Greetings, Lyn

Funny to see your letter. Graham Sheehan is a potter who lives very close
to me, on Gabriola, a little island off the coast of British Columbia.
Sales of his video are currently being handled by Tara Productions. You can
e-mail the owner, Dave Swanson, at: dswanson@islandnet.com, or you can phone
him at (250) 247-8434. I've also passed your email along to him, and I
expect that you will hear from him shortly.

Best regards,

Friends,
I just found out about a new video that sounds very exciting. "Four Hands,
One Heart. Ed and Mary Schier" is a 40 minute feature produced for New
Hampshire Public TV and is available on video for purchase. It is narrated by
the actress Frances Sternhagen, and though I haven't yet seen it, the
description sounds wonderful. If you don't know who the Schier's are, they
are of the first generation of American Studio Potters. Among their
contemporaries are Maija Grotell, Gertrude and Otto Natzler, Margurite
Wildenhain, and Victor Schreckengost. I should have copies in stock when I
return from NCECA.

If you are interested in more info e mail me directly or call the shop.

Cumulatively there is a phenomenal amount of talent on this list. Is there
any interest in doing a video swap? I would be very interested in watching
people work. I think we are all interested in different techniques, and
this would be a good way to add some depth to the written explanations. It
wouldn't have to be professional. I think it would be better if it wasn't.
Reimburse each other for costs etc. Maybe even edit a group of them and
make a Clayart video, Volume 1 etc.

Little tricks, or techniques all add to the quality of our work, and being
able to watch a video of Cat's handles, John Baymore firing, Rush carving
pots with a RedStripe in his hand, Tony preserving a whale turd in a Giffin
Grip etc. would be awesome.

I think it is a great idea. I would be interested in shooting some video
and having it a part of a "ClayArt" workshop tape. I think there is
tremendous potential for such a project--not only to teach ourselves, but
there are a lot of schools and libraries out there that might pay for such a
fine diversified cumulation of ceramic talent on one or a series of video
tapes.

Randy, et al

I am a professional video editor and have all the equipment needed to do
what you suggest. Finding time is always a problem, but MAKING time can be
done for good, worthwhile projects.

I offer my services if this becomes a real project. The only thing(s) I
would request is that the videos are shoot from a tripod and well lit. If
the is a narration accompaning the video I would hope that a good microphone
is used (not the one on the camera) and that it is placed close to the
speaker (ok) or clipped to the speakers collar (best).

DVDs hold about 4 hours of video (it really depends on the compression
scheme), but the problem comes in the playback compatibility of the
different players. VHS video is still the most universal means of playback.
I can handle duplication if each interested person supplies a blank
videotape.

I'll keep tracking this thread to see what comes of this idea.

Sounds like a winner to me. Great community idea!

Jim, how about this you make a tape, send it on to some one they add their
segment. Keep passing the tape on and adding footage. You know like "chain
letters" but a lot more fun and interesting to see what you would get. Last
person, who fills the tape, makes his/her copy and sends it back the
opposite direction. No editing involved, just pure fun. "Clayart's
Americas Funniest Video" in the making...

OK, I hadn't been reading this thread until someone suggested via my inbox
that _I_ do the editing.....The idea, if I understand it, is a good one, but
what is the purpose other than to see what each other looks like? More
power to you, Jim Cullen. ;)

What about video format? Hi-8? VHS? What about PAL submissions from other
countries?

Do you have any resources that you can point to help would-be
cinematographers avoid common mistakes?

I'm not sure what the ultimate purpose is.

Maybe it's just that, to see each others faces. That's not bad.
Maybe to see each others techniques, that's not bad either.
Maybe to show each other their studio space, not bad.
Maybe to release a latent show biz personality flaw, not bad either.
Who knows???
Let's talk about it and maybe something worthwhile will come out of this
kernel of an idea.
Run it up the flag pole. The floor is open for discussion.

I volunteered to put it together. The ClayArt community is responsible to
supply the parts and the use.

My personal interest in the video, is for a few reasons:
1. I wouldn't mind putting faces with you all.
2. Seeing other working studios.
3. Seeing where other potters live, and work. What are your surroundings?
4. Seeing Clayarters at work, and gleaning whatever I can.
5. Watching the many great personalities on this list in their native
habitat. Kind of like a nature documentary, only weirder.

Other possible value:
1. Promote Clayart artists
2. Promote understanding of what we do.



I would like to travel all over the place seeing different people working
with clay. This would be a ceramics tour of the world.

I really meant the video as a substitution for travelling all around. I
too have no time, nor do I have the funds necessary to quit my job, and
close my studio. I am with Jim Cullen on this one. I think it should be
more grass roots. Each contributing their own segment, which can be
edited, and copied, and made available.

Sheryl VanVleck on fri 26 oct 01


EEEIICK!!! That means I finally have to finish cleaning up my studio.

But, it does sound like a great idea. As a newbie to this list, and somewhat
to pottery, I've been potting off and on since 1991, I would love to see all
your faces, your studios, your work.

ok ,so, I finally got the video transferred to a regular size video tape
,it starts out with me wedging 6lbs.of Soldate 60,then theres a quick
peek at some basic shaping tools,(wooden sticks and metal ribs),I attatch
the wedged peice of clay to the wheel head,apply a little slip,and go to
it,throwing about 15 things with about half of them being failures(and
the soundtrack is really bad radio noise),I could have made a
demonstration video where I threw everything really fast with no mistakes
and no slip ,while I described each of the steps in detail, but this is
just a casual introduction to my style,that may be of interest to wheel
throwing students,I may make various detailed instructional videos
available at some later date depending on feedback from people.But what
am I gonna do,stand around waiting for mainstream pottery to develop a
taste for the new standards in throwing and firing, no ,Im going down to
my local school of law and use my veterans benifits to spend the next 5
years getting my 'juris doctor degree'and passing the bar(I
wish),anyways, I would like to get 10 bucks each for these videos(but if
you cant afford it I will send you one anyway)and I welcome any
questions, comments or criticisms on or off the list, right now I have
the adresses of 3 people in South Carloina ,Rhode Island and
Tennessee,who ordered videos and several other people who wanted one but
didnt give a mail address ,so if anybody wants to see a 2 hour 'unique'
throwing video
send a check or money order for 10 bucks made out to
"Dayton J.Grant"
to
Dayton J. Grant
5159 Clara st#10
Bell, Ca.90201 U.S.A.

to order video delivery,
leave a message and a mailing address at shazam76@juno.com
Thanx,Dayton

Playing with colored clays and colored slips can be fun. First you can print with them and then fire the slab. There is a video available "THE ART OF THE CLAY PRINT" that explains how to do this. Contact me off line and I can give you the details.
