Answer 3

Designs were painted on Southwestern Native pottery by using a colored clay and water mixture called "slip". Instead of brushes, potters used yucca leaves that had been stripped down to different thicknesses. The native American pottery being made today in the southwest is being made in the traditional way.

You can use clay that you dig out the ground. Clay is a major part of the soil in many places.

If you have a heavy claybsoil in your area (ie if your mud can be moulded) then you can try making a small pot, dry it and and place it under a flowerpot in the hottest part of the fire (if you have an open fire at home. Pile on the coal, give it some time and with luck your pot will have hardened.

Answer 5

Most Native pottery used slip or mineral pigments (metallic oxides) before firing. Slip is liquid clay and can be many natural colors and applied to damp ( or sometimes dry not fired) pottery. It can be painted or dipped. Then it can be burnished ( polished with a smooth stone) if desired.

When the pot is brought to a high enough temperature to make it useful (about 1500-1900F), the slip or pigment becomes a permanent part of the pot.

Pottery can also gain color through firing techniques, using oxidation or reduction of the clay during firing.

Potters all over the world have used these techniques for more than 10,000 years and they still use them today.
