I enjoy following this list and I just wanted to let the know that Mrs.
Peeler and I have decided to put the Potters of Japan and USA films which
the Peelers made in the 60's on line.
They were sold on film, video and DVD for many years and now they are
available for public use.
The Methods films they made are also available online. I know Mr. Peeler
would have loved for any of the films to be used in education.

A note to anyone that has purchased these films on DVD in the past. Please
feel free to copy them and distribute them as public domain. It is Mrs.
Peeler's wish is that they be used for education and appreciated for their
special historical value.

Potters of Japan, Parts 1 and 2
These two films, shot on location in Japan, will reveal the influence
Japanese pottery has had on ceramics all over the world, and gives insight
into Japanese culture through the ceramic methods and philosophies of the
five potters shown in each film. Each man is famous for his mastery of a
particular technique and the viewer gets a rare opportunity to observe him
closely as he works. These men frequently depend upon heat, flames, and woo=
d
ash to finish their work, and the pottery reflects the wide range of
results, which is inevitable in this unique partnership with nature. Becaus=
e
each man carries on the work of his ancestors, pottery is seen being made
much as it was centuries ago. A particular attraction of these films if the
firing of the multi-chambered Japanese kilns.
PART 1. INCLUDES:
Mori Pottery of Shikoku
Kei Fujiwara at Bizen
Mr. Ichino at Tamba
Ancient elbo-made pots near Kyoto
Yuzo Kondo at Kyoto Bidai

Potters of the U.S.A. Parts 1 and 2
Four outstanding American potters are presented working and discussing thei=
r
craft in each of these two films shot in the artists' own studios. Those
visited are all sound, successful craftsmen, with many years' experience.
Because each one discusses his own personal philosophy and talks about his
work, a feeling of intimacy is created between the artist mad the viewer A
wide variety of forming and glazing methods are demonstrated and many of
each artists' finished pieces are shown in addition to those in progress.
The works range from vase shapes on which the artist has inscribed poetry
and quotations to a hundred-foot-long ceramic mural.

Thank you for the generous gift.
They are much appreciated. I cut my teeth on these videos back in the 70's.
They are pretty remarkable. Like going back in time.

Hey Chuck! :-)
Wonderful to hear about the release of Dick's
films! Back when I travelled the nation as "Mr. Amaco" those films
were part of the workshop program and sure were instrumental in the
success of the endeavor!

I look forward to accessing these gems of ceramic history.
They were most useful as teaching aids when I was introducing the arts and
crafts of claywork to students at Snowtown Area School.
Thanks.
