native pottery
Eric Krewson:
The shell particles are small, 1/16th" a smaller, the shell is Tennessee River mussel shell. The ladle was washed out of the banks of the Tennessee River between Stevenson and Bridgeport Al. I found it in the seventies before picking up such stuff was illegal. As you can see, it was made in the form of a breast which I found a bit unusual.

The clay was perfect today. So made a simple pot. Later this week I am going to fire this in a pit.
sadiejane:

iowabow:
I have read a lot about different firing but would really like to hear about how others have fired their work.

Thanks the marks on the pot have meanings . There are 12 full moons above fields of grass and a creek that runs below. I kept it simple for the first try.
