I love this and look forward to seeing part 2.
Wish you were still potting I need an Urn for my ashes😮😂
I've told heaps of people that you were the Old Sydney Town Potter. Another friend of mine was the wandering minstrel.
I never realized bone china contained up to 50% bone
Thank you! I just started making tiles myself. Looking forward to part 2 :)
Thank you Les as always very interesting and informative!!!!!
Your content is the best on TH-cam for connecting to the arts and arts history in a personal way, it feels like I'm in ceramics class listening to my old professors again but because of your channel I get to drink in your knowledge from across the globe... ❤ Please NEVER EVER stop making these videos!!!!
Thank you so much for your very complimentary and encouraging comment. I'm delighted your liken me to your "old professors" 'cause I'm almost 90 , a retired potter (www.lespeterkinpottery.com)and ceramic collector, but still like teaching and am thrilled that people like you derive something from my videos!
❤❤

Excellent information thank you
I am a potter and sculptor currently climbing the vertical learning curve. Your video, and your work, has my mind reeling- in a very good way!
Why, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. Your collection is beautiful!
Sir , thank you for valuable information. Though I have started collecting antique bone China tea cups recently, I never had any knowledge of it . Beautifully explained.
Excellent presentation, Les!
Wonderful! The Worcester tea set is to die for.
Thank you. We have the blue Delft clock with wind mills.
What a brilliant story! Congratulations.
The best video I've watched on the subject. I'm a student and enthusiast of the world of ceramics and music. This video will help me with my projects. Congratulations!
Thank you so much for that video! It was surprisingly engaging and very well-structured. I feel like ie learned a lot.
thank you for the lovely video! which artist made the colorful instruments at 5:00 ? I looked up Paul Chenoweth, but it looks like he's made other instruments in your video.
Hello - Thanks for you comment - those ones were made by Steve Smeed , in Oregon
Great video thank you. I bought a vase by Samson ❤
Thanks Les , a wonderful variety.
That was interesting and the clocks were beautiful. Thank you
Very informative and very clever skills in doing this work.
thank you :)
Amazing talent! Thank you from usa.
Thank you too!
Thank you, nice video
Glad you liked it!
nice melody!
Why the air-quotes around "musical instrument" when discussing the didgeridoo? Seems just as much an instrument as the rest of the ones here
Hi Drake, A valid comment thanks, but I personally dont think that the sounds that come from the didgeridoo are musical or better still melodious!
@@lespeterkin2516 to each their own I guess. Thanks for the reply :)
Very informative & beautiful 😻
wonderful video! thank you for this
This is all so cool. I like the drum at the end
Amazing. I shared this video to Pinterest! Thank you!
Such interesting instruments
Ever seen a citric - lemons & oranges with green leaves cake stand?
in USA 1932 Fly ash was first collected from coal fire stations then mixed with cement to produce highgrade structural concrete. Fine ash particles fill out the tiny air pockets in concretes. Air 'bubbles' that compromise the structural integrity of concretes
This was very interesting viideo. Very creative
You are very knowledgeable on this subject. I enjoy your videos
Thank you Kim
The pottery is stunning. Thank you for this informative video!
thank You Elinor
Your video series on majolica is most educational and enjoyable. Thank you
Thank you Kim, Its very rewarding to receive good comments
Lovely video. Great information. Thanks
I also like ancient staff! We traveled in Peru last November and I was so impressed by Peruvian pottery, that I started making ceramics myself. In this video I show my first fish - shark: th-cam.com/video/GcpB0Z6VMIQ/w-d-xo.html
