Ancient Pottery Challenge - Journey Across the Southern Southwest

To kick off season 4 of Ancient Pottery I took a road trip across the southern Southwest. Along the way I stopped in seven places to talk about the ancient people who used to live there and the pottery they made. During the course of this season I will recreate these 7 pots and you can make them too, then upload the pic to Instagram with the hashtag #ancientpotterychallenge to share with us all. At the end of the season I will share everyone's pots here. Welcome to season 4, now get started on those pots!
