  • WOW!!!!! You could live in one of then!

  • @sleachpots amazing clay vessels for wine!

  • Simon, I just discovered your videos tonight. I am the teacher who did the you Tube video, heritage box, and Canopic jar. You are so wonderful. I want to watch you teach many lessons. I am learning so much from you, thank you Simon. I live in California and Teach High school Ceramics.

  • Simon your videos have been really helpful though right now i dont have the money to buy clay and am about to lose my house... but Amphoras might have been made in sections and then put together back in the day humans were much more artistic then we are now but thats my guess as to how they were made

  • Hey Simon, more vids like this are welcomed! You've done a million how-to videos (and seem to be repeating them), maybe a series in museums would be an idea - it would be great to learn how these amphoras were made. Don't worry, if you "change it up" like Neil Young always does, we'll watch! Thanks mate, you are the best! Owen in Oregon

  • I imagine that they must have had some kind of lid or seal to go over the mouth of them yes . SL

  • Thanks Simon for posting that clip.  I love to see your countryside.

  • i have seen smaller ones like this in the south of france and my uncle explaind that there made with a wooden form that is sectioned like an orange then raped in rope .then the clay is throne on and carved off with wooden outer form. then when dry the rope can be uncoiled and the sections of the form removed . jon rowe

  • Wow. I can't imagine someone making pots that large. What is "Tenokas"? (sp?) I'll have to run down some research sites to find out more about these. I've wondered what they were from the first time I visited your homepage. I'd LOVE to own one of these just to make sure it was preserved. That's the 1 thing I hate about the USA. So few things are preserved. People would rather tear down than repair and keep. My friend was right, I was surely born in the wrong geographic area. LOL!

  • Ohhh spookie ;-) What a play house, a bit to big for me to make LOL
