  • Over 300 videos and you do a video on cylinders. Only you would stress the importance of basics this far into 'lessons'. I think it's great you go back to basics often. Repetition and practice really is the key. BTW I took your advice on the GP bowls and instead of throwing 12, I threw 12x12. They sell very well in our store. Thanks again for all you do and all your efforts.

  • Lets always get the foundation RIGHT , then we'll make progress ! SL

  • Hello Simon!

    Perhaps wear a darker colored apron next go around. The beige apron makes it hard to make out the contours of the pot in the mirror because they are so close in color. An apron that is close in color to the wheel head may work best so that your camera's automatic aperture doesn't go too looney.

  • Thanks John - good tip . SL

  •  Hi Simon, first time that I see any of your videos. I really enjoy them. Clever idea the mirror. That way we can a have a look at two different angles at the same time.

  • Mr. Leach... thank you so very much for demonstrating how to "lift" a cylinder. I have been doing it wrong and can not wait until the morning to be able to try my new technique! I hope you and your family are well. Thank you again for being such a huge help to a small beginner in Michigan, USA. :)

  • Thank you so much!!!

  • Very helpful Simon thanks. keep up the good work.

  • Simon, thank you for showing us how to film above and at an angle that allows people to understand building the form. Your videos are loved by myself and my students. I tell them I love that I love your work, and they do too. From California,Calabasas. My video is how to make a heritage box.

  • Simon, If you are ever in Vancouver, BC, the UBC pottery club would LOVE to show you around our studio. So many of our members are big fans of yours and often gather around the studio talking about your latest video. Thank you so much!

  • These are among the most entertaining videos on YouTube. And I'm not a potter!
