Repetition is my teacher, too. Simon Leach showed me how and I have been learning about form ever since. Even though I had already been making pots for 40 years! Thank you for this lovely video.

One of my favorite of the masterclass videos. Chris' communication style is great

I love your videos, thank you for doing them but do wish you would have more time at the end of each video showing more of the potter's/artist's completed works.

Where are the finished work in these videos? They are beautiful and well made, but we do not see the completed objects.

[@extraSPARErib]

Teri Spadafora yes, a few videos show the end result but mostly these videos show the creative process ... I too would like to see the end result ... kind of the why behind the watch

Hi Teri, thanks for the feedback - in all our more recent videos, we now make sure to show the finished objects. We hope you enjoy them!

[@CeramicReviewmagazine]
