Yup, came here from Alex' video. This is an entirely new world to me, but it's always amazing to watch highly skilled artisans at work. On top of that, having a high-production video made about the process is just incredible and nothing to take for granted. There are most likely more skilled artisans out there who are also not good videographers (and why should they be really?) but here we have both. Thanks a lot. I might very well come back.

I'm about half way through this video. There is a lot of skill, care, and attention to detail is every minor step. I was under the impression that a lot of the cheaper ceramic bowls were made en masse in a factory using modern machinery. I'm not so sure that is the case anymore. I've always had an appreciation for the beauty of ceramics and that has only grown by seeing how they're made. Well done. Your years of experience have made you incredibly skilled in this beautiful craft.

Great collaboration. I was wondering, what if you did the straight bowl, but about 2cm from the top, you have a straight angle out/ or flair it out. This would mark the soup line, where soup ends and toppings would start. The flair would allow for toppings that are intended to stay dry longer to rest on. This would also work well for stews that needs condiments as that could rest on the flared out lip. For example a pot de feu where mustard could be dabbed on the edge for dipping.

I laughed out loud when you stacked the bowls upside down on top of each other to demonstrate the consistency of the work. It looks like you are expert in more than just manifesting beautiful pots.
