How to Make a Duck Pot - The Whole Process

The 4th pot in the Salado challenge is the duck effigy pot. Here I show how I made the duck pot, decorated it and fired it all using primitive pottery techniques. No specialized tools or equipment needed and the cost is essentially nothing. What is the Salado challenge? And what did the ancient people do with these duck shaped pots?
