Thanks for the video. Ive got a heart shaped, flat metal table-cloth weight that makes a magnificent scraper. it seems to have all the right curves, and I use the top of mine for rims too ;-) It is a very versatile shape. Now I'll have to look for a heart shaped smoothing stone to make a pair. Your pot is lovely. I made a couple in Andys class but I used some poor quality clay and also didnt preheat slowly enough, so they both cracked before even going into the fire. Now they are sherds in my driveway. Maybe in a few hundred years people will really wonder why there is native american pottery in southern Australia. 😀
As an archaeologist, I often think about how confusing it will be to find our "modern prehistoric" pottery in the middle of a suburban garden (you're not the only one who decorates their garden that way...I guess that's the solace when we lose a pot!) Yes, the Native American pottery in Australia could make for some pretty wild speculations about trade links in 1000 years! : D
I don't know her name...new to the conference. Brought her pup with her...I think she was from CA. Fourth from the left, seated, in the final group photo.
Thank you for video. Appreciate the detailed commentary too 👍🏼

Who is that with the pot tattooed on the back of her leg at 50:29
