Pottery Instructional Video Series!
Finally I’ve finished another set of Pottery Instructional Videos! I’m excited about this, because it is quite an endeavor to create these videos. The filming, the editing, and getting everything right with uploading to the hosting service. So yes, I am HAPPY the videos are finally out there!
Why do I make these videos?
I make pottery instructional videos because I want to see the long honored craft of pottery continue. I know that not everyone has access to pottery classes where they live, and not everyone can afford to, or may not want go to college for an art degree like I did.
I get asked so many questions on social media when I show my little snippets of my pottery making. In an ideal world it would be nice if I could answer all those questions and give away info for free, but that wouldn’t be right. I’ve spent many, many years learning the art of pottery. It’s been 30+ years since my BFA degree from Alfred University College of Art and Design. 30+ years of learning, practice, and making mistakes. All of this education and years of experience go into to each piece of pottery that I make, and each lesson that I teach.
I am choosing to create long form, detailed instructional videos. You, the consumer pays for these pottery lessons, and that’s it, no ads, no flashy pop ups to navigate around, just quiet, deliberately made “slow work” videos. I teach you everything I know from my many years as a potter.
New videos might only come out once or twice a year, because like my pottery, it’s slow work. It’s just me in my studio with my DSLR camera, my microphone and my iMovie editing software. I pay for a video hosting platform, (for now it’s Vimeo). All of this takes lots of time and does cost me a bit of money.
So head on over to my “Online Pottery Lessons” and invest a little bit of money to gain a lot of knowledge from all of my years of experience!
You can watch my intro video below. You can also take a look at the other video below on “Tap Centering” to get an idea of my teaching style.
