@@sleachpots Well, I certainly understand how that goes. Great to see you. I hope we will see much more of you now.🌷🙂🌷🌷

Breaks keep you going. Welcome back

Welcome back Simon! I was wondering what was missing in life this winter, till I saw this video today, and realised it was your reassuring teachings, voice and persistence to keep practising! You may not have any idea what gems of wisdom you impart doing simple repetitive things like throwing a tankard! I have watched so many videos of the same tankard being thrown over the years, and somehow i keep learning something new! Thanks once again for inspiring always! warm regards from India 🙂

Welcome !

Please keep doing these Simon, I am a beginner potter, who is really enjoying making mugs and bowls, largely inspired by you. I have taken my level from zero to not bad by watching your videos, especially with tips you give, like keeping the clay lubricated I can now do an even pull, quite consistently. All the best and thanks from the good old UK.

Good to see you Simon. That new camera angle works great, I like it. I said it before I'll say it again, consider doing a series with "Master Class." Best!

So glad to see you Simon.

Thank you for the video. So good to hear your voice and suggestions. About re-rounding the top of mug with a yoghurt container - I was surprised at how briefly you leave the container in mugs.

Welcome back, Simon!

Thanks just another ‘off the cuff’ video, always something to learn eh !

I've been checking every day to see if you've put another video up - so glad to see you're back in the pottery at last. If I'm making something new I usually try to make three and then pick the best - normally there are several failures along the way but I haven't quite got up to the 33 that you suggest making yet!

That's funny, I bought a new wheel but then decided to renovate my house too, I also have mallet finger so jot sure how it will go with the clay. I'm very keen to get back on the wheel. Great to see you Simon.

During most Simon Leach interregna I'm left jonesing for the next fix. Not this time. Vermiculture has consumed me. That doesn't mean it's not great to have another installment! BTW, the collar serves another function: The positive draft makes picking up the tankard by the top much more secure. I know this...I do it 10-20 times a day. :)
