  • Roll up your sleeves and put on your smocks folks, I’m fired up about this one! Let's make some handmade bowls and plates with Local Legend, Jono Pandolfi - aka the man behind the dinnerware at some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.
    Last April we spent the day with Jono in his light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey. No, we did not recreate the scene from Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore BUT we did create a new Limited Edition BRAD LEONE X JPD CEREAL BOWL! and ohhh boy is it pretty.
    Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed learning the ways of the clay. The jig. The wheel. The feel. The mold. The bowls, Kilns, Rollers, Racks, and only a couplah cracks along the way...
    Get your Limited Edition Brad x JPD LOCAL LEGENDS cereal bowl, complete with custom back stamp, in Toasted clay and Moss glaze: www.jonopandolfi.com/products...

    Jono seems like a great boss. I get the feeling he not only enjoys his job but enjoys his staff. He gave off a vibe of someone whose in it for the love of the craft.
    Cheers Brad for shining a light on the the people we should be idolizing.

      @Pt0wN973b0iI Před 8 měsíci +3

      We should NEVER idolize other human beings! As we are all here for the same goal, with this brief life we have. To get away from the mind and body. This body is not ours, it was only given it to us, to hold the soul.
      We come from soil ( food ), we go back to soil. The best thing we can do is improve our own self, not for anyone but our selfs. That way, we will be pleasant while with others. Improving one self, is how we change the world. For the better!

      He does seem super fun, like in a chaotic and occasionally stressed-out-but-not-aggressive way. On the other hand, he's giving me strong Hugo Weaving vibes. Agent Smith? Tick? Can't tell. 🤔

      I love how when he tried to get all the excess of the clay and he had to cut off a little more, he said his employee Shauna would have done it in 1 try. That was really cool to see and speaks to his character

  • @alexsomerslahr8359
    @alexsomerslahr8359 Před 8 měsíci +4

    I recall that at some restaurant somewhere I turned over the plate specifically because I noticed how beautiful it was. (I’m a budding potter so this wasn’t too surprising, but I don’t do this often). When I looked Jono up and saw he was from my home state of NJ, I was so excited!! Thanks for making this video!
    Also, Brad- after you showed a fermentation crock someone made for you in another episode, I made one for my bro-in-law! Thanks for the inspiration.
    (Thanks to Jono’s website I figured out that it was Talulla in Cambridge, MA.

  • @hogey989
    @hogey989 Před 8 měsíci +11

    There's a certain impression Jono gives off that reminds me of like, an old kung fu master from a movie. Really makes you feel he's just a master of his craft. The video being specifically about that probably helps.
    Also I definitely want to eat clay. It looks delicious.

  • @christophergarone6024

    Absolutely killing it w/ these LL eps, Brad. Love them and thank you for the great work. I was exposed to a bit of Jono's work through my affinity for his brother's band The Infamous Stringdusters. It's great to see and hear more of his story.

    @JaySay Před 8 měsíci +5

    I got into Ceramics and a few other art classes in high school, and always loved the hands on approach of creating something of both form and function. I was fortunate that the public school I went to had such amazing teachers for all of the art classes. They really cared about the students and about helping others learn. So many of the teachers I had growing up wanted us to be creative, and to do what we envisioned/wanted (to a degree,) not just following a curriculum or copying the teacher.
    Jono here, and all that he's done, is incredibly inspiring, and i'm so happy to see someone like him have such a carefree, humble, and down to earth personality!
    I know that there are many, many artists & creators like him, but there needs to be more people like him in the spotlight as inspirations for how to treat a career in the arts, and how to enjoy the creative and fun side to making.
    So happy that Brad was able to collab with such an amazing guy, and to go through a days work with him and the other great people on the team!
    Love the vids, Brad! ❤
    So happy to see you doing such a great show after BA.🤙
