Some pots
« on: October 15, 2015, 08:34:18 pm »
These are a few pots I built using the morsel method.
A practice used by the natives of the Upper Delaware Valley
PA NY NJ. It allows for some very thin light weight ware.

Great pots! Are the shapes reproductions? They look like straight from the neolithic  ;D Very light coloured clay on some of them. I like the fire marked one, too. These are always my favourites.
Don't shoot!

Thanks Gents,
Jodo, I was trying different reduction techniques in the kill.
The pots in the foreground are still leather.
The bigger ones could be ball or terracotta clays.

Really nice work. I am going to start remembering where I see clay and bring some home.

Start with a pinch pot and then add strips
around the circumference and pinch em on.
On the outside to expand and on the inside
to close in towards the rim.

NC
The large pots are commercial ball and terracotta.
The ones in the foreground are river dug clay from NJ/PA
