Watch artist and primitive potter Kelly Magleby learn about and make Anasazi style pottery. Kelly went into the backcountry of Southern Utah with a knife and a buckskin to try to learn about Anasazi Pottery by doing it the way the Anasazi did it. "Earth and Fire" is a documentary poem about a passionate artist. Funded by Primitive Found (.org) Music by Jason Shaw @ audionautix.com Check out Kelly's art at anasazipottery.net This the 1st video of 2016 for The Talking Fly short documentary project by filmmaker Steve Olpin, Enjoy!

Nice one Kelly!!

Wonderful. I Love the decorations on those pots!
i dig it too!
very impressive. yes, the “lack” of conventional narration actually made the video stronger. well done. 🙂
Michael K watch Primitive Technology my dude
yeah I guess if you’re the type of person who doesn’t ask questions like, “what the hell is that, why are you doing that, how do you do that.” then yes these videos are fabulous for people who just wanna look and not understand. I would have loved to know why, how, and what.
Its extremely common im these types of videos. I find it annoying.and not helpful to.learning. but this wasnt really a ‘how to’ video
5 minutes later: Oooh this isnt her page, its the documentary dudes. Oh ok
This was just amazing. Living in the wild, using natural processes and materials to make, decorate and fire clay pottery. Starting the fire by natural means and a very attractive woman… must be a god after all. That looks like heaven and pure bliss to me.
thanks for checking out the video and the comment! it was a fun project.
The knowledge set to get this done is simply amazing. From the hand drill fire to the making of her own brushes. That is flatly amazing.
So beautiful, peaceful, and informative! I love that there are no words, so anyone in the world can enjoy it without having to worry about language barriers. I wish it were a little longer, with more details, but you got everything across just fine. I’m sharing this one!
As a novice sculptor, I have a tendency to obsessively over think. This was a pleasant reminder that the doing is where the truth lays. Thank you for enlightening.
I love this girl she is amazing what great skills I’m hoping to see more videos thank you for sharing
Absolutely amazing! Perfect composition… Can’t even express my feelings. Thank you for making me feel this way.
It’s crazy how much more impactful this is without any commentary.
Beautiful capture of such a delicate art demonstration.
