@@AncientPottery yea I'm super interested, I do a decent bit of woodworking and in that it never "dries" supposedly. Here it looks like it does. Super excited to try this out with pottery and see the results. What do you think tony?
.My friend Tony, this was a fabulous video where you capture what you do to decorate a vase and make it beautifully decorated. You must have a lot of imagination to decorate it with that native touch that is needed. I imagine one of the vases adorned with figures of petroglyphs or cave paintings would be great. I recently visited a place where there are hundreds of petroglyphs, I will share it later. Congratulations my friend AND BLESSINGS.
Beautiful Tony! Thank you so much! I use mineral oil when I burnish the second time, it truly gives a wonderful shine! I will try it under slip too, love your work and teachings, following you from the early movies with a narrator, you where just working in a lovely cave like studio✨🕊you inspire me, love your art and your passion to this wonder filled magic. Stay safe in this beautiful universe✨✨🙏🏻
@@tonysoaresnativeclays1434 I will surely try it! Just broke a whole batch of pots, with a high wind coming up during open firing. 5 months of work gone in a flash. Building a kiln soon and plan on using the mineral oil before slipping. Thanks!
At a Pueblo II Anasazi Site in Utah, we found a piece of blue copper azurite that had been abraded and was likely mixed with beeweed as pottery paint. There were also pottery scrapers made on black and white sherds that had been shaped identical to the D and Curved shapes that you see made in sheet metal for sale in pottery art stores. Fantastic video.
Good to see a new video ! And we seem to have some things in common. Pottery and hair ! Lol I have 40 years into hairstyling but only about 5 into pottery .
Hi Tony, found your channel through Andy and I'm subscribing. Love your content and presentation... Good stuff without fluff!! Question: I want to make single-fire burnished ware, but burnishing a tempered clay body does not produce the best sheen. Solution: slip the tempered clay body with a slip that roighly matches shrinkage of clay, then proceed to burnishing. Good to go or over thinking this? Thank you and best wishes. You anywhere near Temecula?
Also if you can remove the sand and use a grog body might be better. Grog is softer and more porous, helps the slip grab and absorbs more water during surface treatment
🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶Your pottery is the best, i want one to use as a sort of water filter. So its definitely to filter and or store water, i need it to be porous like pumice to sweat and pressure to make it flow to bottom without holes. Like cone shaped. Do you sell any? I have an idea of what i need. I have one video from Argentina, but thry only sell locally. Question does baby oil, seal pottery and block it from sweating. Please reply.
@@tonysoaresnativeclays1434 Thanks for replying 🪶⚡Here is a link to the video: they use wood cylinders somehow to creature pressure for more efficient water flow to the cone shaped vessel? I still think their pottery is slow in the process of filtering water. It also contains sawdust, it read in article helpful to filter out oils. 🪶th-cam.com/video/BhVj5dK7BQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RdsUu4dU4NW6d3ZH
OMG I can't wait to try oiling my bowls. The clay I have been using has a lot of shrinkage even with the addition of temper. I have yet to be able to slip anything without the moisture causing to much rehydration and crack all the time. I have just been burnishing and dealing with all my work being orange or smudged black. I would love to be able to try black on white or polychrome decorating. Now I might just be able to pull it off. Guess I'll see.
Does applying slip to a pot like this make it less porous? Would water leak out of it more slowly with this kind of treatment than without it? Thanks for the video.
It seals the surface and keeps water from getting deep into the clay wall, keeps the pot from cracking, and helps with aligning the clay particles while polishing
Wliwni wji pi8wawadah8zi mazal8pskw thank you for returning the wisdom of clay. Kichi wligo laloka, N'dah8zi azaban olomps. Very beautiful work, I thought raccoon tracks when I saw it.
would lin seed oil or vegetable oil work instead of the mineral (petroleum based). Do you have to put more coating than usaual? Have you tried burnishing?Nice pots and good trick, thanks for sharing!
@@tonysoaresnativeclays1434 Does hand building pots instead of turning them on a wheel enable a thinner pot? Or is it your clay body that enables it? Or is it just skill?
Hi Tony, I have been watching your videos with the charcoal brick firing. Do you always preheat the pieces in the oven, or should I burn a small fire for drying before setting up the charcoal method? I really enjoy watching you create your pottery. Brenda Garcia, Spencer, NC
Love the color.I’m still having trouble getting an even full coating of slip. Your slip looks a lot thinner than mine. Wish I knew what I’m doing wrong.
@@sethtsosie4524 put dry clay in a bucket of water and let it dissolve. Stir it around then let the heavy stuff fall for a minute, pore off the fine stuff into another bucket. Let settle for a day. You can add vinegar to help it settle faster. Pore off the clear water then you should have your fine clay to mix with paint
Thank you TonySoares, there is such a short window to apply the slip. And now I can apply the slip and paint at my own convenience. Quick question do you sand your pots and do you sand right before slip and paint. Love your work!
I've read about using baby oil on pottery at Mata Ortiz but never seen it done. Thanks, great video!
Andy what do you think mineral oil does vs water when burnishing?
@@chompers11 I have thought about this question a lot. And I have no idea. Would love to hear Tony’s thoughts.

