Can you give a tip of the name of clay you use and does it have grog

Hey Simon! Great video as always and the “kicking” music in the background. Best wishes 😀

I am so happy you say, "no sponge", I was wondering if I needed to learn to use one. The few times I tried; it was a mess. Of course I am still learning. Now I would love to know the name of the band playing in the background in the beginning, lol.

Simon thank you so much for the knowledge ___ I learned literally everything i know from these I plan on getting a zoom class just to thank you

thanks millions for this

Ha! We have the same tent. Have some dowel rods handy. Great tent but I t will slump soon.

I am coming up for your August workshop. I can’t wait, sir!

The Making is more important than the Kiln. Without the Potter the Kiln becomes nullified

Thank you Simon! It was very helpful to see you throwing straight on instead of the side ❤😊

Up your skills...no sponge..great chap

Shots fired on sponge throwers lol!!! But as a sponge thrower thanks, I really needed to hear that 🤣

New to pottery and really enjoying your videos. Was able to make 3 saucers yesterday thanks to you! Very much enjoying that you speak Spanish 🫶🏻 A workshop with you now on my list!

I feel so called out haha 😂 I'm a sponge puller. It feels weird to me to use my fingertips because I'm double-jointed 😅

Love the wisdom you share

Love you so very much! I have many pots from many different potters and yours are definitely my favorite to use daily! Light, elegant yet earthy and fun ! Thank you for the inspiration and lessons on here!

Really loving these recent videos,anouther great one ,ty 👍

Simon I have been watching you since Spain. It's been off an on through the years. I just want to say thank you.

I started to throw with a sponge at school, but soon dispensed with it, found it more of a hindrance than a help, Wish we could still buy decent treadle wheels in the uk, sadly we have to make do with electric wheels, less control..

That was so funny, I had exactly the same experience, I wish I'd watched your video before I bought one.😊

EVER TIME YOU PUT PRESURE THERE SOMETHING RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL IT NOT A BELT PROBLEM REMOVE THE WHEEL FROM THE MOTOR SHALF AND SEE WHAT RUBBING

What is the purpose of the vinegar? Thanks!

I'm new to pottery and really enjoy your videos. I also found a book called "A Potter's Book" by a gentleman named Bernard Leach. Might you and he be related?

I learned soooo much from you, thank you. I consider you my teacher in pottery as a self-taught potter. Sensei🫡🙌

I learned basic pottery from one of your students (Lorna). I have my student pieces all over the house serving us well.

I'm impressed! You actually got the vase thrown without burning up the motor.

Thanks Simon for sharing a bit more of your pottery wisdom, I like the flat bottom plates and was going to try it out, but I have followed your example and have been trimming mine with a foot, and I haven’t had problems with them cracking, so I’ll keep following your advice.

Great video, Simon! Do you throw these on a bat? I would love a video of that process. I’ve seen you lift plates directly from the wheelhead but I don’t have that skill (yet!).

hello Simon , do you have a plate throwing tutorial ?

Were getting spoiled with these regular uploads

Great job,,

The freedom of not chasing the RU-vid cash, play what you like, who cares, cheers

What are listening to Simon?

Thank you. I needed a bit of Simon Leach today. 😊

How long do you stay in reduction? I’m considering converting an old kiln, but I also worry about how long I’ll have to babysit the kiln for each firing.

Hey Simon, Thank you for your advices. If I have different types of Clay- may I put them in the same bucket? Greatings from Germany

Thanks for the advice

I have loads of clay to recycle but, it has to be done 😊

Thanks for this. I’ve got a question. I have 2 blocks of clay in the original bags that, by an extraordinary feat of procrastination, I’ve let dry out completely in my garage. Would this work on a block of clay? Should I take a hammer to it and try and break it down first? Or should I just put it in the bin. I hate to throw it away. It’s good clay. Any advise is appropriated.

16 years ago 😱 Awesome!

Sign of the times, its the same here in the UK, not many tourists here in the city of York this year, we are/ in pre2020 days packed out with tourists, not a lot of spare money about anymore to splash out on things like handmade crafts sadly 😢

My son sure learned a lot during your work shop, he was very happy with his experience.

I am 4 hrs away in NJ...like to come out ....any one from south jersey like to hitch along?

Cheers...

Absolutely love the unpacking🎉🎉

That is so awesome 👍😎!!!

Good job👌

Looks excellent my friend

Steel sharpens steel, pots smooth pots. Thank you Simon! Great to see you.

The wheel will keep turning in the old way.

Thank you Simon for sharing
