Im up for it, although do you have to use clay that you find or can you use shop bought stuff?

A very skilled and clever man, I wish I had his skills and tenacity, tounge in cheek I'd say he would have been better served by rewarding himself with a smoke from the Hemp family!

A friend of mine makes all sorts of pottery but also experiments with bonfire fired pots in various prehistoric styles. Grogging might improve the finished product, even ground up old pots eg from flower pots.