My son uses olive oil after the slip for burnishing, and gets very glossy finish. Great video brother! Nice pieces!
Try two coats of mineral oil after the slip drys. It doesn’t have the organics in it and leaves a cleaner surface

This is all new to me, thanks. I preheated a pot in my oven painted with bee plant and set off the fire alarms. Live and learn.
😀😁 Welcome to the club.

Nice ...your knowledge is greatly appreciated....thanks.
I tried the baby oil when I was burnishing once also. Interesting tip and will keep it in mind.
Great info and tip on another process we can all use.. will be trying this out as i have a couple of small olla jars to fire soon
Thanks

Solution: slip the tempered clay body with a slip that roighly matches shrinkage of clay, then proceed to burnishing. Good to go or over thinking this? Thank you and best wishes.

Yes a double coat of fine slip let dry then two coats of mineral oil. Then polish. I’m in Joshua tree, 2 hours north east of Temecula
Also if you can remove the sand and use a grog body might be better. Grog is softer and more porous, helps the slip grab and absorbs more water during surface treatment
Sure a lot of steps on the way to a finished pot. Even the broken pot is still really cool . Great video Tony 👍✌️
Gorgeous pot! That slip imparted a ‘Navajo’ white. Thanks for sharing.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍
I’m feeling Duck paws and berries.
Very interesting video! You make great tutorials Tony!
Really neat finished pot! The paw print looks just like a raccoons back paw print, just right.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers...Freddie
I wish I could take your class
Super cool work

@@amdraa2860 after the firing it remains porous

Dumb question, but can you mix a slip from mineral oil and clay?
I’ve never tried it, I don’t think so the oil would prevent it from sticking maybe.
Thank you!

It may slow the water from seeping just a little
Very nice 👌
How interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Any idea what mineral oil does vs water when using a burnishing stone to polish it?
It seals the surface and keeps water from getting deep into the clay wall, keeps the pot from cracking, and helps with aligning the clay particles while polishing
re. the slip you used here, what kind of slip is it?
A buff clay I found

Thank you so very much for sharing!!! Your pottery is absolutely gorgeous.
Dang I love this channel so much. Thanks Tony so much good content. The final pot looks awesome
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
That was a thick pot? Especially for the size of it? Wow!
Not really, one of my smaller pots
@@tonysoaresnativeclays1434 Does hand building pots instead of turning them on a wheel enable a thinner pot? Or is it your clay body that enables it? Or is it just skill?
Clay body had a lot to do with it, I can make them paper thin but it takes a bit longer
Absolutely beautiful works of art .

Make it easy and use your oven
Как красиво! Привет Вам из России🇷🇺
Very nice
love this one !
What is the gauge of the wire mesh that you use when you fire your pottery using charcoal?
I’ll check
would that color change be due to the mineral oil?
No but the salts in the clay that I use can make the red turn darker rusty color
Love the color.I’m still having trouble getting an even full coating of slip. Your slip looks a lot thinner than mine. Wish I knew what I’m doing wrong.
Yes mine was on the thin side, you want to apply it and not try to go over the same place or you will pull up the clay body surface
Do you think hide glue would have the same effect? I can't get the paint to stick lol
Hide glue will work after it is fired. Just add a little fine clay to your oxide , it should stick
Fine clay is pretty valuable these days😂
