Throwing Tea Bowls and altering them.

[@staciebarndweller774]

I love watching you work. I am sixty-eight years old and just discovered the wonderful world of clay... My daughter has bought a kiln and introduced me to hand building. I was in awe of your beautiful handbuilt fish and I am trying to make a few. I just don't have the artistic flare that you have, but I enjoy the process anyway!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Hugs from the Great Lakes...

Thanks, I hope we both have many more years to play with clay.

Hi Vaughan, I've now installed a New pottery studio here at my home in Maine. Long time goal. It's great to follow you and your work. Hope to visit you someday. You are a wonderful potter and instructor. Sharing your life story is nice also. Thank you.

Thanks and good luck in your new studio.

Thank you for giving us a little idea of how you came to do pottery.
Its nice you give us your background.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks. It has been quite a journey and in 4 countries.

Love the way you do a variety of neat things to alter clay with a minimum of tools. Well... one tool! Awesome!

Thanks

I love watching you work. You mention here that you also enjoy watching other potters work and subscribe to their channels. Would you mind sharing some of those names?

[@Vsmithpots]

I watch Simon leach, Mathew Kelly, Florian Gadsby and Hsinchuen Lin. All have different approaches to videos. I think Matthew Kelly is my favourite but he does not post often.

[@pfosinger]

Thanks. The potter I most often recommend that my students watch is Vaughn Smith.

[@Vsmithpots]

@@pfosinger Thanks for that.
