My favorites are Robin Hopper's which
are extremely well done with
all bases covered as far as throwing
functional pottery is concerned. I am
impressed at the degree of thought and professionalism each time I =
review them. I know we should
expect such from Robin, but there
are some really poorly done videos
out there. The cost of a poorly done
video is not that much less than a
well done one. Some of us may be
fine potters, but not much when it
comes to teaching..... nor recognizing
superior camera techniques. Beware.
Other favorites are Nils Lou's which is,
in my opinion, NOT for rank beginners,=20
but is thorough and beautiful to watch.
Nils movements are both graceful and
clearly depicted with all sorts of good
tips and information offered almost as
an aside.
Another I enjoy isBonnie Semple's, which covers a broad
range from beginner to more advanced.
Bonnie has obviously given thought
to her offering .... didn't just sit at the
wheel as the camera pointed her way.
I own the Jepson tapes, too, and have
learned much from them. They were
my first instruction of any kind, for which
I'll always appreciate them.
This is a statement of very personal opinion and is in no way meant to =
be a professional critique. If I were buying
only one set of videos, I would opt
for Hopper's.

In the Mojave where the wind is "picking
up," as we say in the desert ..... meaning
we'll be fortunate if the roof stays more
or less intact. The ravens are braving
its force and riding the thermals where
I can see them outside the computer
room window .... spiraling, spiraling, with sudden bursts of energy when =
they
break out of the ring, fly up and begin
all over again ...... much like
kids riding tires, cardboard boxes,
boards, down a snow-covered sand
dune over in Death Valley.

I'm all excited - who is Bonnie Semple, and where and how can I get in touch
with her?
Just in case her Semple line is connected with my Semple line.

I'd like to make a suggestion.
How to videos are one thing, but watching real artists in real time is
something else
check these videos
Artist in Residence
http://www.artinres.com/
Christopher Anderson is documenting artists in real time as to content and
technique. He has several videos on Ceramics. Each is informative in it's
own way. I use the tapes in my classroom. My students find something in
each tape. If you are affiliated with an institution I suggest you
investigate this resource and urge the purchase for a library of
interesting exploration.
Some of you may find something here for your own individual pursuit as well.
I love the whole series that Anderson has documented. It's kind of like a
Lomax legacy of the individual artist that pursues no matter what.
If you are anywhere near Columbus, Ohio contact Chris. He is always looking
for new artists to document. You could be star in his series of artists
tapes.

These videos are very good. One thing you should be aware of: when you click
on one, it seems that nothing is happening for a long time, that is, only
the little icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser is spinning.
What is going on, however, is that the entire flash movie is being
downloaded to your drive before beginning. Depending on your connection, it
can take quite a while.
Once it's downloaded, it starts immediately. There are no controls on the
browser window that the movie is playing in, and it will play and repeat til
you close the browser window or click the back button.
It also seems as though the movie file is left on your hard drive, so
subsequent viewings should be quick.
