How to Make a Large Pottery Jar (Olla) With Coils From Beginning to End

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Wrapping up the 10 ancient forms in the Ancient Pottery Challenge, the olla is the last form for me to attempt. In this video I am using the ancient "coil and scrape" method to produce a large Tularosa Black on White jar, called an olla in the American Southwest. Follow along through every step as I produce this large jar, from coil building, to scraping and smoothing, slipping and burnishing, then painting and finally the outdoor pottery firing. This video took over two weeks to produce, show me some love, and hit the like button if you like this format.
