New pottery, getting better every time
hedgeapple:
Hey Twisted, you should do a demonstration at the Classic. I'd love to see the process.
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
thanks guys. Hedge- I have yet to attend a Classic. I spent a lot of time on the road in the last few years and just cant stand to be in the car for more than about 3 hours here lately! It takes about 2 weeks for the pots to air dry before firing. by force drying or leaving it in the sun, you run very high failure rate. Just wouldn't be enough time to demonstrate... well I guess a guy could make pot and set it aside to dry and then fire a couple already previously air dried.. but either way, I hope to make it to the classic on day, but it's hard to get me to take a trip unless it involves hunting
hedgeapple:
I understand Twisted. I hope you make to the Classic one day.
Do you dig your own clay?
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
yup, I dig my own.
hedgeapple:
There is a lot of clay in the soil on my farm and some places seems pretty thick. So, I've been wondering if this clay could make pottery item. When you did clay is there a way to clean it to remove soil to leave mostly clay? What's the whole digging process?
