I think Hans Coper is up there and might surpass him as to originality.

what is the music in this video?

[lantarla]

I believe it is "Ase's death", from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt suites.

Hey Simon, I think you both have a similar head movement when you throw. Thats pretty neat.

[PaisleyPlace]

lewee: I was thinking that exact same thing. It must be hereditary or something. :)

It really was a beautiful pot. I hope it is put away somewhere safe, perhaps in the Leach Museum.

ou are right! Simon shares the tick! Many potters tick, they just aren't captured on video

@Lisanab No its a speed-eye technique. I practice martial arts, and practice using my eyes by focusing fast object and reacting goodly. His eyes are scanning the fast movements of the clay, to see if there is one line out of place. Its a crazy technique!!
