They look so good! Im getting a bunch of firewood to try another firing. The last time I tried just the outer layer of the clay was just barely fired. It wasn't usable. I think I need to make the fire bigger and let it cook longer. Im definitely getting closer though. The first two times I tried I put the vessels in too soon and they blew up. This time there were only small cracks, so next time I'll go even slower and let it burn longer with a bigger bed if coals. Thanks for the video.
Not on the pieces in this video, but I have since started using it, because I want to build larger vessels. I found a source of brittle granite nearby that I grind up and mix into the clay. This will probably be on one of my next videos.
No plans at the moment. It just seemed like an interesting piece to try and a potentially useful tool to have. It works well, but I have some improvement ideas for the next version.
Just a reminder: As always, this is a silent video with subtitles. Please turn on the video captions for my notes and comments.
you've got an amazing quality of clay and some great skills. I wish I could have your video editing skills

Hi, do you use temper?

@@MakeItPrimitive thank you so much for the reply 🙂
I have shale near where I live, that could maybe make good temper. I’ll give it a go. I’m a beginner but I love the primitive way.
What do you plan on using the sieve for?
