Watch Ralph Kimiksana make a lamp out of clay: Please choose a video format: |
People used to make oil lamps[from] clay. They made it just like rock.
They mixed it with sand and water, lots of water, and mix it and keep
checking it…When it's all the same, then you mix the bark in and
then you mix it till the whole thing gets black. Then you put some oil
in it and mix it again.
