    Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
    I just noticed it down on Simons Leaches favorites lists, Wow what agreat video.
    My husband and I tried to make a wheel like this one. It works, but not this well won’t spin as long. Sure is different too, takes alot of skill and whole new methods.
    Thanks again!

    both the Hamada clips come from the one source, the last part is him turning the bottoms of the pots made, I can put it up but its not very exciting

    It’s more like squating Indian style even on a stool.
    I did a Heritage fair for 9hrs last year it took weeks be for I could sit down without cringing!
    I do find my self standing most of the time nowadays.
    It’s easier to teach at my Artisita, it’s on a tall stand and my students sit on a tall stool. For larger projects I have a 1953 Skutt that we sit at.
    Thanks again!

    Thanks so much for sharing. This was such a treat! Anyone interested would very much enjoy the Shoji Hamada, A Potter’s Way and Work by Susan Peterson. I read it years ago, but I think I am going to start re-reading it again to-night.

    Always a pleasure to see how a master works.

    You cannot buy a DVD. The original source was on tape, recorded in Australia in the mid 60’s. I converted the tape to a dvd on my computer.

    Some friends gave me a copy of “A Potter’s Way”. It has always been inspirational. I was fortunate to visit Mashiko in 2009 for the Autumn Pottery Festival. A highlight was being unexpectedly involved in a tea ceremony with some of the Hamada family and tea bowl collection at one of the houses that he rescued. The bowls were an eclectic mix of styles. Mine was an Imari ware blue and white with gold enamel (suitable for a 外国人) while the wife got the more rustic one (possibly a Hamada) …Cool!
