This wonderfully interesting video was sent to me by 2018 Alumni Sara Ryave.
I just now got a chance to watch it and it's so riveting if you are interested in trying your hand at clay.
It's from a series on the Internet called Primitive Technology
and shows the digging, making and firing of clay vessels.
Below is it's Wikipedia explanation.

Primitive Technology is a YouTube channel run by John Plant. Based in Far North Queensland, Australia, the series demonstrates the process of making tools and buildings using only materials found in the wild.
Below is the great video.
Enjoy!
This was amazing to watch ... and perfectly timed as one of my 7 year old grandsons just completed an assignment to make a structure that could withstand a hair dryer aka the "big bad pig" (from the book "The three little wolves and the big bad pig" ... a great read aloud) ... his adobe building, made with "dirt" from his yard which surely had clay content, ended up being strong enough to withstand his dad's leaf blower!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled you can pass it on, even as long as I've been working with clay it was really fascinating for me as well.
