"Having a pottery exhibition where you can't handle stuff is like hanging pictures in the dark" I love this so much

Wonderful documentary. Richard was my uncle and this captures his understated passion and humility perfectly, so thank you.

A beautifully made film and an inspiring insight into possibly the last of the great English potters in the Leach tradition.

“Error, chiefly”....Lol... we all know that feeling but we are addicted to the process anyway...Clay is awesome!

Thanks so much for that.... My Mum has a huge collection of his work and we have always eaten off his plates and bowls. I went to school with his sons and also interviewed him while I was at Art college. So great to see such a beautiful sensitive film, bringing back memories...

I like both of these Richard videos! Especially the throwing on the wheel parts, making clay parts, glazing parts, Richard's chat/narrative, and basically the whole thing great viewing for beginners, intermediate and advanced clay artists!

Thank you for this. I am enamoured by his work and loved watching it. Deeply saddened knowing he passed away.

That was the most interesting pottery video. I’ve only been potting for a year but never really thought about the way the clay is made. And that wheel is brilliant. I think I could lose time watching him work.

That's a terrific film. I taught Art and Pottery at a school in Wimborne and used to love popping over to see RB in Durweston when I got the chance. He had, and still has, strong views about what is good and bad in pottery and, as a result, was good fun to talk with. In 1997 I moved to another school in Kent which had a gallery as part of the Art Department and I soon started to show potters I liked. RB was one of them. I will never forget the show, which was a sell-out. I am now lucky to have quite a lot of his pottery which I use virtually every day. What an example he is for any young potter starting out. I certainly felt very blessed to have known him.

What magnificent work. His pieces are so humble yet full of life and resonance.

He is truly a "treasure"...I hope to buy some of his work...a true potter

Glad to see such passionate people and their love for what they do

Superb. Reminds me of happy time’s visiting him 😊

Rest in Peace, you beautiful being 🙏🏻

Absolutely beautiful and very humbling. Thank you.

Lovely and thoughtful video. Thank you❣️

So appreciated.

I am very pleased that Richard has allowed us an insight into his life and work. Also thanks to the film makers for their fine work. I visited Richards pottery in 1976 and seeing how he lived and worked had a big influence on me. I have been fortunate enough to purchase some of his pots and live with them. They are timeless pots and continue to be a pleasure to use and look at. Thanks for your work

thanks for this video, there is something about watching and listening to someone who 'knows'..

An excellent documentary about Richards thoughts and potting life.

I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing his art. As a new potter myself I connected with Richard and learned from much from his wisdom.

Wonderful film. You captured his essence and hard work and art so beautifully. I am an amateur potter, and I greatly appreciate Richard’s wisdom.

Brilliant film thank you

Very beautifully done ....Bravo

Great potter and very good film. #Thank you.

Wow, something to aspire to! The glazes!

So happy I fell upon this video

Very good. Thank you.

Rest In Peace Richard.

Great sense of humor !

I get great pleasure every day, using his pots, plates, mugs, jugs and dishes. His philosophy comes through to my hands.

My favorite Ceramic video.

Beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️

the glazes are breathtaking

Ausome documentary

Cai aqui de paraqueda amo cerâmica yd muito lindo muito capricho tds suas peças lindas de mais amei muito.

Very wise chap

What an amazing potter and story, thanks. I cant help but wonder if his difficulty in breathing is from that 20cm layering of clay dust everywhere. 50 years worth it seems. I ask because I too have this "creative messiness" personality as well. Maybe we should respect the dust a bit more?

Saya dari Indonesia saya suka seni kerajinan anda

I'm not so familiar with British clay artists, born Dublin Ireland moved to Pennsylvania age 5....I notice Michael Cardo being mentioned can I get a spell check for him?...as my search isn't taking me to any relevant clips videos ,or films??

What is a fourtnight? Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Please wear a respirator when mixing dry ingredients. You may wind up breathing like this poor soul. A wonderful talent paying the price for his art.

be nice to have the space produce your own clay etc...

I wish Alan Watts was a potter

I keep coming back here for inspiration. Seems like he fired once?

What is he doing sieving clay ? No narrative no explanation!!!

Did he die of heart failure? That gasping he does most of the time is an early symptom.
