and anvil pottery is integral to Missourian and Mississippian mound culture complexes pottery, which are also similar to Tony's work. It'd be awesome to see this person's work in book form, and if they can, they should be brought to several northern tribes to help reawaken the potters' identity, as these technologies are needed to preserve Tribal ancient technologies and cultures. And also thank you so much Andy for providing us a look into different styles of pottery.
I ordered a gourd rib from you and got it just a few days ago.Thanks for the fast delivery! WOW what a difference it makes to have one made out of a natural material. I love the gourd rib!! Thanks
What a fantastic video! I’ve always heard of the paddle and anvil technique but I’d never seen it done until now. Mr. Soares is a fine artist and a great teacher. Thank you for introducing him and his work to us.
We're potters. just watched his much earlier demonstration video last night. So cool to then see this one. today.. Good job making the video! No hype. Just a total master potter doing his thing , videoed by a potter... whose work i'd like to see. Thank you Tony's grandmother, Tony, Andy, Sweet Mother of Clay, and all who sail with you. Thank you for a true teaching
I know it’s a year later but mannn I so enjoyed this. Tony is supremely talented. I don’t make any pottery but I found your channel and I’ve been intrigued more & more with each video. Thank you sharing your amazing journey with us. I am soothed watching you and your beautiful art pieces come to life. My background is in stained glass, lamp work beads, mosaics and other glass arts. I do have a smallish kiln so making the jump may be a bit easier.. without having a place to make fires that is. I used to watch a Ruku (spelling?) technique where they used a large old fashioned metal trash can to fire the pieces. It seemed like it was always an unknown how the pieces would react in color or texture. I have to review that bc I sorta remember them placing objects onto the works before firing to get the shapes imprinted.. like leaves or other organic materials. Anyways I’m rambling 😂😂. Thanks for sharing.. if I decide to go for it I’ll definitely sign up for your service 👌💯👏👏👏
Fabulous… very Interesting….I’ve never seen this done before… I’m sure it’s not as easy as he makes it look … fascinating & WOW! I could watch him do this forever. Thank You for bringing this to us.
2 things…First…this guy looks so much like my dad, I did a double take! Second, I am going to have to try this. I have neuropathy in my hands and pinching has become hard to properly do with weakness and coordination. I suspect this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!! 🥰
I can't wait until I have a home and can build an outdoor kiln so I can start working with clay. I got to work with it a lot in highschool ap art class. I live in Arizona and am planning on hitting up construction sites with lots of buckets this winter. I'm so excited I have this channel for a treasure trove of information and inspiration!
Woah! Now that was awesome and legitimately down to Earth. Have never worked clay myself, but have always been interested. I may go to find some clay at the store and some sand on my next day off.
People who do not collect and process their own clays are missing out on the whole process, i make terrsigilatta wares from local clays. back in the 1920's my area made terracotta tiles that roofed many a damaged house in france and belguim.
@@AncientPottery yes exactly. I feel the same about the pottery you make as well. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and dabbled with here and there, but definitely requires a time investment to cultivate skills and gain the required knowledge. I have buckets of clay saved from an excavation on my property last year. When I get a chance I plan to work on developing my own skills and knowledge base a bit. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and abilities.
I love it, the connection to work. These would be made to use, and today, sell to customers. What is the utility of these pots to people today, besides decor? Thx!
Thanks Andy. Does Tony sell his raw clay? I did some archaeological illustration of Anza Berrego pottery and fell in love with southwestern styles. Hard to get good clay here in Va. Thanks!
A store in Albuquerque New Mexico sells a clay called mica clay or micaceous clay and they ship! The store is called New Mexico clay. It fires very nice at low temp you could maybe even fire it in a charcoal grill.
Hi from Japan. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your skills and ideas with us. I am new to your site, and find your videos so very interesting. I wonder, as your channel title suggests, if you have looked into ancient pottery methods around the world--more specifically, the clay tradition of ancient Japan (Jomon, Yayoi, Ainu, etc.).
My focus and that of this channel is ancient pottery of the American Southwest. Although I would love to explore some other ancient potteries around the world, it is difficult to dive too deeply into those subjects because I live here in America and I'm not making enough money on UA-cam to buy a ticket to another country. Perhaps some potter with a UA-cam channel in another part of the world would like to do a collaboration with me.
@@AncientPottery Thank you for your reply. I am "doing pottery" here in northern Japan, where there are several digs that have unveiled the ancient settlements of the Jomon and Yayoi people. The styles are quite unique, and it seems the Yayoi's were the first to employ the "wheel," probably a flat rock that rotated upon another.
@@AncientPottery I wonder if that applies to dry climates only. I live in the Northeastern US, the seeds may not survive here - mold might be the killer
There ARE so many amazing Master NATIVE AMERICAN potters right here in AZ. Would love for you to feature them. Ron Carlos is right on the Pima Rez and he is amazing!
I am friends with many of them including Ron Carlos. Ron had an amazing video made about him a few years ago by the Heard Museum. My channel is focused, not just on the native artistry but the re-creation of the ancient pottery types. Unfortunately most native artists are making contemporary Native American pottery, which is fine and respectable but not really what I am about here. Bobby Silas is the guy I want to feature in a video but so far he has not given me permission. Can you recommend a Native American potter who is making pottery styles of centuries ago, besides Ron and Bobby?
I assume you are addressing this comment to Tony. Check out his UA-cam channel where you will find videos showing how he fires and decorates pottery ua-cam.com/channels/8mUzv23RRA_wxwwmbQKzhQ.html
This was very interesting, thank you. Is there a reason that he couldn’t make 2 pots on the mould and then join them? There’s obviously a benefit to doing it his he does and I’d love to know. Thanks again.
I suppose you could form two of those and put them together although I don't think that was the way they were traditionally made. It is my understanding that paddling the clay compresses and aligns the clay particles resulting in stronger pottery than coiling alone. He certainly can work fast with his technique, he built that large jar in about an hour, it would have taken me several hours to build a similar size pot.
Excellent tutorial. I'm convinced that this is the method that I would like to try in making my first clay pot. Where can I purchase the book, "Papago Indian Pottery"? Is it available in PDF format?
@@AncientPottery I have just recently noticed that the book is available at Israel's National Library in Jerusalem. I'll try to access the book when I'm in Jerusalem.
@@AncientPottery I could watch skilled craftspeople work for hours (and have done), there's just something about watching something being created that fascinates me
Beautiful! Have been looking for this paddle and anvil technique. Having a hard time finding the right tools from ceramic suppliers to do it. Do you know where I can buy the anvil tools?
Hi, Loving this episode. Love every episode. Is there a link to the book about Papago Indian pottery? So keen to get a copy if I can. Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge. Hoping to get over there one day. The clay I'm digging up here on the Sunshine Coast Australia seems really similar. So iron rich here though, clay here is still refractory at 1300*C. Interesting how it would go in a charcoal fire.

In the east meaning the east coast of the United States? Did the natives there practice this method?
Thank you Andy and Tony for sharing your mastery of this ancient art.

Hey Andy, what you're doing is very appreciated!. Greetings from Valencia, Spain
That looks so simple and easy. I’d love to do a class. I suspect it wouldn’t be quite so easy if I tried it!

Yes only paddle as this as your clay will allow.
its really cool to see this man just reverse engineered all these techniques by being curious and observand about the world around him
Yes we can all learn from that example.
Wow!
@@AncientPottery I could watch skilled craftspeople work for hours (and have done), there's just something about watching something being created that fascinates me
It's pretty similar how Masters make kimchi jars in korea. But I have seen a video japanes making something similar making a big jar maybe for kurozu.
