My every day mug at work is one of Lisa's that was given to me as a gift ... so I smiled when she talked about having that favourite mug :) Funny how so many potters' rejects or disappointments - such as her teapot .. are still such gorgeous pieces of work!
I worked for a potter named Lisa, it was one of the best jobs I ever had. Lisa Howe Stoneware, I messed up awfully bad and surprised I wasn’t fired...lol....I fired greenware in the kiln that heated too quickly and about 30 very large bowls about 20”-24” inches wide. I felt so bad and offered to work extra to make up for the loss. I forgot to turn the kiln up before I left for the day and went back late that night and turned it up to high (not by much but still)...every one of the bowls blew up...well shattered but rendered a complete waste. Lisa responded in a way that I will always remember and hope to pass on someday and that she was upset but shit happens and she was wondering when I was going to make a mistake. I had worked for a year and didn’t break one thing or miss sanding a spot. Thanks for the video. My memories are reliving some good...nay, great times.
Your pottery is imaginative and made from a quietly confident and beautiful mind. Your pottery isn't priced based on an hourly rate rather it is priced like most art ie. priced for all the years it took you to get to this point of being able to produce such beautiful objects. Cheers to you Ms. Hammond :)
20:06 - I think shes wrong - I love it, the big swoop of rust color, its very nice. There are not mistakes, only ones that don't come out as expected. You still might find someone that loves it.
Art is subjective and the artist is always right....well right when it comes to their own art and their execution...it’s not beautiful in her attempt to make something specific. However as a pot it was beautiful. But it’s not just a pot for her.
The "feet" is called wadding. It is just clay with alot of refractory material. It is used in wood firing because in a wood kiln the accumulation of wood ash actually forms a glaze. Without the wadding the work would be glazed to the kiln shelf. If you've never been a part of a wood kiln firing do whatever you can to do it. It is a remarkable way to fire with incredibly varied results. Alot of fun!
Great documentary! Really felt the vibe or mood of the potter. Great work, great privilege to be so close to her through the film. God bless all who were responsible. Thanks.
This brought back memories of firing a wood burning kiln in Japan. Each kiln has a personality and I developed a fun relationship with the one I worked at. However, it was in rural China that I learned to work with clay at a small family facility.
LOVE this video... it reminds me of why I love being a potter. Your work reminds me of my own- I became "addicted" be seeing a Japanese teapot. during my first pottery class. Thank you for sharing.
@@knightclan4 Now, everything you create you will inherently know is yours--and then everyone else! You'll apply the fundamentals of design, composition, color etc. of course, but it'll all be in your voice. It's an exciting time--- and a bit hard to explain.... But it sounds like you're there. So, congrats---now the fun really begins. Pam
🥀 I'm just finding your video. I think you'd have made a great teacher for myself ! I'm such a perfectionist & you'd have given me a sense of freedom to err & some balance I'm sure I needed. lol I'm not a potter, but as a child I always wanted to be, finding pottery making very interesting. I want yo be an all-rounder ! 🙂 Thanks for the interesting video ! 🌹🙋🏻♀️
Lisa you are AMAZING , what a talent !!!! for me is very sad to see your pottery , I love each one and I want ALL , I love your work , love from URUGUAY
To become a potter, you must fire the clay. So many hesitate on the real challenges of glazing. To me glazing is a very emotional step into the Art and becoming "The Potter".
incredibly beautiful, wholesome ware. I am just finding my feet in soda firing..... Hope to visit her some day, and if possible attend a workshop by her, or participate in one of her firings!
I just discovered you. Have you done any woodash glazing..I am doing this on my current pottery and pleased with results; oddly enough am using porcelain body. I am impressed with your setup in Cornwall: Stay lucky. Peter (Hall Pottery, New Zealand) =
I eat my cereal out of an old "Country Crock" margarine bowl. Granny loved butter, so we had tons of brown plastic bowls lying around. I've been using the same one for over two years.
I liked her "I don't have a lot of my pots in my house. I have several nice seconds, you have to sell the good ones." I know that only too well. I actually look forward to the seconds... Oh dear, the glaze is a bit thinner than I'd like right there: Second. Oh, a blister on the lip. I'll grind that down and put it in my cupboard for tea...oh dearie me Second, again... ;)
At 6:20, I'm not understanding the "feet" that are being put on before firing. I've never done it like this. Would someone explain what the material is and how it is used? I'm a fairly experienced potter, but am apparently ignorant on this method.
it's wadding, usually a mix of alumina hydrate and fireclay. the soda fluxes the clay in the pots and without the wadding the pots would stick to the shelf.
A Comment about Pottery Firing, to Lisa Hammond: 'A Sense of Adventure' feature film about British potter, ua-cam.com/video/JSDhR5__kRM/v-deo.html from SabooTaboo aka KyleCPM a world #AspiringScientificVegan 2017 Feb 16th am 041 You like different firing? How about fireless? Solar heat. Paint the kiln black. Put Mirors around it. Be sure to have curtains you can draw on all the mirrors so You can approach the kiln. Would it hold enough heat over night? Could still save hours of energy or fuel. Considered burning water? Water torches can be Extremley Hot, And the Chemistry is interesting. Your materials can become refined within the flame(extra hydrogen), or made to refractory (extra oxygen). Never run out of fuel again, Never pollute the planet again. Do it on a dime. If you mix your pottery glass glaze with extra metal (shavings or powder or refine it out), it will create a chemicaly resistant glass Electrode (Specifically an anode is what you'll have. but it would work for either electrode). From there making a water torch should be easy. Best Choice Happenings. All you Need are Morals, Chemistry, & Physics.
i find it way more interesting to women creating art. they are not that sexual harassing while doing a video. they have more soul. women are the best.! and her subtility is astonishing, which may many keep dreaming of.! sincerely the best.! upvoted. HQEA
Hm. Interesting but not really special. Some of the pots and the cups seem like they have arisen out of luck, without any plan or any inspiration - seem too random. I find this quite a problem in your work. Projects that come from wheel throwing look so so, in the pictures seem quite thick and I honestly feel that the glaze makes them kind of pretty. Way overpriced.
Matina Papagiannarou ouch, rather scratchy of a comment considering you chose to watch. But if you choose to waste you time on so-so watching and then waste even more time commenting....maybe it’s not Lisa that lacks to impress you.
just had a look at some of your pots at goldmark gallery....how the hell do you studio potters justify the prices? as much as i like your work i could not afford any of it as usable everyday stuff .i would have to to put it in a cabinet behind toughened glass. same as jim malone and phil rogers, overpriced and unpractical for everyday use...
jmpmcd Are you expecting a similar price in hand crafted pots to an everyday, toss around, mass produced, cup? The other way you can save some money is to buy direct from an artist. I have bought from some galleries and they all take different percentages. I have had positive experiences buying pots direct and through galleries. Personally, I tend to find a lot of potter's work is under priced rather than marked up. But I think this is do to making work myself and understanding the amount of work in the process of ceramics. BTW, Goldmark Gallery does a great service connecting viewers with the makers and I have enjoyed all of their videos highlighting passion of craftsmen and women.
zhpottery have a look at ingleton pottery, all handcrafted ,without the premium price . and i do buy direct from the "artist" (though i like to refer to them as potters, because calling them artists puts the premium price on) and it is cheaper,but you usually can only buy what they have not managed to sell at the exhibition or gallery. i too make my own pots,though not of late(illness) and understand about the work that goes into the process . but my argument is how can Dan at ingleton pottery make you four soup bowls for £20 and jim malone charges you £80 for one because he calls it a chawan? i think the difference is one is working class and the other is middle class, or would have you believe they are...
jmpmcd Well I see the difference between Jim Malone pots and Dan INgleton pots, don't you? Look at the speed the work is made. Dan does indeed handcraft his work, but he is also making more "production style". I don't mean that in a negative connotation, but he makes more work which gives him an advantage in numbers. Look at how many videos he has on "throwing". He is great at what he does but I don't think he is doing much with the glazing to my knowledge. Jim Malone is making work on a kick wheel. So you may not like the word chawan, but if you walk into his studio, it's much more a chawan than Dan. Again, Dan isn't calling his a chawan, but it doesn't mean Jim is giving this Japanese name to increase the price. Jim has some brush decorating on some of these pots as well as woodfiring his body of work. Dan makes craft, and I believe Jim makes craft as well but the are different from each other. None better or worse.
jmpmcd Being a potter you should understand and respect other potters artistic choices. Their style, essence, and price define who they are as an artist and craftsman. Goldmark has talented potters who have serious skill and understanding of clay. The price of something is what someone is willing to pay for it. Although you may not understand the value of the connection of the clay to the potter, which really confuses me as you are a potter, many other people do.

