Hi,
Here are some sites for ancient pottery techniques
and also some history for you all to enjoy.
The Rocky Mountain Survival Group (RMSG):
http://www.artrans.com/rmsg/
Links to plans for two kickwheels and a treadle wheel
http://www.artrans.com/rmsg/textiles/pottery.htm
(I've seen the first set of kickwheel plans before,
but I think not the second set by Leonard Smith.)
Smith also has a nearly comprehensive article on raw glazing at:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~smithl/Rawglaze.html
Other links at RMSG:
Native Tech's photo essay of bonfire firing pots.
http://www.nativetech.org/pottery/photofiring.html
Good photos. Other pottery-related links also.
(I may have mentioned this site before, but there
is a bit more here now.)
Regia Anglorum
http://www.regia.org/baldred.htm
The Regia Anglorum site also has a pit firing article with
pictures. There are a couple of other pottery links as well.

non-traditional forms and decoration.

American Indian Arts, Preston Duwyenie.

critique
for each group.
