EARTHEN - part 5 - Pottery village - Mali West Africa

[candyjumper]

Hey, i've been there before i was accualy just there a couple weeks ago with my dads ngo :)

[78collector]

a beautiful film. I own three pots by your father. And the reaction of people when they see them for the first time is the same surprised admiration as in Mali. Yesterday I was in the Boymans van Beuningen Museum. For a exhibition of ceramics. In the showcases was one litlle vase by your father. I recognised it immediately. You made a good film. Tnx

[dreamingwaterwoman]

what is unbelievable is the mixing of clay and the intuitive brilliance it takes for firing in such conditions.

this film is (for myself-as a potter) touching and very artistic and beautiful, very well put together!!! make me miss home (Ghana)!!!

All 5 parts of EARTHEN are amazing. Fantastic work.

"the lines as a meandering river": stunningly poetic about the beautiful piece you gifted to them. you are a phenomenal filmmaker. your talent plus your intuition (the gentleness and kindness) breeds such brilliantly moving work! i am amongst one of the many who feels inspired after watching this!

[tomswindell]

I'm glad you love the vid, but I pronounced 'meandering' wrong, I'm not normally in front of the camera. opps

[thebluemoonriver]

you are extraordinary behind the camera but i hope you always have moments in front of the camera too!

[creebean]

you are very good tom, thankyou for the time and care you obviously take in making your films. your dads stuff is pretty good too!

[serotine9]

i think I'm going to cry...

The way you filmed the people, the children, the village, the river...

The way you chose the gift, it's so delicate.

Okay ,now I'm crying..

Thanks! :)

I was moved by your gentle gesture to the people of Segou. Fascinating to see how the village potters work their craft. To me, you showed the greatest respect when you & your father chose that particular piece qith the onion dome lid. You are a tender diplomat. Thank you for sharing your insight, sensitivity & travels.
