Ex-forger, Shaun Greenhalgh, is set the task of making a Renaissance animal plate of the type invented by the great French potter, Bernard Palissy. Palissy's plates are alive with writhing reptiles, but for Shaun, killing grass snakes in Lancashire is not an option.

I can watch these videos on repeat for the rest of my life. I don't know how I found these. Scratch that, I'm so glad these videos found me.

[@bawbtherevelator6445]

I found this man a few years back and got sidetracked by other stuff not limited to but including the Pittsburgh Steelers. Should have put THEM on KZbin lol

[@beirut909]

Palissy was a genius. So pleased to see such a thoughtful and entertaining programme about his technique. Love these episodes. Keep up the good work, Perspective.

[@toniomalley5661]

So glad this talented man has got to show us his skills a true artist

[@queenofzenk]

💜 you know an artist when theyre showing something beautiful and cant help but point out all its flaws

[@meganefields]

This is such a fantastic series. I could watch Shaun work all day.

[@cobmal6278]

been a delight seeing recreations of fantastic art pieces.

[@NansRam1]

Just beautiful. Reminds me of my pottery class and the vase I made decorated with all kinds of caterpillars. I love this show.

[@StephiSensei26]

Now I know what to do with my pet turtles in the future. Instead of flushing them, I'll just make a Palissy Plate! Very Cool!

[@michaelburgess9707]

What a talented man. I like his version even more than the Palissy. I tried to look him up on line to make a purchase to no avail. Thanks for this, loved it.

[@cm9439]

She's painful to watch, but it's effortless and fascinating to see Shaun recreate anything. He's incredibly talented, and I'm glad he saw the error of his ways. There's so much irony here that I can't stand it.

[@UNUSUALUSERNAME220]

Yes. Too much. I'm sure she's quite knowledgeable, but if I was a student of hers I would need lots of time away from her to recharge for another lecture. Way over the top. And he's so understated and subdued. I do like this series though, I have learned to skip through the bits with her. He's just too clever and intelligent, it's fascinating to watch him.

Put cool Water in a bowl, then shake the plaster into the water, until a dry mound in the center covers 50% of the surface area. Let that all slake until wet, then stir gently. This will avoid lots of lumps.

[@Mother_Lover]

this dude is legit

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

Nice studio! And Sean really knows his stuff. Does he have his own youtube channel? He must teach.

[@queenofzenk]

When i saw these in the other doc, i was hoping and praying youd talk about the plates!!

[@euggiemonad2523]

I couldn't help but think of George Ohr, the Biloxi potter of the 19th century, who like Palissy, turned out extraordinary things, disquieting and inventive, with little practical utility. Paul Gaugin's mother's pre-Columbian styled pottery also comes to mind. It was dismissed as barbaric, just as George Ohr was and Palissy must've been.

[@guttormurthorfinnsson8758]

love those to gether showin how old art wase done. more plese.

[@lindatshappat4973]

I have a Palissy lobster plate from Portugal . I wish I knew where to sell it to those who appreciate it's value.

[@skulptor]

Take Tubby out and it would be a great programme. Saun puts the others in the shade.

[@dsantamaria713]

What really cracks me up is how all these so called Art People we're fooled..lol Hey, if I could have an original of one of his forged pieces, I would be thrilled! His work is magnificent!

[@TheLifeOfRoss]

GREAT VIDEOS!!!

[@JCO2002]

Excellent, thanks.

[@majdavojnikovic]

That watch soaked in the bucket with clay ... Must be painful for some men :)

[@mydigitallife8311]

[@jackmundo4043]

[@joseffinat966]

Waldemar jij bent onmogelijk 😮‍💨 zie je al wij lopen nu al vast ,als ik denk nu komt het dichterbij ,laat jij mij nog steeds spartelen en is vandaag ook nog een schitterende dag, wat moet ik met jou aanvangen ?????? 😩 Afz hopeloos 😵‍💫👈😲

[@barrycrump6189]

Strangely enough, I am in the UK and I am still able to watch this video in my mate's house.

[@dr.johnpaladinshow9747]

Dr. Ramirez is so genuinely inauthentic.... & fakey effusive. Yet, Waldemar is so real. Weird.

[@OstblockLatina]

I understand why he couldn't have used real dead animals for the molds nor the lead glaze, but the difference in shapes and colours was very painfully noticable. Especially when you put the fake plate right next to that astonishing Palissy piece. I really didn't like especially how the colour combination in the forged plate turned out - a motley of shallow, artificial colors.

[@davidson-mielellc980]

Interesting, but the glaze it terrible.

[@esthershin9690]

I can’t believe he used real animals. Oi

[@ritakonig1891]

Funny that everyone on here speaks about real artist... when I saw how sloppy the glaze was put on and how badly the snake mold was made, I thought that this is a bit of a show to amuse us. I like Palissy just as I like Ardmore ceramic pieces... all over the top work. But the result seemed to be made by someone else... 😂

[@beritbranch2436]

:)

[@tamaragerasimova2405]

As a protestant,Palissi could not accept Madonna or saints .
