I was lucky to have Wally Keeler as my tutor at UWE and his guidance was invaluable not just in clay but also in life too. I still am passionate about ceramics and all that goes with it. Thank you Wally, if you read this.
I heard several years ago that the art school system in the Uk had changed in the way. Walter describes here. Students have to write complex essays instead of learning arts or crafts. Which is heartbreaking for real students who want to learn art . As an art student in l975 we had so little attention from our tutors that many students left out of boredom, For my final exam I was threatened I would fail by the assesor from London because my work was a critisism of the art school system. Minimilism at the time was in vogue which to me was the' Emperors new clothes' in most cases.. I greatly admire Walter Keeler's pots for years and wish I had had a teacher like him. Instead I taught myself pottery after I left art school which was difficult. As Walter says,students are being robbed, not only are the art courses expensive, but they don't teach art. Academia is not art, it's a shame.
Nice clay artist profile, with time capsule of Art school storytelling!
At 56, I have found my retirement career. Now I need to find my style.
Goldmark definitely is helping me with choices.
Thanks for a great selection
That's excellent news. Keep it up!
Thank you for this soul filling series! This series is the most fulfilling I have found. As a former student at Alfred, living very rurally, this is the best series I have found, bringing it all alive again. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this- wonderful to hear the man in person. Inspirational!
Our pleasure!
Wally was a part-time tutor at Bristol when I was there. He was a wonderful, inspiring person who had a true passion for clay. I wish that there were more like him.
He's one of a kind!
Walter Keeler,,,,,, my new hero!,
He's a legend!
He taught me at Bristol a wonderful man
Absolutely delightful to watch, listen, learn and get inspired to, such an interesting evolution and honest loyalty to the inner passion! Loved it💐💫🕊❤️

A remarkable potter and a wonderful man.
One of the best documentary films you have uploaded ... Interesting, informative and engaging. 10/10 cheers john
That was eating and drinking for my creative clay soul. Plus now I realise I must own a Keeler pot, even if it’s only a mug, though my eyes cry out for the branchy stuff. Top work Mr Keeler and Goldmark!

Thank you. I showed this to my pottery students! Amazing!
Your channel has been a blessing during the shutdown. I teach pottery to 158 students in Southern California, remotely this year, and these films have been a treasure resource for assignments. Thank you!

Hey Paul! Knew I'd find you here. I was wondering if you'd be interested in a collaboration. I'm a bonsai artist from Germany and I'm always searching for creative and innovative individuals to collaborate with.
how generous and blessed a life!
Thank you. So special!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Senhor Walter, estou encantada com a sua forma de trabalho. Estou começando agora a cerâmica, muito obrigada 😘

God bless dyslexia, for the man learned to be an artist and potter, without the pretentiousness of most of his peers.

I felt the music was a bit too much over his soft voice; other than that, lovely. Thank you.

What is the pugmill type clay press he uses about a minute into this?
Quien inventó El pottery?
En algún momento entre 6000 y 4000 A.C., se inventó el primer torno de alfarero en Mesopotamia. Esto provocó una revolución en la forma en que los pueblos antiguos podían crear objetos de arcilla.
