*The Die* seems to have been omitted in the edit. It fired OK. I'll show it in part 4. *Observations & Analysis* Firstly and foremostly, *this can't be impossible.* People did this for millennia, before electric and gas kilns, before commercially prepared clay. *This IS possible. I will press on until it works for me.* My tentative conclusion is that the large pots were worked from clay that was too wet and soft - this made it seem more delicate than it should be, resulting in thick walls that were insufficiently compacted. Furthermore, I think the fire probably didn't stay hot enough, for long enough, for the larger pieces. *The (tentative) plan:* *Make more large pots from slightly dryer clay* - probably one sand tempered, two raw clay (I have loads of that) and one grogged with some of the reddest parts of the failed pots, ground up. Waiting until the clay is more firm before trying to work with it. *Make the pots with thinner, more compacted walls,* - achieve this by smoothing and pressing and compacting with a smoothing tool made from the clam shell. *Fire in a larger fire, in a deeper pit* - so it stays hotter for longer and so that the pots do not become uncovered and exposed to cooling crosswind until the fire has died down naturally (ie. leave them buried in the embers overnight to cool gradually)

The deeper pit will probably make the most difference due to the even heating and cooling. You might want to build a kiln around the fire with suitable air flow through the fire, something that'd be difficult in a deep pit.

I believe what’s most important for the large pots is that they not be _exposed_ to air even if you have to cover them with ash and coals or burn a lot of smaller items over them, rather than the area simply being hot. Leaving them covered until the ashes cool down is only going to help. In addition you should try to make sure the pots are hot enough by making sure they’re “glowing” in the fire; everything glows the same color at the same heat barring some weird chemical reactions (ie the charcoal itself glowing rather than the fire colors), what you have to be careful of is how that glow views in various levels of light can have a very extreme swing. On a bright day something that’s 2000f can look nearly cold, on a dark night any slight glow is visible. I believe you’re aiming for a general “orange” in a more medium light, ie hotter than red and cooler than yellow. Between the two, you’ll probably find where the failure point was; not getting quite hot enough compared to the other pots, and then being exposed. I think if the thickness or drying was off, or the issue was a rock in the clay or material, you’d have seen spalling which there was no sign of, or if it was too soft even slumping or deformation. Similar with water content, presumably they’d have exploded or spalled in the fire.

Yes, often smaller items are placed inside larger ones during the best firing as well as all items being very crowded around each other this is to help create a more even temperature throughout and to help make sure that he is drawn inside of the larger items evenly with the outside. I Believe by placing his larger pots upside down he not only limited the ability for the heat to evenly flow to the inside so that it would be the same and equal temperature to the outside but it also put the more fragile bottom facing up whereas typically in a woodfire the base would be down as well as the fire being kept around the object as you stated but I do believe this could be averted if you have smaller items on the inside that help raise the pot up a bit off of the ground allowing air to flow underneath the lip that is facing down on the pot.

Hey Shrimp, I am sorry i am a bit late! I went to school for two years for ceramics and i have to say you did amazing! I do have a few recommendations for you. 1. It is a good idea to let clay ferment. There is mold that is in stone clay that i would use in the studio, this mold helps with elasticity in the clay, the best way to get mold in the clay is to let it age. When i would recycle clay we would take the clay that was supper soft and let it sit on a concrete or plaster slabs to slowly dry out and age the clay. the clay could sit on the table for up to 2 weeks to get the mold in it and to dry it out. (the studio that i went to school and was a work study at mainly did wheel throwing so we went though a ton of clay) 2. another thing that could help you with mixing your clay up (when you added in the grogged shells/sand) is wedging. I highly recommend you look at videos for rams horn wedging it really helps work the clay, mixing it and getting any air bubbles out of the clay, there is also a type called conch shell wedging but rams horn tends to be easier. 3. My recommendation for your bigger pots is paddling; and it is exactly as is sounds, you place your hand on the inside and hold the pot steady and with a piece of wood lightly hit it. This compresses the clay, helps shape the pots, and helps with the surface texture. This helps a lot with coil pots/pinch pots. 4. You may want to fire them in a deeper hole so its more insulated (kzitem.info/news/bejne/0quVqJdjgJhkgaA , this is an amazing video that explains it better than i can. 5. With the larger pots something that could have caused the cracking is not letting the clay get to a bone dry stage. When you combine the clay that still has some moisture with the high heats you where getting to it can cause fractures with the moisture tying to vaporize. 6. Dont handle the pots too much when they are dry, when clay gets to its bone dry stage it is its most venerable stage so your dont want to move it around too much. if you do get cracks in the clay that you can see take a small amount of white vinegar and an even smaller amount of your clay mix them together and use that to fill the cracks. I think its amazing that you broke your bigger pots more to see the inside walls. when ever a piece brakes it is always sad but also a very good way to evaluate your skills and what you need to work with. With what i am assuming is your first time in years working with clay, but your first time fully making clay you did an amazing job and have a knack for it! I am more than happy to help answer any questions you may have as i am trying to become a ceramics teacher!

