Thanks for taking so much time and efforts to introduce all these techniques and philosophy to us potters and normal people!!! Sharing knowledge is so important…!

Excellent video and a great tutorial on pot making. I always enjoy videos like this, as they're almost like 'making of' videos or 'behind the scenes'.

Thank you! Will do!

Very interesting/simple technique with the knife, I will be trying it out myself with one of my next textured pots!

I love your diverse and creative thought lines my friend, but also, however random the pot appears, the pure attention to detail in each and every piece you produce.

My pleasure!

Just found your channel - so enjoyable watching, listening and learning. Thank you for passing along your creative spirit/soul and techniques. I too use scraps and off cuts to make right at the time - I'm not too thrilled about the reclaim process so my goal is to use up everything right at the time in the moment.

I'll be taking it to the Swindon Winter Image Show on Sunday 11th FEB. Thanks for your kind comments.

I am just starting making bonsai pots… thank you, Dansai, for making such fascinating videos! Can you possibly leave a link to that Japanese texture episode you gained inspiration from? ❤❤

I'm very sorry but I've tried several times to find his post on youtube but without success. thanks for your kind comments.

I wonder if the relief could be done in a lighter-colored clay by layering and carving through somehow, perhaps, just to make the patterns pop a bit, or something more ostentatious or trippy.

Changes to the appearance of the pot occur when I glaze it.

👍👌🙂

Sitting here in wonder just watching you producing your pots for the forthcoming show which should be a great success. I would like to ask you a couple of questions if I may, have you ever made a pot and after it is finished you don’t like it and have to start again or scrap it, 2nd question some of your earlier pots have two dents on the rim which I assume are made with your thumbs I have one with them on the rim what was your reasoning for putting them there, did they serve a purpose or just decorative. Regards Joe

The answer to 1st question is No - I always manage to make pots to my liking and I've made several thousand. 2nd question - the indentations on some of my 'primitive' pots is to bring variation to the rim for aesthetic enhancement.

Love your work. Would you tell me what clay you use?
