- This documentary follows top UK studio potter Lisa Hammond as she prepared for her 2012 Goldmark exhibition. Delving into her artistic practice, it provides an insight in to the various stages that go into making her distinctive pieces. We see Lisa at her wheel throwing chawans (teabowls) and a large tsubo jar; firing and unpacking her kiln; and talking about her influences over the years, in particular her love of the Japanese pot making tradition. Also captured on camera is her technique of spraying the soda solution direct into the firebox over a period of three hours, creating the characteristically rich and varied surfaces of her pots.

Biography - After completing a 1 year foundation course and a 3 year diploma in ceramics at Medway College of Art, Lisa Hammond set up her first pottery in 1980. Aged only 23 she spent the next 5 years establishing Greenwich Pottery Workshop in London. In 1982 as a teacher at Goldsmith's College Hammond was able to introduce soda glaze into her work, its pitted texture still a feature of her pots today.
As well as exhibiting all over the UK, Hammond has had several very successful shows in Japan. She spent 9 months in Sydney, Australia and has held teaching posts at Goldsmith's College and Camberwell College of Art. She has been elected member of the Craft Potter's Association and had her work shown in the National Gallery, London and The Tate, Liverpool.

She is a potter’s potter. Love her work and how much she loves clay. Her pots sing!
Thank you!
The moment an artist finds their voice, is the day they know where they're going.... I remember.
Funny you should say that
I'm finding mine finally
@@knightclan4 Now, everything you create you will inherently know is yours--and then everyone else! You'll apply the fundamentals of design, composition, color etc. of course, but it'll all be in your voice. It's an exciting time--- and a bit hard to explain.... But it sounds like you're there. So, congrats---now the fun really begins.

Thanks Pam
Her words pop out loud and clear and she makes her point across beautifully
I've watched this over and over and learn something new each time.
That's great!
Such a great mentor!
One of the best
Really enjoyed the film, loved her gentle spirit & yearning for continuos learning, allowing the clay to do it’s own thing & letting go
Glad you enjoyed it, well said!
love her work
To become a potter, you must fire the clay. So many hesitate on the real challenges of glazing. To me glazing is a very emotional step into the Art and becoming "The Potter".
a delightful video
20:06 - I think shes wrong - I love it, the big swoop of rust color, its very nice. There are not mistakes, only ones that don't come out as expected. You still might find someone that loves it.
I agree! As an artist I have seen people love a piece I made and it was my least favourite :D
I adored that pot!! it was beautiful
Art is subjective and the artist is always right....well right when it comes to their own art and their execution...it’s not beautiful in her attempt to make something specific. However as a pot it was beautiful. But it’s not just a pot for her.
lisa you are a true artist who works from the heart ,,,,,hats off to you
Watching this video inspired me to start a water color painting.
Inspiring! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
LOVE this video... it reminds me of why I love being a potter. Your work reminds me of my own- I became "addicted" be seeing a Japanese teapot. during my first pottery class. Thank you for sharing.
Great documentary! Really felt the vibe or mood of the potter. Great work, great privilege to be so close to her through the film.
God bless all who were responsible. Thanks.
she is great, peaceful, --her pots and strong and simple-- great film too- good mood
the endless pursuit for those few special pots in a lifetime is such a beautiful thing in pottery. wonderfully put, lisa.
Beautiful works .
I love her works! Beautiful!
Love you in East Enders, Lisa! You're acting is so good, I never would have believed you could walk without your chair!!
Great video. Thank you.

Thanks excellent.
Hi Lisa...Your works are very beautiful...has inspired me, I hope someday you can visit
Fantastic video.
Impressive. Unique. Awesome.
I worked for a potter named Lisa, it was one of the best jobs I ever had. Lisa Howe Stoneware, I messed up awfully bad and surprised I wasn’t fired...lol....I fired greenware in the kiln that heated too quickly and about 30 very large bowls about 20”-24” inches wide. I felt so bad and offered to work extra to make up for the loss. I forgot to turn the kiln up before I left for the day and went back late that night and turned it up to high (not by much but still)...every one of the bowls blew up...well shattered but rendered a complete waste. Lisa responded in a way that I will always remember and hope to pass on someday and that she was upset but shit happens and she was wondering when I was going to make a mistake. I had worked for a year and didn’t break one thing or miss sanding a spot. Thanks for the video. My memories are reliving some good...nay, great times.
Enjoyed watching this...thank you
A beautiful mind,,,beautiful products
Thank you Lisa! Great video, and great work!
so inspiring lisa!! your an awesome lady with a skill thats as awesome! thanks for this video..... :)

felicidades muy original
fuck off
Bravo...
Dom.
Gorgeous work. Would love to visit your fantastic studio in Devon. Fab.
Muy muy bello. Yo quiero hacer como tù. Muchas gracias
I liked her "I don't have a lot of my pots in my house. I have several nice seconds, you have to sell the good ones." I know that only too well. I actually look forward to the seconds... Oh dear, the glaze is a bit thinner than I'd like right there: Second. Oh, a blister on the lip. I'll grind that down and put it in my cupboard for tea...oh dearie me Second, again... ;)
Congratulations for achieving such beauty.