Her words pop out loud and clear and she makes her point across beautifully
Amazing workshop and kilns!! Beautiful artwork and brilliant potters!

Cheers to you Ms. Hammond :)
I've watched this over and over and learn something new each time.
That's great!
I really like this. Striving to make a 'spirited pot' is what it's all about, when everything comes together
20:06 - I think shes wrong - I love it, the big swoop of rust color, its very nice. There are not mistakes, only ones that don't come out as expected. You still might find someone that loves it.
I agree! As an artist I have seen people love a piece I made and it was my least favourite :D
I adored that pot!! it was beautiful
Art is subjective and the artist is always right....well right when it comes to their own art and their execution...it’s not beautiful in her attempt to make something specific. However as a pot it was beautiful. But it’s not just a pot for her.
Really enjoyed the film, loved her gentle spirit & yearning for continuos learning, allowing the clay to do it’s own thing & letting go
Glad you enjoyed it, well said!

lisa you are a true artist who works from the heart ,,,,,hats off to you
You are the best for me, I start very late with ceramic forms, but I know it is fantastic, even if I make so many mistakes
Love you in East Enders, Lisa! You're acting is so good, I never would have believed you could walk without your chair!!
Your commentary is so engaging. Love watching.
love her work

Watching this video inspired me to start a water color painting.
The moment an artist finds their voice, is the day they know where they're going.... I remember.
Funny you should say that

fuck off
Ciao Lisa spero un giorno di poter vedere le tue opere da vicino!
Pretty sure that is just regular clay being placed at the foot of the bisque ware so that it does not stick to the shelving.
Eine tolleFrau. Sie versteht ihr Handwerk. Danke es ist schoen zu sehen.

Why would you throw something on a wheel and then prefer the vessel if it's wobbily?
why not? :)
Oh god where to begin?
It’s all subjective my dear. When you understand that you will accept those around you and not give a damn either way.
