Mr. Leach, I began to learn the art of throwing about a month ago. I spent 10 hours throwing today and had a fantastic day of learning. Thank you for your encouraging words that will serve as an inspiration on my bad days. Thanks again!

Simon,
Thanks so much for this and all your videos. I had not thrown anything in 5 years (too busy raising 2 beautiful children and no $ for pottery), but recently acquired a used electric wheel. It was so very intimidating to sit down in front of that first lump of clay. But, thanks to your videos, I am on an "up"!
Thanks again for your demos and encouragement.

I needed this...;-)

This was a very encouraging clip. You think you are the only one going down some times. You are very generous to share this with us. It is good to understand that this happens to every one, even you. Thank you

You are a very thoughtful person as well as being very helpful and encouraging to potters.
I am retired and started classes in 2007. I can only say I love it and wish I had started years ago. I am lousy on the wheel but love handbuilding so that is what I concentrate on.
Thanks for all your great videos.

My most difficult down came after my pottery sale. It was very difficult to have people critique my work or leave without buying anything :( It's a humiliating experience packing up unsold pottery. It's tough to go back to the studio the next day and feel good about throwing pots.
