    Great video! I love your Pitfire enthusiasm, your daring experiments and the way you share everything: succes, ‘failure’, technical information and your opinions. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much!

    Wow, you covered so much and answered so many questions I had and some I didn't know I needed to think about. You are such a good and thorough teacher. Pit firing seemed daunting to me and I have learned the most from you because you go into so much detail. I so appreciate you having terms and products in writing also as some of them I was not familiar with. Your pots are always so beautiful, and your pitfiring colors and patterns are amazing. I don't know if I could ever sell or give away any of those. Thank you so luch for this video and sharing your talents. I have to see if I can actually do pit firing where I live. I think its a possibility.

    for waterproofing you can use diluted liquid acrylic

      Thanks :-)
      For my large vase I have found that the local concrete sealant I use are perfect and very cheap.
      But for pots for food neither that or acrylic is good. For that the liquid quartz is fantastic

    That's a great video! Where do you get your oil drums from? I am from Austria and I coudn't find drums that large here that don't cost a fortune. Thank you!

      @deMibPottery  7 місяців тому

      Thanks. I buy them used. Many industrial materials comes in in barrels like this and often the companies that use it just need to get rid of them after. So I picked up mine very cheap (typically $10-15)

    Our Native Americans still use pit firing. It is so beautiful.

    Maybe the definition of Pitfire is that it’s a single load/burn, rather than feeding it??
