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.

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

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)!!!

"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!

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