My Dad was a potter back in the 70s and 80s - he didn't have a machine to de-air the clay and I remember him kneading it with his bare hands for hours to avoid bubbles. He had forearms bigger than Popeye - he would test an apple for crispness by squeezing it from end to end. If it cracked, it was crispy. He fed a family of six making pottery. It makes me very happy to see that in this age of convenience and technology, artisanal products like these are still revered.

I've never been more thankful to YouTube's algorithms for recommending this.

Whoever did the cinematography on this one knocked it out of the park! Really beautifully shot.

I am a life long potter. I am now 74 and really like your stuff. I got into building kilns and laying brick. Pottery started my life work. Your cool as hell

I'm a dishwasher, and I totally just recognized where all my plates and bowls come from!

Props! This is awesome. I'm gonna wash more thoughtfully now <3

I have 1 handmade bowl half pink half white, I bought it at a thrift store and I don't know why but words cannot explain how much I love that bowl. I love the colors, love the shape, even washing the bowl makes me happy. I wish I could buy more, my mom thinks I'm mental.

20 years ago a company would never talk to you or show their private work area. I love the work they do. Anyone can start company like this or anything. You must always be learning and working hard for the next avenue to sell it.

It's fascinating to see what is ultimately a hybrid between pure hand craftsmanship and mechanical repetition :) nicely balanced

i like watching people talking about how they mastered their craft, even if i don't care about it

I love that he’s made it. What I love more though is that’s he’s made it and still gets his hands dirty. A true artist at the top of his game. I salute you

I love hearing the change in the sound in the items from one stage to the next. What a joy it would be to have a job like yours, MAKING things.

I don't know why, but I want to take a bite out of the clay circle.

Forbidden snack.

When your job is your passion. It must be an amazing feeling.

[thebobloblawshow]

Wouldn’t it be nice to have your own business and love what you do.

[Jusoon]

Never even thought about dinnerware being made. 1 Youtube recommendation later, I find it fascinating. I think its fantastic that craftsmen like this can find success doing what they love.

To imagine this originated thousands of years ago and is still so prevalent today.
Good job.

[tejaslondhe]

You know the man is genuine when he actually gave all the details and process of making things. Not holding back information.

This is how all advertisements should be done.

There's something serene and soothing to making pottery art.
