This video was one of the first videos I saw when I first got into ceramics. Watching him cut the pot in half at the end taught me something really valuable about mastering a craft. This man is happy to cut the pot in half because he is certain that he can make another in five minutes. It's not about making one perfect pot - it's about being able to make something perfect so easily that you can throw it away without a thought.

A year later... This comment is RIGHT on the money. I started carving spoons... 6 or 7 years ago... maybe longer... and to be honest, I've gotten to be pretty decently ok at it, through a ton of practice. That said, to this day, EVERY SINGLE TIME that I take a billet of green wood in one hand and my carving axe in the other, I wonder if I'll be able to end up with a decent spoon. And I've really only had a couple real failures, since I initially got the hang of it, but still... I wonder, every time. Being a master is not having to wonder.

As a former turner I can say I remember the moves. Watching him make the parts. The body, the handle the spout, and last the lid. Each piece has to do the job it's made to do. Work and be beautiful too. His clay is very stiff, it's takes a strong hand and arm. That he could put the top on the teapot and then remove it says the clay is not saturated. He cut the wall to show the even thickness. Much enjoyment to watch thank you.

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j You may not have noticed that English is the new Latin. Two hundred years ago you'd have expected the explanations to be in Latin, which was the lingua franca for science and culture. Today, though, everything gets published in English. Incidentally, it's the first time in my life I've been criticised for speaking only four languages. I usually get complimented on my mastery of English, but I've also learnt some French and fluent in Italian, apart of course from my mother tongue, Spanish. And I can understand or make educated guesses in Latin, but that comes from having read so much medieval history. I happen to know a few words or phrases in Japanese and can produce a rudimentary sentence or two, but learning enough of a language to follow a video like this one takes many years. Which you may know if you've studied a foreign language yourself. Creo que estás meando fuera del tarro, amigo.

Wow! A master at making tea pots! I would love to have one. I am 1/2 Japanese, so I know the importance of having a good tea pot; yet, he makes it look so simple to make; piece by piece! Amazing work!

As a carver this is the highlight of you tube. The privelidge of seeing a master. In our maori culture here in New Zealand/Aotearoa clay was not used as a medium for anything as the first human was made from clay. Thus the clay was deemed to be tapu(sacred) and set aside from use. This changed later and not all tribes share the same creation myths. Yes, amazing, beautiful work. Thank you for sharing this taonga(treasure).

After taking pottery in college, I gained an even greater awe and respect for this art. And this potter is freaking amazing. Holy crap that was insane to watch. The control, steady hands, the precision. It's perfect. And I have no idea (aside from experience) this man knew how big to make the lid. Also...the mere fact he didn't get a single friggen drop of clay on his clothing...shows how damn good he is. I didn't think it was possible to keep clean when throwing. 😳 Edit: I did notice the stick/tool he held over the top of both the pot and the lid when throwing...but still...he got it exact! Not to mention he only used said tool for mere seconds each time

This is why I choose to buy Japanese pottery vs American pottery. The Japanese have been crafting pottery for over 1000 years, and they simply cannot be beat in terms of quality, design, function, even their prices are better. The hill-side clothing store has a really great selection of Japanese endo pottery for very reasonable prices.

It takes a master craftsman to make something like this look so easy, and it really is as easy as it looks, but it takes years to understand how to do it the right way to make it that easy. If you have no clue about the physics and structure needed to make things work, it doesn't matter how easy it is, you're going to fail.

He used a tool to check the width at 10:53 (just slightly undersized, you can tell by the shadow of the tool on the lid) before he worked it downwards to finish it, and a final check at 11:20.

Taldaran... good spotting! Also his fingers and hands are tools and constantly measuring and the tools we see him use. Building with wood I often use random marks on the work surface when I only have to match or compare more than one pc, with the overall measurement being flexible. Im sure he does these to exact specs sometimes but he knew he was cutting this one so he just haf to make it even.
