PRIMITIVE "FIRING" OF PRIMITIVE POTTERY CLASS IN THE OUTDOORS AT ZORTHIAN RANCH IN ALTADENA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH 2023, 11AM TO 5PM. ($25) JIM ROBERTSON IF YOU HAVE A PIECE OF POTTERY (OR MORE) FROM OUR RECENT PRIMITIVE POTTERY MAKING CLASS (OR ANYWHERE ELSE), AND WOULD LIKE TO "FIRE" IT "THE OLD WAY", BRING IT.  WE WILL START OUR FIRE "THE OLD WAY" AS OUR ANCESTORS DID BY RUBBING THE STICKS TOGETHER USING HAND DRILL OR BOW DRILL METHOD.  THEN WE WILL PLACE THE POTTERY ON A NICE BED OF VERY HOT COALS AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY COVER THE POTTERY WITH HOT COALS ... THEN WATCH AND WAIT UNTIL THE  POTTERY IS PROPERLY "FIRED", MEANING THE POTTERY WILL BECOME GLOWING RED/ORANGE, AND PASS OUR WATER DROP, AKA "SPIT" TEST.  :)  THE FIRING WILL MAKE THE POTTERY STRONGER AND CAPABLE OF HOLDING WATER WITHOUT LEAKING AND COOKING FOOD. EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ITEM TO FIRE YOU MAY STILL CHOOSE TO JOIN US TO LEARN (OR SHARE SOME OF YOUR OWN SKILLS KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM) AND/OR SIMPLY ENJOY THE CAMARADERIE WITH OTHER NATURE LOVERS.  ZORTHIAN RANCH IS A FUN AND FUNKY (IN A GOOD WAY) PLACE TO VISIT.  I LOVE SUPPORTING PLACES LIKE THIS THAT ENCOURAGE, SUPPORT AND PRACTICE THINGS SUCH AS REGENERATIVE ORGANIC PERMACULTURE, AGRICULTURE, COBB OVEN BUILDING, STONE ART, ETC. IT WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF TAKING A BREAK FROM MODERN TECHNOLOGY AS WE ABSORB AND RADIATE THE ENERGY OF MORE NATURAL WAYS AND OUR MOTHER EARTH.
