@@AncientPotterydear Andy I live in the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina and whatever I do I can’t seem to end with clay I am now desperate and almost feel like giving up I’ve tried day after day for now almost two years please help please if you can make a video on how to make clay in these mountains specially I would really appreciate it thank you so very much pls help me if anyone can do it it’s you thanks

[@AncientPottery]

@@SOUTHERN-PACIFIC-4449 man, you live in North Carolina, the wild clay capital of the world. I don’t know what I can tell you to help but there has to be clay around you somewhere. Maybe you can ask some local potters if they can share a location with you.

[@SOUTHERN-PACIFIC-4449]

@@AncientPottery ok thx

[@SOUTHERN-PACIFIC-4449]

@@AncientPottery ok so I think I might be doing the process wrong is there a specific way to make clay in the mountains and if not how do I know what process to go for ex dry process or strainer method and also I love your channel it’s amazing I’ve watched since I was 5 I’m not even joking keep up the great work

[@ellenlinscheid9435]

Thanks for sharing this Andy!

[@AncientPottery]

My pleasure!

[@jsmythib]

This looks like alot of fun. Such a fun hobby :) Even the flint napping tangent. Something I also have tried and learned on KZbin. It has been alot of fun watching this channel grow. Even more fun watching the 'reverberations' it has created among its viewers. Thanks Andy.

[@IceLynne]

That was an awesome weekend! Thanks for sharing ☺

[@AncientPottery]

Yes it was!

[@cindydawson3815]

❤Awesome job! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@AncientPottery]

Thanks for watching!

[@willorocks]

Wow, how cool! So many people were there, lots of neat pots too! Just awesome. Interesting mixed results with your reduction firing. It was a large hot fire it looked like!

[@AncientPottery]

Yes it was a lot of fun. I think I shouldn't have stacked that firing the way I did, I have only fired one or two pots together this way and I was out of my element trying to fire so many pieces. But I have ideas about trying this again soon.

[@sheilam4964]

What a great vid. Thx for filming this and sharing it.

[@AncientPottery]

[@markgibsons_SWpottery]

[@SurvivalAussie]

Bob Cassia's pot, around the 8:15 minute mark, was incredible.

[@AncientPottery]

Bob really knows what he's doing.

[@tommyseaton2900]

Cheers from Kayenta Az!

[@AncientPottery]

Hey, Kayenta! Know where there is any good clay up there on the Rez?

[@catastrfy]

oh my, love seeing rod dotson's flint blades!

[@AncientPottery]

He is a master

[@jill-ti7oe]

Your choice of music made me laugh. 😄👍

[@AncientPottery]

I started with the William Tell Overture just because I wanted that cartoon morning song, but the more I looked at that music the more of it seemed to fit the mood of that day. Glad you liked it.

@@AncientPottery Bugs Bunny was the first thing I thought of when I heard this. Mission accomplished!

[@AceFace50001]

Love the Pee Wee Herman quote! 🤣

[@AncientPottery]

Ha, I wouldn't have filmed it myself, but after it was captured, I had to include it.

Too hot to handle too cold to hold we call the Ghostbusters and they're in control

[@Jakeprimativeadventure]

I saw you there!

[@AncientPottery]

Did I get to meet you? Not sure, I met so many people and was so busy.

[@Jakeprimativeadventure]

@@AncientPottery yes! I had 1 or 2 conversations with you.

[@AncientPottery]

@@Jakeprimativeadventure probably one of those things where your name doesn’t ring a bell but if I could see your face it would.

[@Jakeprimativeadventure]

@@AncientPottery yea that’s ok but it was really cool to meet you
