www.simonleachceramics.com ... Perhaps I feel that the fluted decoration I did on the top might not be in harmony with the vertical flutes ...kind of overdone , too much going on ..SL ( criticise your own work ! )

  • I have been throwing since 1974 and every day I seem to learn something or relearn something I should not have forgotten. In the pre-Internet days we slowly picked up knowledge from other potters. I was lucky enough to spend some time with Micheal Cardew in a workshop setting. That was a special week that I will not forget. I was also lucky to have helped build 5 kilns back then. We did wood firing and salt in 2 of them and the others were for reduction gas firing and biscuit. Keep exploring

  • I'm not able to throw as often during the winter, so the 2 years has been accomplished by bits and pieces of time. I still love it and wish I could do all day everyday!!!! After time, I have noticed I'm still learning new things by watching the same videos...something I wasn't ready to grasp at the very beginning stages. Just love it really :) !

  • How far have you come in 2 years? do you still love it as much as you use to? have a great day

  • simon love all your videos... just started watching them a couple weeks ago, and it's going to take a little while to catch up! Thanks a lot... and I will keep practicing!

  • You post brings back warm memories of two years ago! I've never had an official class and learned from watching Simon's videos (as well as others). He is so easy to understand and you can really see how to do it. Then it's just trying to get your hands to do the same thing!

  • Nice video and Rob did some good camera work there.

  • Now you have a professional videographer on your staff........for a week. Nice job as always. I was at a gallery today and made sure that they watched your videos. They were begging for large pieces because small pieces just are not selling, even at very low prices. Kind of discouraging.

  • I am beggining next week for the 1st time I ordered my wheel and kiln. I want to say thanks, your videos are great and are very inspiring

  • Simon have you ever tried stretching out an old spring and creating flutes with it when you cut off sides of the pot using it like a cut off wire? I have been using them stretched between bamboo shaped like a tea pot handle. I have also been experimenting with the flutes cut in this manner alternating with a faceted portion of the same overall width around a pot.

  • Great Simon. Now I have to go break a hacksaw! Looks like you burnished the lid before fluting. Will this be raw glazed?
