Mistakes Were Made... (and so was this bowl)

For the Ancient Pottery Challenge for season 4 I am starting with the Encinas Red on Brown bowl. The original was found in a cave high in the Pinaleño Mountains near Safford, Arizona back in 1983. Now I am connecting to the past by recreating that bowl using clay I collected from near where the original was found. This video shows the whole process from a lump of raw clay through firing to the finished pot.
