Mrs. White and her students have dug a pit, gathered cedar logs for fuel and have begun to make pottery the way primitive Indians did in open fires. They have nor potter’s wheel or other modern l equipment but use stones to round and hollow out the inside of the pottery bowls. Through their studies, the class has the knowledge to do it the way the Iroquis Indians produced pottery. “We use low fire clays and after the clay is moulded it is then put into the fire pit. It takes about 2V2 hours to fire a ceramic dish. Damp leaves and sawdust is used to cover the fired pots and this lowers the temperature and contains the smoke. A process like this leaves the clay burnish covering on the pot,” Siys Mrs. White, “Our class is fortunate to have an Indian Clay put that . y L' is an estimated 900 years old ' ’ - amiC in: 0 aliSt Coiifiger to model from.
