SIMON LEACH - How to handle pitchers & pouring lip talk !!

[Potzypot]

Seems like a great tip to carve the pouring lip a little bit. I will try it!

I used to watch your clips a while back before you moved to the US, and I always liked them. But sincerely, I almost don't recognize you now with your beard. You look a bit like a "caveman" to me. I guess I just have to get used to the new look ?

Anyway - great video, and it's great that you try so hard - and succeed as well - to make your demonstrations come out good in the video.

Greetings from Sweden :-)

Hi Simon,

The first time we met you, you gave a master class in pulling handles. I think that was 2007 at Lowerdown? I have learnt much since then, and your advice was crucial to that learning. I have learnt that the handle on a pot can be as much a signature as a seal to the base. They way the handle is applied and finished can help me to attribute a pot.

Keep the clips coming please. They are 100% appreciated

Regards

James

Your handles are actually a hybrid of what I have seen in the states and I really like it.

Simon, you mentioned that you could use a camera man.

Have you considered connecting a televison to the output of your camera while you are filming ?

I don't know what camera you use, but the video camera I have allows me to connect an output to a television. This means that I can monitor what the camera tapes while I am actually filming.

Maybe you could get a small cheap televison from a junk shop or something ?

Just a suggestion.

It works! I have experimented with a past instructional video of yours and it does indeed improve the drip problem. I've found the abcense of glaze just on that spot helps tremendously. Have a great 4th of July in Barryville!! BFN

I watched this clip with my husband. When you got to the part when you showed the little tail and then "off with it", John looked at me, raised his eyebrows and said.. "This guy is cool". LOL. I think you have a new fan :)

I appreciate the instruction and explanation on the spout.  It makes total sense.

Thanks for the great clip.

:) Cindy & John

@DirtKickerStudio that was indeed the coolest thing i think i've ever seen. I can just imagine me trying that and ending up with very different results...