This is fantastic! Thank you Lisa for sharing.
14:07 So nice
it really nice creation I like it so much
🥀 I'm just finding your video. I think you'd have made a great teacher for myself ! I'm such a perfectionist & you'd have given me a sense of freedom to err & some balance I'm sure I needed. lol I'm not a potter, but as a child I always wanted to be, finding pottery making very interesting. I want yo be an all-rounder ! 🙂 Thanks for the interesting video ! 🌹🙋🏻♀️
marvelous
I eat my cereal out of an old "Country Crock" margarine bowl. Granny loved butter, so we had tons of brown plastic bowls lying around. I've been using the same one for over two years.
ADOREI TUDO LINDO!!!
SEU ATELIER, SUAS OBRAS BELÍSSIMAS
ADORARIA CONHECER TUDO ISSO, PARABÉNS!
muito bom,parabéns.
bravissima insegnante
incredibly beautiful, wholesome ware. I am just finding my feet in soda firing.....
Hope to visit her some day, and if possible attend a workshop by her, or participate in one of her firings!
Pretty sure that is just regular clay being placed at the foot of the bisque ware so that it does not stick to the shelving.
Eine tolleFrau. Sie versteht ihr Handwerk. Danke es ist schoen zu sehen.
Ciao Lisa spero un giorno di poter vedere le tue opere da vicino!
Very nice and beautiful
Thank you

I just discovered you. Have you done any woodash glazing..I am doing this on my current pottery and pleased with results; oddly enough am using porcelain body. I am impressed with your setup in Cornwall: Stay lucky.

You are fantastic like your beautiful pottery!
What kind of wheel does she have?
Ich habe eine Frage. Auf welcher Höhe hast du die Drehscheibe stehen?
At 6:20, I'm not understanding the "feet" that are being put on before firing. I've never done it like this. Would someone explain what the material is and how it is used? I'm a fairly experienced potter, but am apparently ignorant on this method.
it's wadding, usually a mix of alumina hydrate and fireclay. the soda fluxes the clay in the pots and without the wadding the pots would stick to the shelf.

You like different firing? How about fireless? Solar heat. Paint the kiln black. Put Mirors around it. Be sure to have curtains you can draw on all the mirrors so You can approach the kiln. Would it hold enough heat over night? Could still save hours of energy or fuel.
Considered burning water? Water torches can be Extremley Hot, And the Chemistry is interesting. Your materials can become refined within the flame(extra hydrogen), or made to refractory (extra oxygen). Never run out of fuel again, Never pollute the planet again. Do it on a dime.
If you mix your pottery glass glaze with extra metal (shavings or powder or refine it out), it will create a chemicaly resistant glass Electrode (Specifically an anode is what you'll have. but it would work for either electrode). From there making a water torch should be easy.
Best Choice Happenings.
All you Need are Morals, Chemistry, & Physics.

you know...
👍👍👍👏
Why would you throw something on a wheel and then prefer the vessel if it's wobbily?
why not? :)
Oh god where to begin?
It’s all subjective my dear. When you understand that you will accept those around you and not give a damn either way.
i find it way more interesting to women creating art.
they are not that sexual harassing while doing a video.
they have more soul.
women are the best.!
and her subtility is astonishing, which may many keep dreaming of.!
sincerely the best.!
upvoted.

nice work but i find beautiful pots that also have practicality without an outrageous price tag are more interesting to me as a collector

Sie kann nicht drehen und die Glasuren sind auch nichts besonderes.dafür kann sie gut reden.
Golakulus Rothschild du hast recht!
Golakulus Rothschild the best comment!
Golakulus Rothschild to be expected from the Illuminati:)
She a ginger
My every day mug at work is one of Lisa's that was given to me as a gift ... so I smiled when she talked about having that favourite mug :) Funny how so many potters' rejects or disappointments - such as her teapot .. are still such gorgeous pieces of work!
The "feet" is called wadding. It is just clay with alot of refractory material. It is used in wood firing because in a wood kiln the accumulation of wood ash actually forms a glaze. Without the wadding the work would be glazed to the kiln shelf. If you've never been a part of a wood kiln firing do whatever you can to do it. It is a remarkable way to fire with incredibly varied results. Alot of fun!
سلام خیلی زیبا شما در کجا هستید من هم یک سفالگر هستم
I am 73 when I was a teenager my grandmother was using a crackle glaze on her ceramic. it is cool.
Amazing workshop and kilns!! Beautiful artwork and brilliant potters!
I really like this. Striving to make a 'spirited pot' is what it's all about, when everything comes together
Wonderfully appropriate that the thumbnail for this video calls to mind Vermeer's Milkmaid.
Thank you.
Sorry, but these pieces are ghastly.
Your commentary is so engaging. Love watching.
Very very nice Vases Lisa !
This brought back memories of firing a wood burning kiln in Japan. Each kiln has a personality and I developed a fun relationship with the one I worked at. However, it was in rural China that I learned to work with clay at a small family facility.
You are the best for me, I start very late with ceramic forms, but I know it is fantastic, even if I make so many mistakes
Looking forward to seeing you at the North Carolina Potters Conference in a couple of weeks!
yowzerrrrrr
Here's to many more Happy Accidents!
Thank you for sharing you philosophy.
Really enjoyed this video! I feel inspired! Thank you!!
where Harry?
..... there is a very fine line between simplicity and banality.
