In which I show how to make pottery paint from naturally occurring materials. I process Mesquite beans into paint binder and natural collected hematite rocks into red iron oxide paint. Also processing Yucca leaves for brushes.

I've got to be honest man, I'm a drafting student and your skill at free handing designs with such simple paints and tools is genuinely impressive. Especially getting straight lines to come out nicely on something like a pot.

❤ We grounded them up and made flourit's a honey certain nutty flavor of flour. Very good flourthere was many other things we cooked with it. I grew up way out on ranches. Live down doors most of my life, when it comes to the old stuff. I know it comes to the modern stuff. Forget it. I am as dumb as bunch of rocks. There is so much wild foods out there. People just don't know it a lot of good herbs too. The mazzine erves are very important in the nout. Since I've lived down many states. I have taught my kids many, many herbs. Some of the most prettiest pottery I've ever seen. Thoughwho's in Arizona my home state my families are pioneers. Here I comment from a long, long. Line of pioneers, I really love everything you do I love watching you and you are very interesting what you say and how you project yourself very impressive. I'm an old lady so I know what the hell I'm talking about? Straight on no punches, no b******* Rock on

Great video!! A couple questions.... So can you apply the mesquite bean liquid alone as paint, or does it need additional ingredients? Also, can these be used in conjunction with burnishing?
@AncientPottery
@AncientPottery 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, any of these paints can be applied to a burnished surface. And a mineral paint can be burnished too. You can use organic paint as I did on that bowl I showed in the video but the clay that it is applied to has to be of a certain type.

Hey another A++....so the the hematite paint would contain a binder(bee plant, mesquite bean) and also some clay slip ( white slip?)...so your paint sticks to the green pot and then hardens nicely with the fired pot...this paint would work in an oxidation firing?
@AncientPottery
@AncientPottery 4 жыл бұрын
Exactly. It would also work in a reduction firing. If your fire gets hot enough 900 C, the iron can harden without any clay but my fires seldom get that hot.

@AncientPottery
@AncientPottery 2 жыл бұрын
For mineral paint and organic binder is helpful but not necessary, almost any plant material can be cooked down in just the same way as I do the mesquite beans in this video. What is more important in mineral paint is a fixative, the thing that will make your paint permanent after firing. Make sure you add about 25 - 33% clay with your manganese to make it harden in the fire.

Could you use beets for paint? If so, would you need a binder? Would you mix it with some clay or something else? How do you get black or brown paint?
@AncientPottery
@AncientPottery 2 жыл бұрын
You need my natural paints class (link below). It depends on what you are doing, beets could be turned into organic paint such as I am making in this video but it would require that it be applied to a special clay slip and fired a certain way. On the other hand if you were using it for a binder for a mineral paint, then yes, a clay fixative would have to be added to allow those minerals to harden in the fire. Paints are a bit of a complex subject to try to cover in a comment. My class is here ancientpottery.how/courses/natural-pottery-paints-slips-and-pigments/

I’d like to know why didn’t they use the charcoal for black when it’s plentiful? Also, what was used for green paint? I know yucca scrapings are beautiful green, (I know the color wasn’t utilized in pottery and probably was pretty rare)
@AncientPottery
@AncientPottery 3 жыл бұрын
Green paint is unknown in traditional Southwestern pottery. Some modern Pueblo and Mata Ortiz potters use green underglaze for paint. But it is never naturally derived. Black organic paint is inside the slip, not on top of it, I don't think you could get the same effect from making paint from charcoal.

Hey, I'm not sure if you'd have an answer for this or not, but maybe you can help me out; For some reason, when I handle anything that has a lot of iron in it, I get what looks like a mild chemical burn where that item was touching me (I'm not sure what's in it that causes this, since I'm not a medical professional). This makes certain parts of pottery, like glazing with iron or hematite, or working with certain clays, difficult for me because it is painful. Do you have any suggestions for things I could use instead, or should I just keep wearing gloves?