Note that captions are essential unless you want to simply appreciate his videos aesthetically. That's another reason I recommend his channel; I think his (very intentional) charm aligns with yours, especially Slow TV.

Really good result for your first try, all the intact pieces are great. The thicker walls and greater overall mass is exactly what I suspect broke those two big ones. Even with very dry pottery, moisture still remains, and especially in the inside of very thick parts. That moisture turns to steam and forces its way out as soon as it heats up, then you get cracks. A big piece will still need to be thicker than a small one, but less thick than this first try I think.

The other thing about the way reduction firing is done by the natives of the US's south west may also be worth considering. They do it by covering the fire to deprive it of oxygen. I think this also slows how fast it gets hot. This also means that the space where the pots are fired is still covered after the fire goes out. They leave the pots in there as the temperature cools meaning that they have also slowed the cooling.

Your pottery-attempt confirms my thoughts about documentaries about prehistoric civilisations: I think the represenation of our ancestors is pretty silly. As if the people were less intelligent or ingeniuos back then. The oldest ceramic figure is about 25000 years old and has no cracks... When they found the Ötzi mummy (about 5300 yeras old) they were surprised by his sophisticated footwear. But of course they must have had good equipment otherwise there wouldn't have been time for crafting art and migration all around the world.

Something you could also do with one (or both) of the broken pots: There is a Japanese practice called Kintsugi, which is the practice of repairing broken pottery or china using gold (or gold paint) to highlight the cracks in the piece. Basically you glue the pots back together, and paint over the cracks with the gold paint to highlight the pattern that they make. I think it is a very beautiful practice, and very meaningful as well; just because something broke doesn't mean that it is no longer beautiful or valuable; in fact the break allows for even more beauty to be added to it. Just a thought for something you could try! I know they sell Kintsugi kits online but you could probably also find your own Atomic-Shrimpy way to do it :)

Thickness I don't think is the problem (though, agreed with the possibility of flint or whatever cooking off inside it), just an hour sounds way too fast from my experience, both for something that big, and thick. For sure, you can fire absolutely anything -- if it's done slow enough! Just like glass, and for the same reason of course. For point of reference -- gosh, that was back in highschool I did that, I originally had made a metal-melting furnace, but also tried a bit of pottery in it. And being an impatient lad, I definitely had to find what speed to go at. It was gas fired, and fortunately I made a gas burner of suitable design to run smoothly down to very low throttle (like household natural gas levels), all the way up to the max 30 PSI the regulator would deliver. That, and with some extra insulation to block off openings, made the environment reasonably conducive to firing -- still rather uneven as it was much hotter by the tuyere, but good enough to make a few things. Anyway, I got lots of cracked and warped items if I rushed it, but found that turning it up, bit by bit, over three or four hours, was the minimum to get solid bodies out. I could go up to yellow heat with that, equivalent to probably around a cone 0 to 6. For a wood fire, I definitely think something bigger and slower will prove helpful. You'll need quite a pile of wood I expect, for something as big and thick as that one pot, just doing it out in the open versus some kind of kiln. ...Have you considered using a thickness gauge, like those long curved calipers say, to help trim the thickness? Could still sand/scrape down an over-thick pot once it's mostly dry, and this would solve the issue with not knowing (sanding too far, leaving thin spots or even holes..).

After many years of throwing pottery, it's taught me not to become attached to anything, because at any point in the process you can lose your piece. So I very much appreciate your apprehension at firing your dried pieces. I haven't finished the video yet, but I predict they will fire just fine. What makes pieces break is either using a runny glaze that winds up fusing the piece to the kiln floor (a non-issue for you), or an air bubble inside the clay, which I believe were mostly avoided in your hand building.

Atomic Shrimp is the guy I'd want to be working with if the world were left with just natural resources. Talk about teaching a man how to fish. His catalogue alone shows so much of how to survive and create with just the bare necessities. Great job AS!

Sad because I have to wait for another part. Glad because the series isn't over yet.
