Biography - Jim Malone was born in Sheffield in 1946. After the death of his father, his mother moved the family back to her native Wales. Malone went to train as a teacher in Bangor in 1966 and then accepted a teaching post at a school in Essex in 1969. He continued with his childhood love of drawing and after 3 years of teaching had a portfolio substantial enough to gain him a place at Camberwell School of Art.
Malone has had articles published in Pottery Quarterly and Ceramic Review and has exhibited widely throughout the UK and USA. His pots can be found in the collections of the V&A; Ulster Museum, Ireland; Manchester Metropolitan University; Liverpool Museum and Art Gallery to name but a few.

[@igorvkuznetsov3518]

Jim is a wonderful potter - his work are natural deriving from fundamental simplicity of life pleasures :)

[@Damupotmaker]

[@hojoinhisarcher]

Wow,I haven't looked into Leach type ethic since school in the 70's Thank you.I am checking out the extensive Goldmark site.

[@janecollette9504]

Thank you for sharing this inspiring film about your life with us. I really enjoyed learning about your philosophy and techniques. It has given me a fresh way of looking at creating my pottery, thank you.

[@zhpottery]

Fantastic views on the work ethic and attitude directed towards making pots. Thanks for the upload and awesome filming.

[@LloydCeramics]

Just wonderful thank you.

[@pjamesbda]

"Things" can be made quickly. Conversely, art can't be too concerned with the time, or the expense. So, it isn't a reach to connect art with simple living - because when time ceases to be money, it can be so much more than money. 10:10 "...but Thatcher stopped all that."

[@sciencestudyopy9304]

Nice work

[@RedFoxPottery]

Very inspiring to watch and changed my mind on the decoration he uses, unfortunately being a young potter there aren't the resources to buy such amazing pieces.

[@credenza1]

Thanks. Great filmmaking.

[@yakimonomaker]

jim you rock ! great video / short film ! cheers !

[@indiequas]

the amount of grog in that is something else.

[@jaysonlawfer6562]

What a great soul...

[@Blessings.429]

Have you thought about doing a positive and negative range ie: brown glaze with white slip motif back and front then doing the next pot in the White glaze with the brown slip motifs. Displaying them together like ying and yang. Love your work

[@crazyoldhippieguy]

cool,spoken like a true potter ,how did maggie put a stop to the back to the land movement over there?

[@patrickbass3542]

Is he "candling" the ware with the wood fire or producing ashe? Why isn't the ash contributed while the glazes are molten?

[@notawuss]

Very illuminating, but I disagree about one point. Glaze does count. I've seen--I've done myself--many good pots ruined with bad glazes. You may never improve a pot off the wheel, you can certainly spoil it.

[@samhaberman]

Anybody know the song at the end?

[@pledgetothewake8557]

i think what he was trying to say was learn about all the glazes you go through and use it for what it is and that there is no one perfect holy grail glaze.

[@Pre-digga]

dankeschön

[@Ппцомг]

Интересно что он клеит на дно вазы когда ставит её в печку 14:05 ?

[@igorvkuznetsov3518]

16:16 Nice - Lady Friend ... before firing the ritual are very important :) Russians are "sitting for a while" before they are taking any unknown venture ....:)

[@mariorossi9655]

"Margaret Thatcher tried to stop that" She's become a scapegoat for absolutely everything.

[@leodavis6901]

Watch Michael casson he will teach you about thickness

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

Rubbish...far far better on KZbin.
