    Well, you sure started off this new series with the right guy! Looking forward to your next interview.

  2. Good interview with an important contributor. It would be interesting to see more close ups of his work.

      Agreed, This was early in my video experience and I would probably have shot it very differently today.

  3. Wow this was a fantastic interview. I loved the designs that incorporated the pinching textures and the painted designs. So interesting. I like the bird effigies and the mugs. And the kiln was great. Would like to watch him fire something.

      Yes, he is quite the artist. Unfortunately I think he is pretty much focused on his oil paintings at this time and not doing any pottery.
