Those are inspiring! For a while I was learning traditional coil Cherokee pottery from a student of Anna Mitchell's. She is a renown Cherokee potter, using collected clay, mostly from the red earth areas in south Oklahoma.
I got distracted, though, and fell out of touch with my teacher. At the time, we were just working on collecting the clay and grinding it. I never got as far as mixing it with a binder or firing anything. Just grinding the clay is a tough enough and time consuming job. I think at the time I was too impatient.
