I am a potter and sculptor currently climbing the vertical learning curve. Your video, and your work, has my mind reeling- in a very good way!

Thank you for sharing. Your collection is beautiful!

Sir , thank you for valuable information. Though I have started collecting antique bone chin tea cups recently, I never had any knowledge of it . Beautiful explained.

Excellent presentation, Les!

Wonderful! The Worcester tea set is to die for.

Thank you. We have the blue Delft clock with wind mills.

What a brilliant story! Congratulations.

The best video I've watched on the subject. I'm a student and enthusiast of the world of ceramics and music. This video will help me with my projects. Congratulations!

Thank you so much for that video! It was surprisingly engaging and very well-structured. I feel like ie learned a lot.

thank you for the lovely video! which artist made the colorful instruments at 5:00 ? I looked up Paul Chenoweth, but it looks like he's made other instruments in your video.

Great video thank you. I bought a vase by Samson ❤

Thanks Les , a wonderful variety.

That was interesting and the clocks were beautiful. Thank you

Very informative and very clever skills in doing this work.

thank you :)

Amazing talent! Thank you from usa.

Thank you, nice video

nice melody!

Why the air-quotes around "musical instrument" when discussing the didgeridoo? Seems just as much an instrument as the rest of the ones here

Very informative & beautiful 😻

wonderful video! thank you for this

This is all so cool. I like the drum at the end

Amazing. I shared this video to Pinterest! Thank you!

Such interesting instruments

Ever seen a citric - lemons & oranges with green leaves cake stand?

in USA 1932 Fly ash was first collected from coal fire stations then mixed with cement to produce highgrade structural concrete. Fine ash particles fill out the tiny air pockets in concretes. Air 'bubbles' that compromise the structural integrity of concretes

This was very interesting viideo. Very creative

You are very knowledgeable on this subject. I enjoy your videos

The pottery is stunning. Thank you for this informative video!

Your video series on majolica is most educational and enjoyable. Thank you

Lovely video. Great information. Thanks

I also like ancient staff! We traveled in Peru last November and I was so impressed by Peruvian pottery, that I started making ceramics myself. In this video I show my first fish - shark: czcams.com/video/GcpB0Z6VMIQ/video.html

WONDERFUL !! THANK YOU.!!

Oh my goodness. Fabulous education. Thank you Sir.

Those urinals were fantastic! Thank you for putting these together!

Love the collection of images, fascinating!

Thank you for such an amazing and thorough video about the realationship between these creatures and the ceramic craft! I very much enjoyed so many different works from all ages and origins, most of which I hadnt seen before. Your narration also is very thoughtful and complements the imagery very well. I myself do a little pottery and have made some scaled sized sculptures of extinct animal species from my country Colombia and south america. One of the most satisfying and also challenging species to depict was the now famous Titanoboa, the largest snake ever known. Thankfully i didnt make it at a 1:1 scale, since it sould be a technical nightmare! anyway, I would like to share with you, should you be interested, some pictures of the actual sculpture, which is now in Chile. Regarding the depiction of the snake itself, i would add that besides from the cylindrical and sinous shape of these animals, one of their outstanding features for me is their skin, which ive had the opportunity to get acquainted with in real life. It would be impossible for me to sculpt the scales on the body of the snake with such a level of detail and fidelity, specially in the areas where the body twists and curls. After learning about the work of Palissy, and thinking about the biology of these creatures, I realised that one of the beatiful properties of working with clay is that it is such an adaptable material which copies in exact detail any surface it is pressed against.... now as we know, snakes shed their skins as they grow, so I figured that instead of uselessly trying to mimic nature in such detail, I could rather replicate the process of shedding the skin of a serpent by using a fruit mesh to cover the fresh clay as to make a more natural pattern and achieve higher realism on the surface of the sculpt. I found out this worked better than thought and finally I used some bronze key sheddings molten with transparent glaze on a second firing to achieve a metallic look on the color of the surface of the piece. It is still one of the best pieces i think ive made, mainly because the fact i was able to draw inspiration from a biological process to achieve a realistic result. Anyways, I hope you and more people find this insight useful, and i hope to keep watching more of your interesting an enlightening videos! Best regards,

I am really appreciating these brief pottery videos! Thank you for the history.

Fascinating

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I was watching the movie called Saltburn. Know I am here and this is way more intriguing. thanks!

Sir, this was an invaluable introduction to fine bone china. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! God bless you.

Very interesting compilation Les. I had never seen those Nigerian drums, they make a lovely sound. On the wind side, I have also seen flutes/whistles transverse and otherwise, open at the end of the length which are different from ocarinas.
