Coil building a large pot - the entire process

Saying goodbye to a long winter, but keeping the memories of the plants in the clay pot surface. The pot is pressed with branches from the forest harvested in the late winter.

I’ve been building pottery by hand for about a month. I started during a residential treatment for my PTSD. What a wonderful way to work with our hands and build something beautiful. Thank you. My chosen methods at this time are SW American Indian pottery like the Hopi. So I too am using underglaze and now am learning how to make organic and mineral paints. Nest I plan to build fires on the ground to fire wild clay. There is probably 20-30 years of learning ahead and I am planning to teach my grandchildren. I look forward to more of your videos. You are a skilled artisan. Thank you for sharing.

@@A.L.75 yep, I belong to Andy’s Ancient Pottery group. We meet via Zoom every Wednesday and he builds something on the list. I asked if he would build a seed pot next year and he put it in his list. Great guy!!!

Artistic people are national treasures. Your mind must be a really fun place to be.

[@trapezoidspangle934]

This is really good but even better at 2x speed. Love the ‘walking out in to white crunchy snow with dog’ bit too. 🐕 ❄️

[@TheSashal1999]

I’m an archaeologist and was just curious how cool building method works, your video is so hypnotizing and relaxing. Really amazing work

[@mikeu5380]

You might want to look into the techniques of the Jomon potters (Japan, 14,000 to 300 BC), as well as the native people of the American Southwest. Andy Ward has a good channel about that. Then, of course, the Igbo people, etc. Cheers from Japan.

[@pierluigicicinelli3361]

Bravissima compimenti !

[@cate1657]

An absolutely stunning piece! The careful work that went into this incredible pot from its conception to its being completed shows in its final result. All of the video was as artful as the making of the pot, too. I sensed a real tapping into the love of art spirit here. Brava!

[@anikokovacs5858]

You deserve to be so proud of this work. I haven’t yet seen any other videos but I subscribed just on this one. So inspired to have a go with air clay now as that’s my limit for resources but I can’t wait to watch more when I’m off work ❤ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@sabrinassuburbangarden9448]

Cool piece

[@dog5079]

so nice!

[@virginiebourret3823]

What kind of black do you use for the glaze? Thank you

[@suzanneadams8729]

Excellent.

[@philbader9040]

Beautiful

[@fberb]

Well done, so much labor but the end product is beautiful. Two questions, one how long did you wait until the bisque fire; secondly, you used something besides the water and oxide, looks like a soapy liquid, I wonder what was it? Thank you. Keep up the great work.

[@orkidem4792]

It was really inspiring for me, i hope to build it some day

[@lolademilo7474]

such a beautiful pot! And then the stroke and coat?

[@credenza1]

A moment captured in time.

[@knotbox]

Gosh this is lovely

[@tracynickels164]

So cooool!!!!!

[@annamariainnocenti785]

Bello,perfetto, brava!!!

[@fb9001]

Love this video, Thank you I have to see it all over again and again, because I cannot read so fast and look at the same time what you are doing. Leaving the text a little bit longer in the screen would help.

[@clementramon8589]

You are amazing! Loved you work. Make it look so easy. How long have you been doing such beautiful pottery? Thank You for sharing. Definitely want to see more.

[@marisamoralesbaeza9299]

Preciosisimo ,aunque requiere mucho trabajo felicidades

[@spitrock33]

Nice work,,what clay do you use?

[@user-hj2hy4dd2t]

Did you end up glazing the inside of the pot? Or is that unusual?

[@blackdogceramics]

Thanks for asking, it's not shown but the inside is fully glazed. My camera battery died during the glazing shot, and there was no way to reglaze at the time. I'm definitely learning a lot!

[@anikokovacs5858]

Nagyon tetszik !

[@jtcpottery]

I noticed that this was constructed over several days. Did you keep it under plastic and spritz it with water?

[@annalatona7992]

Such a beautiful work. I love it❤️ What glaze do you use to paint the leaves? Thank you!

[@SimonCork-d4e]

Great video, you just get on with it without talking incessantly all the way through (like most KZbinrs think you have to do). More please!

[@knd.blck23]

Amazing work, what's is chemical used on the last video?

[@debifrancis2962]

Curious how many pounds of clay did you use here

[@sonaliganguly546]

wow...nice

[@TaminStarmin]

Woow inspiring

[@georgesoul4709]

Hi there, is there ever an issue with letting the bottom firm up and then adding softer new coils? For instance, do you need to keep the bottom loosely wrapped so that the drying time evens out, or is coil building pretty forgiving in that sense?

[@sheree-berry]

awesome! Thank you for this video. Would you mind sharing where you got the paddle?🙏

[@alexiaromine9163]

what kind of clay do you use?

[@وصفات_ناني_التجميليه]

Good job, is it made of pottery?

[@pamelab9880]

Impressive!

[@masterhandwerks6592]

Damn. That's dope.

[@alphonsechanekayebone7871]

Wonderfull..

[@ThePierre1046]

Wow, that’s beautiful. I really want to work with ceramic but I am not sure how or where I start from. Can someone help me with info ?

[@mercinuela]

Beautiful piece. How do you ensure the inner walls are properly blended when coiling up smaller and smaller towards the neck?

[@blackdogceramics]

At that stage I blend with every fresh coil (instead of building up several coils and blending them all at the same time). If the opening is big enough for a few fingers or a long tool then blending is still possible, I hope that helps!

[@paticiamoreno]

Lindo trabalho❤

[@mariadelvallecajal7612]

Beautful

[@cassie_richardson]

How many pounds of clay did this take!

[@Motivate_Mania]

What is the name of that liquid you used in last?
