Thank you so much for sharing this on UA-cam. Ben Carter is great!
i think you are a great teacher, you go into detail while you teach and that is a great teacher.thank you so much.those people walking around shouldn't bother anyone if there watching you and listening.great job.
Excellent demo. Ben Carter is a true scholar. Lots of interesting commentary. Loved his thoughts on the math involved in design planning. Thank you!
What a fabulous video. So much information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
Wow, this was so informative! You are a natural teacher. I’d love to take one of your workshops someday. I have saved this to watch a 2nd or 3rd time.
Would have liked this much much more if the camera had bee focused on what exactly his hands were doing and if the lady could have been kept out of camera range. Have noticed this on other of Orchard Valley videos as well.
Loved your discussion on sitting properly, I wish the wheel manufacturers would consult with you and stop making their wheels so low to the ground!
Thank you, learned lots from your video,
Do you publish your slip recipe please? I didn't catch all the ingredients and their ratios. Thanks in advance if someone can direct me to that.
Didn’t need to see the whole room, but would have been good to see the areas being worked. That said - teally good
thank you.. this is a good tutorial.
Man, I can't stand those people who just walk up behind him and start taking pictures of his stuff with their phones. At least wait until he's done. Rude!
Loved this. Hey @ 47:54 was that a flash of Hsin-Chuen Lin? I like his channel too.
Yeah, I spotted him too! There are a few potters I recognised here.
Wow so beautiful.
WAtching from Ronan!!
lol, the people standing behind him eating and perusing
"i rarely flocculate" .... you oughta have that checked out 😆
Where i can find you Ben ?
It's up to the organisers and the lecturer to set the standards, obviously this was not done however, as adults they SHOULD have behaved accordingly and shown more respect. A shame really, he has a lot of patience.
Alot of good i nfo ruined by alot of distractions !!!
What a bunch of rude class attendants.
He eludes to a podcast but he never says what the podcast is called. What is the podcast called???!!!!!!

Great presenter. Awful people walking into the frame!
it sounds like the entire class is being occasionally submerged in water
Who are the folks who have no respect for the presenter or the video audience? They are very distracting and are oblivious to the fact that they are taking away from Ben presentation. Ben Carter should have asked them to please take a seat!
Whoever is planning these, do something about all the traffic and having the instructor having to move here and there and people taking pics, moving behind, getting jackets, etc, it is highly disruptive and distracting. They need to go behind the viewers not the instructor. That may mean setting the room up differently. Whoever wants to take pictures, do so from behind and use your zoom. And people should not be coming and going in and out of camera view. Post a big poster - “we are filming, stay out of camera view, don’t walk behind instructor”. The other was the bizarre buzz and the muffled mic and talking in background. Other videos the same issue...setting up a room isn’t rocket science. Put him to wall so no one goes behind him and the back drop is blank. No one unless asked should be in front of the camera. Have a separate side table to return pieces to the table. Zoom in and out as needed either manually or by using a remote and a monitor. This isn’t new technology. And for gosh sake. Move the mic or use a different mic so he isn’t leaning into it or having it get covered up or folded up.
But a very good instructor but just too much distraction. It wasn’t discombobulated from him - it was the people. I couldn’t believe the people were getting right up in his face and you could see he would try to adjust so they could see but that isn’t what he needs to be doing. Just very rude people who haven’t been taught how to behave when something is being filmed. And that is the facility planning...the issue is they didn’t plan, haven’t acclimated people how to react and behave. I would assume these folks paid for the class. I believe I would have had to say something even nicely about taking a seat.
Maybe they should put a back drop up behind him and on the sides or as said, put him to the wall or those lockers, just something to force people to move where they need to. The ones coming up and taking pics right in his face, or the women who stood right there about part way through (black outfit, white shirt, sunglasses on top of her head, big bag, blond hair) what was she thinking...are these people so clueless they don’t know it’s being filmed. And then phones going off and that women acting like she was shopping. What was she doing. What rudeness! I can’t believe the instructor was so patient. I mean why didn’t someone hand her a piece of paper, SIT DOWN, MOVE OUT OF THE CAMERA VIEW. Couldn’t these folks wait until after he was done to look at the stuff. I mean it was different when he did the break because he was doing something tedious.
From a filming perspective - the whole thing was just awful. I have never seen anything like it and have attended hundreds of such classes on dozens of subjects from training horses, art instruction on many levels, horticulture, breeding horses, decorating, landscaping, etc. Never seen such folks. Any thing I have been involved with, the planning committee made sure these things didn’t happen. I have seen moderators who stopped the event to take LET WHOEVER TO GET IN THEIR SEATS, they put a sign on the door no admittance, filming ongoing. And this was in the program and folks were told ahead of time at the beginning of each session so it wasn’t a surprise - believe me it only took once, no one wanted to be embarrassed more then once that it had to be stopped to get them back in their seats, or out of camera view. And those who got stuck outside, didn’t want it to happen again either. But proper planning will eliminate this for the most part, it’s just the really rude ones who are camera hungry or clueless that cause an issue under normal well planned events. If the instructor is against the wall, no one can get behind him, if there is a screen or backdrop on the sides, people can’t get up in the instructors face. And if they do, they deserve what they get.
That woman irritated the slop out of me. I think she thinks too highly of herself and wants to be noticed. As a teacher myself, I would have asked her if she wanted to take over the class. It's just rude and ignorant.
on ne voit meme pas la finition des pièces, c'est nul
People hanging out in your camera space is so distracting that I have to leave.
The "humming" is awful. I know he doesn't seem to know it's happening. It has gotten worse with all the "wolves" closing in. I know he is very knowledgeable but I can't concentrate on that with all the other dtuff going on.
Great teacher! Can’t stand that distracting woman standing in the background! Rude
