Create elegant pots
If
you’ve ever wondered how certain potters can make such elegant pots,
there’s really no secret—just learning some simple techniques and
practice. In this latest video by master potter Adam Field, you’ll learn
all the secrets to master strong throwing techniques through a series
of demonstrations, as well as how to render beautiful carved surfaces.
By the end of the video, you’ll have the knowledge to use these
techniques to create your own elegant pots. Adam works in porcelain
however all the techniques are suitable for any good throwing body.
Runtime: 3 hours
Artist Statement
I
am fascinated with antique artifacts, the way they can speak of mastery
of lost peoples, places, and cultures. This inspires me to create works
that both radiate history and capture my own place and time. I work
toward a clean aesthetic that celebrates the masterful simplicity of
antique Far Eastern pottery, while retaining the modest utility of
colonial American wares. The surface of my pottery is meticulously
carved with intricate designs that borrow from nature and incorporate
the human touch. Much of the carving on my work is informed by the
pattern languages found in indigenous fiber art, such as Hawaiian tapa,
Incan cordage and Zulu basketry.”
—Adam Field
