SIMON LEACH POTTERY ~ Throwing drinking cups up close !

[spiritjourneypots]

I really appreciate that you left your throwing marks in your tea bowls. So many potters strive to rid their pots of that signature which is entirely unique to them. I understand that not every pot needs to have that look, and that not every potter likes it, but to me, it's so natural and earthy and "friendly". While a lot of my pottery has clean lines and are smooth, the ones I like best are not as pretentious. Also, I have a few mugs without handles that I simply call tumblers. :)

So strange to see you on an electric wheel! It looks identical to mine, but we are just so accustomed to you,throwing on your other wheel. As always, thank you for sharing,.

Hola Simon,amasar,pesar,centrar,sub­ir,no es problema para mi.La mayor dificultad la tengo en dos puntos:el grueso del fondo y el diámetro en la altura media de la pieza que puede ser mayor o menor según tires.Seguramente me contestarás que siga practicando y eso voy a hacer.Gracias por tu video.Un abrazo.

Hi Simon.. a nice angle would also be if we could look over your shoulder sort of speak..

so we could see the inside of what you're throwing :-) just an idea ...

keep filming!

I really like this camera angle and hope to see more of it. Thanks so much!

Simon, I like this view -it really shows how you form the pot. I realize it's necessary to get more of my fingers involved in controlling the clay while lifting etc, so seeing up close how you go about it is very informational. Thanks

My fingers mostly get in the way of each other...or so it seems!

Very much like the camera angle and remarks!

Simon, Like the camera angle, shows a better view on how you create your cups.

Hi Simon

With reference to wobbly rims my friend calls them beautiful imperfections.

weight would be real helpful. :)  I know you give allot but that would be great.

[Nokturnalx1]

@Lizardatsparks looks like 1.5lbs

[sleachpots]

@Nokturnalx1 weight was 12oz ...looks more maybe because of the closeness of the camera to the clay !

[sleachpots]

@Lizardatsparks 12 oz !

[Lizardatsparks]

@sleachpots Thanks so much :)

Simon, ever thought of writing out the weight of the clay in the description box? i think it would help people copy what you are doing.

[meredithpottery]

I love that, Simon..."just let the pot grow out of the wheel head". I will aspire to that as my pots are over scrutinized...if you know what I mean?

Thanks so much, as always.

always fun the tea bowl or small little drinking vessels of sorts, camera angle made for quite an interesting perspective as well

[kasperx01]
