@purple rane yep! That's exactly what I mean ... Simon Leach is a generous teacher ... On all levels ...his creations ...egg cups ...vases... bowls... potter's wheel design.. decorating techniques... kiln designs and alterations... firing schedules... etc... all so generous
@@liliannapaxton We speak different languages, but the words you said about Simon sound in my heart without translation. Simon opened to me an amazing, incredible and beautiful world of ceramics.
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.
So nice to see you’re well again. Love the ideas for home made texture. The bottle cap spinner is great, I’m going to try making one! Cheers from Maryland in the United States!
So many great ideas packed in this one video! I LOVE the salad dressing bowl - you can probably zest a lemon or lime in there for dressing as well. Can't wait to try that one!
Wow! Glad you’re back on the HealingWheel (: CHEERS to 100% WELL! Cool ideas… per usual…thank you! Oh yes, received the box (: thanks again! PS! If anyone out there is vacillating on buying Simon’s tools… BUY the tools or make the tools, whatever … Simon takes the struggle out of making good pots! AHHH The JOY of MAKING POTS! 💫 I’ll be over here on The Island practicing✨
In 2018 started out hand building… Enamored with the ancient pots… you know how RU-vid😳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 😉
I'm so glad you are back on your healing wheel ! I think it has healing powers and get distressed if I can't have a throw every few days :) Stay well x
Hey my friend, I thought you had to be under the wether. Only because I have watched you for a long time and your almost never gone off line for this amount of time. Glad your better Simon. eddie.
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.
@@sleachpots I think so Simon. I have Covid now and in bed watching all your lovely videos and worrying about the last 100 pieces of an 800 piece order, so hoping doesn't take so long to recover.
@@nicolagillis4240 I found talking ‘andrographis paniculata’ to be very helpful.Also recommended officially by the government of Thailand as a therapeutic for COVID. Take it easy when you think you are better, and build back strength and stamina gradually.
Gerard if I own a rifle ( for my personal use, target or hunting ) is that a crime ? …you make it sound as such ? Not a pottery related question ! My life, my rules ..sorry !
It’s called COVID, I am beyond disappointed that you won’t admit that and I will be smashing any pottery I have purchased and I have unsubscribed. I know you didn’t believe in all this I just hope you didn’t get someone else sick
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.
Yep political BS, that’s what it is, control freaks ! Thanks for your comment, we shall stand against the tyranny. I am hoping and praying that America wakes up to what is going on. Blessings.
