  • UNA MARAVILLOSA CERAMISTA

    

  • AMAZING!!!!

    

  • @flarbton it seems that american indian pottery is made almost the same way, at least certain tribes make their pots by pounding, molding and using hands and shaping tools rather than the wheel. Then they even etch them as do the CHinese.

    I'm not into art other than music anymore no days.

  • @Kam3k yeah, you know what's odd, when i was 14 our art teacher had us make whatever we wanted out of a slab of clay, she taught us the basic slip usage etc, but on my own creativity thought of pounding it out flat, cut 4 pieces and made a fluted type of vase with diamond motif on it, even had a lid kind of like a chinese rooftop. I pieced it altogether just like they do with Yixing wares. My teacher glazed and fired it with a blue crackle finish, but she liked it so much she kept it!!!

  • @RayFeelaveR Yes I know about avoiding air bubbles, thanks since I've been making pottery quite while. I'm asking about this specific technique. This sort of pounding isn't used in wheel thrown pottery for example. I think its more to do with compaction than air bubbles, I think the clay would be well prepared and free of bubbles before the process seen in this video.

  • @Kam3k lol you need to learn a lot, you CAN'T have air bubbles in any ceramic arts, the clay will explode upon firing if you do... thus the pounding out of air bubbles over rolling up and trapping air.

  • Outstanding!!!

  • incredible watch the 2 vids

  • This was wonderful to watch, I've never seen a hand-building technique like this before. I'm interested in the significance of bashing the clay rather than rolling, I assume compacting the clay is very important.

    Is there a name for this technique? Its a kind of slab building I guess. Is there anywhere I can read more about it? Do you know what kind of clay is used and how hard it is? Any more information would be great, I'd love to try this technique myself.

    Thanks
