In today's Youtube video I explore how best to seal oil lamps to keep them from oozing oil all over the place. Check it out on my youtube channel.

Pottery can be decorated with a wide variety of natural materials. From organic paint made from boiled down plants, to different colored clays and different colored minerals. Manganese dioxide, iron oxide and copper carbonate can all make different colored paints. My spring mug workshop starts tomorrow and we will be using a lot of these materials to decorate our mugs. Which of these natural pigments have you had success with? #naturalpigment #earthpigment #decoratingpottery #wildclay

Every month we start a new replica project in the Ancient Potters Club drawn from the archaeological record of the ancient Southwest. Here is a look at what we have done so far this year. We just started on the April project last Wednesday so no photo of that yet but hopefully it will come out just as good as the previous three.

The Ancient Potters Club is my weekly Zoom pottery class, we get together on Wednesday evening over Zoom to talk about the project, work on the pot and share our successes and failures so we can all learn together. If you are interested in joining us go to my website at AncientPottery.how

Using AI to show ancient pottery. I know the use of AI can be somewhat controversial so allow me to explain what I am doing. I am working on a documentary about the ancient Southwest for which there are very few good, usable photos of the artifacts. But I can feed a very small black on white photo of a pot into AI, tell it the size and colors to use and get back an extremely accurate high resolution color photo that I can use in my documentary. I can also use AI to recreate scenes of what everyday life looked like 1000 years ago. Pictured is an amazing Sacaton Red on Buff (A.D. 950-1150) jar excavated from Snaketown that is 25 inches in diameter.

This stunning Snowflake Black-on-White pitcher is sitting proud in its natural habitat — an ancient Southwestern landscape of sun-baked rock, yucca, and sage. With its bold geometric meanders and crisp lightning motifs, this ancient pot feels like it could still hold the stories of centuries ago.Hand-painted in that iconic black-on-white palette, every line tells of skilled hands that worked the clay long before us.

My spring mug workshop is coming up in another week. Southwestern mugs come in a lot of shapes and sizes but my favorites are these round bottomed mugs. These were most common in the far western Pueblo world (ancestral Hopi) but occasionally elsewhere too, one of these is Mesa Verde Black on White and one is Maverick Mountain Polychrome. #mugs #ancientpottery #southwestpottery
