You cannot buy a DVD. The original source was on tape, recorded in Australia in the mid 60's. I converted the tape to a dvd on my computer.

Where can I buy a DVD of this?

Love the way he lifts the bowl at the end with 2 sticks of bamboo

[perrypotteryartist]

Yes, a great find!

[perrypotteryartist]

Always a pleasure to see how a master works.

more please!! :)

[mbqna]

This whole film please.

[Redshift21]

I really wish the whole thing could be viewed, it's wonderful to see even this brief clip of such an amazing potter.

Thanks so much for sharing. This was such a treat! Anyone interested would very much enjoy the Shoji Hamada, A Potter's Way and Work by Susan Peterson. I read it years ago, but I think I am going to start re-reading it again to-night.

[sleachpots]

Yes again please give us more of Hamada ! SL

isn;t it wonderful how this video is made in the 60s, but it might as well been made yesterday. Working with clay is timeless...

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I just noticed it down on Simons Leaches favorites lists, Wow what agreat video.

My husband and I tried to make a wheel like this one. It works, but not this well won't spin as long. Sure is different too, takes alot of skill and whole new methods.

Thanks again!

[samkellystudio]

Sitting to throw would be impossible for me.

[DASRAY]

It's more like squating Indian style even on a stool.

I did a Heritage fair for 9hrs last year it took weeks be for I could sit down without cringing!

I do find my self standing most of the time nowadays.

It's easier to teach at my Artisita, it's on a tall stand and my students sit on a tall stool. For larger projects I have a 1953 Skutt that we sit at.

Thanks again!

[perrypotteryartist]

Yes, it is a great find.

[cobaltcarbon8]

Wonderfull. What a great find. Any more where this came from?

Cheers, Andrew.

both the Hamada clips come from the one source, the last part is him turning the bottoms of the pots made, I can put it up but its not very exciting

[Emilyrox121]

Please put up the last part him turning the bottoms - the not very exciting is still interesting

[ToruFa]

I would find it very interesting to see him turning please put it up
