MAKING POTTERY FROM WILD CLAY | From harvest to pit firing 🏺

[@WristwatchMedic1953]

The ancient native Americans around my area in Appalachia used ground up river mussels shells for tempering pots. I have found many pieces of them . Probably 500 to 1000 years old. You can see the shell bits in them. Great video. Thank you

[@keelymeagan337]

While earth plastering strawbale and adobe homes with clay right out of the earth, I learned from native women to let water do all the work of breaking down the clay. We would build pits with 4 straw bales, throw in a tarp, add raw clay (and sometimes sand and chopped straw), add water, and let it soak overnight so it was all broken down and mixed easily (with our feet) the next morning. Wonderful wonderful work.

[@bethcorwin9394]

Linnea, I believe the black clay is known as Kentucky Ball clay. When I was in graduate school in Fort Collin I experimented with it straight (as is)from the bag, it was the most plastic clay I had ever felt and I loved it! It is usually mixed with other clays but I wanted it just as it was . My professor said that it would crack upon cooling but it never did. I threw the most beautiful bowls of my life with that clay-and you have it in your back yard! Enjoy! Beth

[@janellroehr4142]

Did I miss the black clay pots after the firing ?

[@debraanneclark2188]

What a satisfying feeling it must be to gather all the materials and process the clay then throw pieces before firing them in a fire pit. Loved the designs they had a very ancient Roman or Greek style.

[@Linneaandakela]

It was incredibly satisfying :) Thank you for joining me!

[@marionchase-kleeves8311]

We have pink ,tan and Tera Cota in our creek on farm. There is clay all around Maryland from off white to deep purple. Lots of brick homes over 200 years old! Trying to make tiles

Aw how special you used to do the same. I hope you can enjoy it through me! :)

@@Linneaandakela well, as someone in a similar position, I enjoyed it through you. Thank you for sharing your journey. :)

[@sash.kaloshin]

It's been over 10 years since I last worked on a pottery wheel in university and was obsessed with clay and crafting. This month, I finally took the plunge and gathered blue clay from a secret spot, which is now drying in my backyard. I’m also looking for the right sand, visiting various beaches. I could go on and on about how I’ve spent the last 10 years thinking about trying pit firing, just like our ancestors did. I've watched tons of different material on the topic, and now that I’m so close to actually doing it, I found your video. Tears came to my eyes as I watched the firing process with others, waiting for the result, and realizing how much work and heart went into it! I think if we were asked what we would do if we were financially independent, we would spend our days with clay from dusk till dawn! Thank you for the inspiration, motivation, and a little bit of guidance. 🥰

[@Cthomas5678]

I’ve often wondered about this. When I was a kid, I’m 63 now but my brother and I would Be outside all day every day and we had a creek we played in and I discovered blue clay!! I’d make little pots out of it and set it in the sun in a piece of wood. I always pretended to be an Indian or a pioneer. And I was obsessed with Indian mounds and I still have never seen one 😢 maybe I will one day yet!!

[@joysmith1213]

Gosh, I had to see if your comment was, in fact, actually my comment, haha! We sound like the same kid.

[@tanyanosek1938]

If you are ever able to visit beautiful Madison, WI you can find many mounds in this city. We have a rich Native history as this land around our lakes was a special area for the Native Ho-Chunk tribes. You encounter effigy mounds on walks around the UW Madison campus and Arboretum.

[@ngatoa1018]

so cool ☺

[@jdgran2439]

This video just randomly popped up on my feed. Thought I'd give it a shot and couldn't stop watching. It's very well done and you give concise information for the viewer to follow. Really enjoying this and looking forward to watching more of your videos. thanks for making this!

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much! And welcome around!

[@louisegogel7973]

Ditto same for me.

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

Yes, I got it random suggestion also, but I'm thrilled to see it! We have been building a house/new homestead for the past 3 years and have just now moved in, albeit in chaos! This land is horrid for trying to grow anything and must all be amended to do so, but when slogging in the yellow clay putting in water lines I made mental note of the stickiness and how deep it went. I don't have a wheel yet, but I had the method thought out and it was like what you did, except I was planning on covering my pit over. Do you have any ideas on rigging a wheel from something?

[@juliaconway5866]

[@gretchenrecuperoschmelzer3043]

Well done, Linnea! Your curiosity , research, and patience certainly paid off! Do much fun watching this process.

[@TECHSAVI_1]

My grandma used to store drinking water in a masiv clay pot And no matter how hot the day is, the water inside the pot is always refreshing and chill and has this clayish fragrance to it I miss that so much

[@Linneaandakela]

That's so smart!

[@yanting-leahli9075]

that's beautiful!

[@xlionyx]

Maybe you can remember or learn to make it, and use her method some (garden or camping summer-) day again and pass her wisdom to younger generations. ☺️🙏💖✨ P.s. but telling here is also great, nice to hear and maybe somebody can, is inspired to try this.

