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

what clay body do you use?

@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...
