Any one want to bring some dried clay
to my place sometime soon can pm me
if they want to fire it.
I need to fire these before I build any more.
I can do surface kiln or pit firing.

Thanks Dog

I love to see recovered ceramics from digs.
I was introduced to it by a good friend.
Dayton F Statts. RIP

Ruddy, Thanks I'll keep you-all posted.
If successful.

BJ If there are any questions or ideas we
are sure to help you out. To bad your not closer.
You, I think would fit right in.

Put it in the freezer until I get there....

I made a couple also and need to pit fire them. I can already see another addiction starting. I need enough pots to put all my points I make in....

Really nice pots you made Don!

Thanks NC
It would be an honor if you would
make the journey to fire up with us.
With Letchworth, Flint Ridge and all
it may take a bit of time to nail down
the date. But we will make it happen.
But we should try to do it interim if a
firing is going to happen at House MT
in Oct. Mid Sept.

Nice Zuma. Are you using that pinched rim method for making them? When you fire them ABO do you start small fires all the way around them building up fire until it completely covers them?

When we fired the pottery at House Mt we did it pretty much that way BJ.
I am trying a pit fire this time at home. I'll post some pics.
Thanks Eddie, I'll keep you posted.
