I learned to make bonsai pots from your videos 3 years ago and since I sold many, thank you for your work. Your videos are getting better and better, I love that you are now narrating

Thank you very much for your support, it's very satisfying to know that you can inspire others. I hesitated for a long time before speaking in my videos, I was afraid that my accent would be boring (and perhaps incomprehensible). But I couldn't explain properly just with the image, now I can be much precise in my explanations.

@Greg-ceramics i remember you were shy with it. It's very good that you overcame it bc your accent is your gift. It adds to the personality of the video so much, I really like the accent. I also have an accent, Polish one, and many people comment how much they like it

Love your accent! I only recently found your channel, but it’s by far my favorite. Your explanations are so clear and precise, and your work is simply awesome. My first two pots went into bisque firing today!! 😊
I just found this channel, I love it and will be watching all of the videos. Well done!

Thanks and welcome ! 👍
…… again, another awesome video, thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Again beautiful work. I like the ´frenglish´ accent too. You have inspired me a couple of years ago to make bonsai pottery myself as I learned a lot from your videos. Can´t wait to see your pots on the trophy next week and see the artist in person. Greetings from Belgium.
Great video! So nice to hear that great accent. All this time we didn't know you are French. Not that it matters, just enjoyable. You are such an inspiration. Thank you...

Thank you, it took me a long time to decide to make "talking" videos, but I was too limited with video only! I crossed my fingers that it remains understandable!
I hope your videos will never end. This is sooooo informativ and relaxing to watch. i like your channel very much.

Thank you so much. I also hope to be able to continue for a long time. Sometimes I'm a little discouraged, because the views aren't really there compared to the work it requires of me. But for the moment I believe in it, the work will pay off in the end! This one is off to a good start, which is encouraging.
Great video with great tips! The pots are beautiful! Even the carving in the groggy clay gives them a special character. I really need to practice more precision. I tend to be a little hasty in my process, which results in less perfection. But precision can also be more time consuming, and time is a precious commodity of which I have little. I'm going to try your second assembly method. thank you for sharing!
Encantado del trabajo que haces maravilla de masetas esta buscando como iniciar y me emociona los buenos trabajos y lo facil que lo explicas
Wonderful! I loved when Stone Monkey talked on his video once. Learned SO much more that way.
I really appreciate how refined your technique is in both clay and movement utilizing
Nice one my friend

As I'm used to, my cuts and assembly are quite precise, so I almost always do the first method. But sometimes I do the 2nd method and cut the background later, when I'm making complex shapes.

Au cas où, les sous-titres français sont disponibles. ;) Ceci dit, je n'ai jamais fait de vidéo en français, mes vidéos ont toujours été en anglais. La seule différence, c'est que sur les vidéos plus anciennes, je ne parlais pas du tout (ni français, ni anglais).
