This is my first viewing of this ceramic artist - it intrigued me enough to go find out more after seeing this - I found a very interesting comment about this particular work of his, "It has been named "skin of elephant" (elephant skin). These pieces are thrown, but they are pushed outwards while they are being made, to crack the surface; they give the feeling of dry burnt earth. "* I think that explains quite a bit right there. In the comments here some do not understand what Terry Davies is creating at all. That is understandable, as he is coming from many decades of experience working with clay first as a production potter and then as a studio potter (he truly is a master potter) and he is also using an aesthetic which is far more Asian than Western. Personally, I love clay and all which can be done with it, and for the last few years especially, I seem to be somewhat obsessed with highly textured surfaces. I also very much appreciate the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi described in Wikipedia "In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘 寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete"." For me, this artist definitely explores those types of beauty in his work. I hope this helps some of those who are perhaps just beginning to love clay, but don't have much experience working with it or viewing ceramic artwork yet to understand somewhat why this artist is viewed as a master potter. BTW, I love the textured surface of his teapot, which is shown in focus for only a second near the beginning of this video - 0:26. * terrydavies.it/about-me/

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, here i see an artist who has not constrained himself by pre-constructed ideas of other people, good for him!

this artist's work is beautiful. he has mastered this particular kind of piece.

Love it....quick, simple, expert and the result just beautiful. A joy to see him work.

I like that pile of clay with the cup standing on top of it. that's a pretty cool sculpture. the rest of the video was awesome as well.

l love your work very much

Hownice !

What a great job he has!

Fantastic!

Genial trabajo !!!!

"This is what happen when you fire a cup!!!" lol

Me encantó la rusticidad de tus piezas, son oxidos con silicato de sodio

last one was the best one. Great Wabisabi

I personally love to use a torch when doing pottery and his expression is no different than "guitar face" when someone is soloing

Beautiful!

this is really cool to watch, but what do they look like after they are fired? I'd love to see the design.

Magnifique travail!!!!!

Does anyone know what he's applying to the thrown piece? I assume the first layer is sodium silicate, followed by colored slip. Any thoughts?

looks pretty dope to me. don't understand the hate

Cool.

METRO Magnífica la técnica-! Son engobes comunes los que usas.?

How unkind to write that comment. An expert always makes a difficult thing look easy. I would have loved to see it after it was fired. Beautiful.

very pleasant to look at this!

Wow fantastic -.-

WOW, I would like to do thiS

I was afraid he would torch his finger!

Eu quero ❤️

Как добиться такого эффекта??? Это ангобы?

😍😍😍

not purely mastery-full, just to be kind.

comment section is hilarious on this one

cuantos años se necesitan para aprender a trabajar así?

How many pounds of clay did you use

Take the Japanase way any day of the week....

FYI it's called "master" because he is able to mass produce it so quickly. It he spent time on each he could make it look impressive but look how many he is making in such a short time. What so you expect?

maybe point the camera at him?

????

what's so great about that

the subject of the video is very interesting, because I love to see modeling in clay, but a great sin, the images are out of focus and with objects obstructing the vision. I could not watch.

A pottery class of 6 year old's could produce something similar .

Im currently learning pottery and sculpture and I think art is subjective, but what I would like to say is that this was the most angry pottery I've ever seen, the way the clay was handled was so aggressive, and instead of peaceful serenity on the maker's face there was nothing but a scowl. The whole point of this artform is nurturing and shaping with care and love, letting it grow and show it's true beauty with just some help. This was forceful and there seemed to be a disdain for clay and the end product seemed as angry as the master. I would not like one of a those items in my house. Iwish the best of luck to this master.

I think that was some ugly pottery

i dont want to be disrespectfull but... the best or master? I do this work and I can say that this guy, isnt best not in the forming on the lathe not on decoration onestly. I had students (kids) who after one hour managed to shape the same shapes

"Master pottery Terry Davies"...is a joke or something?he work the clay with violence, brutality. absolutely embarrassing to watch.the result means nothing, in addition it is a copy of a known technique

The God of heaven and earth is Elder Park Tae Sun. Do you know God's name? In the West, in the fear of the name of God, in the east, of the glory of God. Here is the name of God. It means that God came out of man. Is there anyone in the world who announced that I am God? In 1980, Elder Park Tae Sun declared, "I am God!" I will reveal to the world that Korea is the East, the place to fear the glory of God. In Israel, the East is the Republic of Korea. A country that is not destroyed here forever is a country where the sun will lose its light and will emerge afterward! It is the country of Park Tae Sun. Do you know that the candlestick of Israel came to the East as the East? You will see that in the Republic of Korea there is a new, never-destroying country. God's Word of Man's Creation, the Word of the Alien, the Word of the End Times, and the Word of the eternal world are recorded on the following website. Five hundred years ago, the book of the prophets written by the teacher of Nasagoda, the name of God is shown in the file. 1. (十八卜術) 誕生하니 朴 (십팔복술) 탄생 박 2. 三聖水源(三人之水) 泰 삼성수원(삼인지수) 태 3. (羊一口의 又八) 일세 善 (양일구 우팔) 선 1. (十八卜) ; 十 + 八 = 木 + 卜 = 朴 (십팔복) 십 + 팔 = 목 + 복 = 박 2. (三人之水) ; 三 + 人 + 水 = 泰 (삼인지수) 삼 + 인 + 수 = 태 3. (羊一口의又八) ; 羊 + 一 + 口 + 八 = 善 (양일구의우팔) 양 + 일 + 구 + 팔 = 선 IIn the above passage, God's name clearly appears in the prophecies name is.It does not matter whether you believe this or not.God will judge you and build an eternal kingdom. www.paikmagongja.org/index.html kzfaq.info/love/O_rEMr4UmnefwdY95cVJPg

NO.

quite underwhelming.
