Santa Fe Style Pot Shaping

Video Transcript

"Now we've got it over here. I've just been looking at it. I like, I like the necks on the native pots. I like the way they look like this. They look like space ships. Maybe they were modeled after space ships. Rough like that. And it gives it just this thing up here. For some reason it’s that all the native pots have this look to them. All right, now you've got it there. And since we're going to burnish this piece we want to get it as smooth as possible. Nice clean lines. Any of these lines we want to get them out of there. You know, I'm feeling pretty good about that right there because what I'm going to do later on is when I burnish this with my rock I'm going to burnish the belly and I'm going to leave this un burnished. So that we'll have this two toned effect. This will be nice and shiny whereas this will be dull and rustic looking. So now we want to clean up the bottom. We just want to just grab out potter's knife and we're going to go in in and we're going to give it a nice trim on the wheel."
