DISCOVERY OF FIRING THE CADDO WAY
KahWinHut 5-6-2013
All of my fully traditional Caddo pottery pieces are primitive pit-fired in this manner. From now moving forward it has come apparent to me that the ancient legacy and traditions of Caddo pottery making has tremendous value, not only to those that are interested in Native American pottery and collectors, but more importantly to the Caddo tribal members that might be interested in the future in making a livelihood from our precious knowledge and traditional technniques. Because of this, I am removing all but the images and dates and maybe a few comments here and there, of all my primitive ancient Caddo pit-fire experiments and events. I will continue to teach and educate the public about the awareness of ancient Caddo pottery and our own tribal members exactly how to do Caddo Pit-fires through classes at headquarters and personal classes to anyone that is interested, at my home in Ada, OK. Please contact me if you would like personal lessons on primitive pit-firing and potterymaking. Also please contact me if you are Caddo and would like to see all the pit-firing information pages or lessons. ![]()
