I think your work and videos and savoir faire are all laudable, and your willingness to teach here for nothing is fantastic. Thank you for all of the above!

I stumbled upon ur site quite by accident, I was a potter for a few years and then had to move and lost a place to throw. I so wish I cud start again, you give me such inspiration. I shall continue to watch and enjoy

I'm so excited! I wasn't able to watch the video in one sitting, but when I came back to watch, youtube had it start at exactly where I left off! Nice foot on that bowl...I struggle with visualizing how deep & wide to make the foot....I'll just keep practicing :) !!!

And thanks for making it easy to contribute to the Mashiko relief fund.

Hi Simon,
So sorry for the impact that the Japanese tragedy has had on you and yours. I know that whatever St. Ives Pottery can do will be greatly appreciated.
You have inspired me to work on faceted pots for quite a while now. Thank you so much for these videos which have taught me so much about proportion. I love your faceted pots...they seem to be from another time...

I hope enough money was raised to be truly helpful for Mashiko. Wondering how it all came out and if everyone was able to rebuild. Thanks for all your work and helpful videos!

Simon. Thank you for this great video on trimming. It helps alot. My question is about how you store the freshly thrown pots before you actually sit down to trim them. I have wrapped the pieces in plastic but it seems to stay to wet, if I let them sit out and dry they get over dry.
What is your time line between throwing and trimming and how do you store them during the interim.
Also, with all that wonderful greenware behind you I hope you will cover glazing them!!!

I like the word "ood" to describe the form of the pot. Do you miss your quiet Leach wheel ?

[@potterylady1]

Where did you buy your trimming tool? I love it.

[@r34lsessattack]

How do you get the pots to stay on while trimming, without clay to hold it down?

@sleachpots oops...yes...mood.....
