Simon, greetings from Russia. I'm one of your many students. You are my first and main teacher in pottery. Thank you for your generosity and openness, for the experience and knowledge that you give to students. I am glad that you have recovered and are working again. I hope to meet you in the future and greet you with a handshake.

Hi again from Japan, Simon. Good to see you healthy once again. The salad bowl idea is similar to the 'suribachi' we have here, although the entire inside is scored... usually for grinding things like seeds (sesame), and combining it with miso, etc.

In 2018 started out hand building… Enamored with the ancient pots… you know how KZbin😳is, one thing leads to another 🤷🏼♀️I stumbled on Simon… Had never thrown on a wheel, had no intentions…. After watching, i gotta try this… ha! Never would have had the success that I have now if it wasn’t for Simon … Was it video or book?… both … PLUS! November 2019 , flew out for a workshop which was a game changer… There are things you can’t get from videos… it’s those little things… A friend gave me the book… Last winter had zoom clay … couldn’t get the height… Kept burning through the bottom trying to pull up the walls… no longer a stumbling block! Going to zoom again this winter… Lidded jars are my battle cry, well fitted lids chiefly … hahaha, you asked!😂 so with all that said… I keep practicing 😉

Question for you SImon: when you throw a pot with a new design / concept (new paddle texture in this case) how many pots will you make of its kind? One? Ten? 50? I'm curious to know how large your 'first generation' of a new design typically is. Thanks for the video.

Hi Seth..that would depend how much I like the design. I will answer and say 10 and then see where that leads me, maybe some modification to the design, it’s a form that is changing in its early stages.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head. Came to see if anyone was running defense, then I got to thinking about how Simon's mental health is the very thing that allowed him to beat "x", of course, real fans know this as well, so there is but a wise response from the man himself. "Don't be Fearful" has kept me strong for about 2 years now. Knowing Stress is one of the, I think top 3 co-morbidities, not allowing the fear to stress you out is so very important. I wonder if looking in peepholes at 2100F helps with Vitamin D too!🤣 I've had a number one customer threaten to break all my pots over political BS. I kept my faith and we remain friends. It's comforting to know one can always find a friend by finding a Leach taught pot! God Bless.
