Black Gloss
How to get gloss black pottery?
I have a peice of pottery and I want to fire it in a pit and i want it to come out black like the native american pottery. How do I go about doing this. Thank you
-Burnishing-
You’ve gotten some good replies already, but I wanted to add that I remember reading that one important step in producing the smooth, shiny pots that some Native Americans preferred was burnishing the dried pot before firing, to compress the clay particles at the surface. They would use hard, smooth, stream-worn stones or pieces of smooth, hard wood or bone to burnish their pots, but you could use the back (convex side) of a spoon. Burnishing, (rubbing firmly with a smooth, hard tool), was also used to polish soft metals like gold, silver, or bronze in other ancient cultures.
The burnished pots were smoke fired at a relatively low temperature, so that the smooth finish wouldn’t be spoiled – but that meant that those pots wouldn’t work as well for holding water.
OK… here’s a couple of web pages which describes the process…
