121. How to Make Pottery for Pitfire

[@Richard-ky9lf]

Thank you. I watched your pit fire video and learned a lot. I now look forward to watching your videos and learning more about your work. It’s amazing that I am in Murphy, North Carolina and I feel like I am taking a workshop in Denmark.

Beautiful forms! Please may I ask what is the yellow ochre clay that you used for the last one?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-) It is a high iron stoneware from G&S in Germany - 551

I have never pit fired pottery but your demonstrations seem complete. There is too much of a wildfire hazard here right now for me to actually pitfire but maybe I can spend the time till the rains come in October making pots.

Thanks. And yes, you do off course have to pay attention to fire risks

Another wonderful video Mikkel! The "lost all my pottery skills" was so nice to hear - I think we've all felt that! Really good video and looking forward to watching this series! I've identified a super white clay but it's only 7% grog... is that too low in your opinion for pitfire?

Thanks a lot 🙏❤️ Its hard to say for sure. Try it with something simple

I can totally identify with sometimes feeling like a bad potter!! If I am tired or especially if I feel rushed.. doesn’t work 🙃

No, it takes a lot of koncentration :-)
