The Stephen Jepson and the Robin Hopper videos are perfect for me for
watching while NordicTracking. I've been learning from one or the other
almost daily for the past two years (since my initial toe-testing entry
into pottery where I now have been submerged ever since, joyfully and
unmercifully). These gentlemen are my buds! I did purchase a couple of
other videos early on which were poor quality and choppy execution. That
money was wasted. Don't settle. Get the best. The difference in price
for each individual video is very little.
You know you are addicted to Clayart when...."you don't know the gender
of three of your closest friends because they have neutral nicknames
and you never bothered to ask."

There was a recent post about the video series "Making Pots On The Wheel." We
have been carrying these videos since they have been available!! They are
indeed wonderful videos, well made and with excellent content. For more info
you can contact us at The Potters Shop, 617/449 7687.

Thanks, Centa

I have really enjoyed STEPHEN JEPSON'S VIDEO of ADVANCED THROWING TECHNIQUES.
Not exactly what you asked for, but I understand that he has one on
beginning throwing as well.

Hi ClayArters,
I followed the book thread and searched the archives but did not find
much on videos. I am beginning my 2nd pottery class next week and would
like to supplement with a video. I am interested in learning to throw
utilitarian ware such as tableware, etc., goblets would be a nice
addition. Does anyone have suggestions?
Also, can't decide if my first book purchase should be, "Hands In Clay"
by Speight/Toki or "Craft and Art of Clay" by Peterson. Any suggestions
would be helpful.
I'm looking forward to my first purchase at The Potter's Shop!
Thank you in advance and I wish for you a Happy and Healthy New Year!

hands in clay is an excellent book for a beginner. my choice as text for the
classes i teach. even less expensive, though, is the smaller technique book
by same authors, making it in clay.
sorry, no capitals in this reply. recovering from a clavicle repair and

I donyt know alot about videos except that Stephen Jepson's are great, but as
for your question on books. Both of these books seem a little empty. One
book that I would reccommend is Ceramics by Glenn C. Nelson- a true gem in the

I suggest either one, as they are both excellent books. It might be moreso
advantageous to wait until next week, when you can ask the question to your
instructor. Perhaps the instructor will provide a reading list, of books
related specifically to your upcoming classwork.
Gook luck in your throwing!

I second the motion about the Nelson book. Having seen several editions, any
one would be fine. About videos--a new one was released in '98 by Sugar Creek
Productions. It's "Pottery Basics, Starting to Throw, An Introduction to the
Potters Wheel With Don R. Davis." I think it was reviewed in CM sometime in
the last couple of months. There is also a Lark Ceramics Book that was
released in '98 by Don Davis titled "Wheel-Thrown Ceramics, Altering, Timming,
Adding, Finishing." I had the good fortune to attend a demonstration by Don,
hence the purchases. The book is beautiful and is loaded with color photos of
work by many potters, including names we see on the Clayart list.

It's cheaper to join the American Ceramic Society and rent their videos for
the cost of shipping. I think the membership is about twenty dollars a year
and the usual shipping cost for the video is about $2. They have a large list
of videos including the Robin Hopper series, Stephen Jepson, Paul Soldner, an
old video of Mashiko pottery in Japan, Virginia Cartwright, etc.etc. Leon Bush
is in charge of the video rentals.
You can check out the ACS web site for further information.
Warm regards,
June

Hi,
Have you thought of doing your own videos? Set up a tripod with a 8mm
and demo what you want them to learn. Mike
Bob Hanlin on fri 8 jan 99
Jan:
For my money the very best are Robin Hopper's series on Making Marks and
Form and Function. There are available from Tara Productions
1-800-668-8040. I have the whole series and refer to it periodically. I
have also bought one of Jepson's videos (Advanced Throwing or something
like that) and it simply doesn't measure up. I bought another from A Los
Locos Caballeros Prod. entitled Making Teapots and Lidded Pitchers. I
thought it was OK but I still think that Robin Hopper's are the best by far.
Hope this helps

I think that's a reasonable assumption. DVDs offer more features,
better quality, lower manufacturing cost, more durability, etc.
DVD players have been accepted more quickly than any other
consumer electronic device in history. (Plus, the disks are nice
and shiny!)
The cost to master a professional video and have them duplicated is
fairly low... my guess is you could get a (basic) master made, and
500 copies with packaging, for in the neighborhood of $2500. But for
many small video producers, with existing products on VHS tape,
it just isn't worth the cost as long as the tapes still sell.
I expect that many new products will start appearing on DVD.
Existing VHS products that sell well (or are produced by larger
companies), will eventually move to DVD. But some VHS products
will never make the move, and will pretty much disappear as the
market for VHS tapes dwindles.

In my one-woman (along with my brain-washed spouse) battle against
the crap on TV, I trashed our set, replaced it with DVD on the
computer and a 21" monitor. We happily watch DVD movies, including
whatever Masterpiece Theaters are available--Masterpiece Theater is
one of the few things I miss on TV.
I've been told DVDs will entirely replace videos after a while.
So, while I have lots of pottery books and subscribe to PMI and CT, I
can't seem to find pottery DVDs. The ads for wonderful pottery
teaching videos make my mouth water. Am I correct in thinking that
it's easy to convert video to DVD?
Is anyone listening?

Sure, if that "DVD" in your computer is a WRITER as well as a READER and
your 'puter is set up to accommodate video input (and the video tapes you
intend to copy are not "copy-protected").
>Is anyone listening?
No, and shush up now--we're all watchin' our soaps! :-)
More seriously, I think you're throwing out the baby with the
bath. There's a lot more than Masterpiece Theater on PBS that is well
worth MY viewing, anyway (and M.T. productions are pretty variable in
worth, too, I judge).

Caution - written by a computer geek!
Converting VideoTAPE to DVD is fairly easy - One needs a fairly robust
computer/ lot of disk space/ DVD writer. The computer needs a video
input which is not too hard to get. It takes a fair amount of time to
render the video. Otherwise not too hideous a process.
Converting FILM to DVD is rather more complicated - "easiest" way is to
get a small screen which uses a mirror to project the film to a screen
which you can then film on a videtape. (sorry don't remember the name or
have a better description) All sorts of issues with this - including
getting rid of the flicker caused by the film speed not syncing with the
videotape exposure. There are actually free programs (VirtualDub and
TmpGenc) which help with the filtering and rendering and I like Ulead
DVD Movie Factory (not free) for the final DVD compilation.
There are a lot of places out there who will convert movies to DVD -
Prices are all over the place. Make sure you actually get DVD quality
not VideoCD quality (MPEG2 vs MPEG1).
I suspect that prices on DVD writers and blanks will keep going down a
bit and it will be easier for more people to do it.
