Thank you so much for a wonderfully informative and fascinating lecture. I haven't enjoyed this type of learning process since I was a student.
I can liken it to a great book, a real page turner. I feel inspired and motivated and will now dash out to my little pottery studio in the garden.
Thank you again.
Kindest regards,
Resident of a small village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England
Polly Ann White, I hope you are going through the full Understanding Pottery series, Phil does a really great job of explaining ceramics from a scientific viewpoint. And please invite your friends and fellow potters to watch the channel!
@@WashingtonStreetStudios Thank you. Yes I will certainly be watching the whole serious - a very exciting prospect. And yes, I will recommend Washington Street Studios to my fellow potters.
Kindest regards,
Polly Ann White
By the way, I lived in the south of England for over four years from 97 - 01. I lived in Hamble and Park Gate, both close to Southampton. Unfortunately I hadn't yet started pottery so I missed out exploring a rich ceramic tradition and heritage! Thanks for watching and making us international. Dennis (the cameraman)
@@WashingtonStreetStudiosDear Mr. Stark, I was born in Hampshire, wherein lies Hamble and Park Gate, but have lived in Yorkshire since I was very young. Being rather impertinent and curious, I wonder why you were there?
What can I say about Washington Street Studios and your Round Table lectures, without sounding insincere or gushing.
Well, having just listened to Critiquing Your Own Pottery, some lecturers have a natural ability to inform and inspire, and Mr Berneburg certainly has this very rare gift. And even more wonderful is the generosity, the desire to share his knowledge with the rest of humanity, gratis! So a whopping THANK YOU.
During these sad days of Covid, particularly in the North of England, when many of us have to isolate, it is an absolute joy to sit, listen and absorb the subjects, about which we are all passionate - so another whopping THANK YOU! (I never normally use caps but in this instance...)
Kindest regards,
Polly Ann White
Phil and I were both retired when we started Washington Street Studios and we started the Potters’ Round Table as a monthly in-person gathering where Phil gave his lectures to an audience of 10-15 people as a way to give back to the ceramic community we love. We started to record them after about a year and put them on TH-cam as a way for attendees to review the material. After a few months we had 100 subscribers so I started editing the episodes and they are taking off!
As for why I was in England, I worked on the new air traffic control systems in Swanwick in my previous career.