[@amberandrews6692]

It's because the clay was porous, so water would slowly bead out and the condensation would keep it cool. People use this method to make self-watering gardens. They would bury the pots with water and they would keep the soil damp.

[@ngatoa1018]

wow very cool ☺

[@Thatsinteresting363]

This was so fascinating! I’m not a potter nor an artist but I’m a huge history buff! This was like watching how things were done thousands of years ago by many cultures. I often think that people with these sorts of skills will be the ones who could survive the apocalypse… the rest of us have no survival skills whatsoever. PS the pots are simply beautiful ❤

[@leewillis2908]

That “failed” broken pot would look lovely with dried or fresh flowers in it! Adds character.

Please don't crush the "broken" pot! Put a cute hanging flower plant in it. Even if it's a fake flower or succulent, it would hang perfectly out of the notch at the top. I absolutely love all of your videos ❤ Keep doing what you're doing ❤

[@allenpost3616]

That type of natural unglazed pottery is ideal for potted plants. The only thing missing is some drainage holes.

[@TomoyoTatar]

You can crush it and add it back into grog

[@Hippiechick11]

When I took an archeology class, we found broken pottery was used in making new pots. Crushed and mixed in. In the are I was in, they also used crushed clam shells. I currently have tons of clay where I live in under the top soil. I've always wanted to find a way to try to make something. So thank you!

[@joeythenomad]

Gathering your materials from the land is a legit strategy, nice plays with local resources.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you, it has been so fun!

[@katherinecamp16]

I was in pottery class in high school, and we fired some of our pieces in a barrel. We threw colored newspapers and steel wool in to color our pottery, and they turned out so cool!

[@mle396]

I've paused the video in order to charge my ear piece, so I thought I'd read some comments, they All make me excited to watch more. I have looked up videos for harvesting wild clay and "how to pit fire" in the past but have not yet gone through the process. I live in Central, North East Oklahoma and many years ago hand dug a garden with my husband, that's when I found the treasure our land holds. It's Red Clay heavier in certain areas. Our front porch faces Brush Creek and I'm positive we have an abundance of raw wild clay. About 20 years ago I told my husband i had always wanted to try pottery and sculpture. He said " so educate yourself ", I did, a little. I found oven baked clay, and air dry clay & set off to sculpting, and found my hands to be blessed with wonderful skill given by the grace of God himself, blessed be his name. However a potters wheel hasn't presented itself to me yet. All in good time and I can expect to have one to use, but first I must watch the rest of your video and subscribe to follow your progress. Thank you sweet lady for your presence in sharing. God bless all of your ventures.

[@glenna-jeanwilson5180]

[@hopeepoh6638]

I encourage you to get a bird book and binos! Outside is a very busy place when you're watching and keying out a bird by it's beak, feet, then learning what it eats has always helped me pay better attention. I grew up on a Peterson Guide, my father's daughter, and to this day keep use his copy.

I'm going to echo what another viewer said, you could sell your creations to your viewers. Yet another source of income. To harvest your own clay and create the pots and then fire them in this way, is just beautiful!!!❤

[@heartdawg]

Amazing and beautiful in every way!! Thank you Linnea!🤍

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelpacnw2419]

Those turned out great! I've done a little primitive pottery. If you want to make high quality clay from virtually any soil (the more clay content the better) put dirt/clay in a bucket and add water, then stir and pour the dirty water off into a clean bucket... leaving the heavier rocks, sand, and silt in the bottom of the first bucket. The super light clay suspended in the water you pour in to the new bucket is what you'll use. let the new bucket of dirty water sit for about 20 minutes and the clay will separate and settle to the bottom leaving clear water on top. pour that water off and the clay left in the bottom of the second bucket is often store quality.

[@happycendy]

As a Swiftie to me your snake cup is the Reputation mug 😂😂 and I love how your showing us the process of making clay, very interesting ❤

[@scarlettifluff]

Your experiments are beautiful! Thats a success I reckon! Im in Australia, about ten years ago I made a red clay sculpture of a female form, as she grew leathery I burnished parts of her and then used a huge cast iron cauldron to build a fire. I lay her in the ashes and covered her with ash and filled her up with tea tree mulch, which looked like straw bales but came from tea trees. She turned an incredible black colour and the burnished areas were very shiny. I still have her, she did survive but is more fragile than an electric kiln fired piece of course.

[@thinknicethoughts88]

There is a lady that lives about 60 mi from you who built a great room in her house out of Adobe mud. It's huge and stunning with little walls that come out in tears for potted plants to sit on and alcoves with lights for display. She did it all by herself went out and gathered it worked it and built it is amazing. I look forward to seeing your property come along. I was raised at the foot of those hills
