I love Townsends videos. They always seems to bring a smile to my heart.

2021-02-14 01:42:50 +0000 UTCI love the window effect. Thank you for explaining how it's done in the previous video. Watching a craftsman work is so calming.

2021-02-12 15:53:59 +0000 UTCBoth of these behind the scene vids were fun! And I had no idea you were ALSO a potter! Thanks! Enjoyed both vids a lot. And yes--it does look like you're sitting in the sunlight coming through a window!

2021-02-11 14:03:45 +0000 UTCThe consistency of jams and jellies is very different to loose meat, though, isn't it? With a jam or a jelly, only the very top needs to be sealed. But with potted meat, there is a lot of air space. Butter or suet can fill up the gaps in a pot of meat. Wax being inedible, I imagine it can't be used in the same way. Just a thought.

2021-02-11 14:02:13 +0000 UTCNice job on the window with sunlight streaming through! The frequency of light is very much like sun! I enjoyed seeing the pot get made too! So fun! Thanks!

2021-02-11 07:14:09 +0000 UTCThis is just bringing back all the memories about having to rebalance my wife's pottery wheel. One day we'll have a garage with a level floor. One day.

2021-02-11 04:57:35 +0000 UTCYes, I usually work on an electric wheel. I like doing pottery, but really don't have the time to do much.
Jon Townsend
2021-02-11 02:55:35 +0000 UTCCentering clay on the wheel is not so easy to do! You made it look easy! I assume you normally use an electric wheel or a foot levered type wheel. You (or someone) could easily make a bunch and sell them quickly! 😉

2021-02-11 01:43:26 +0000 UTCProbably when wax became more affordable. Wax was extremely expensive for a long time.

2021-02-11 00:52:47 +0000 UTCPretty cool effect with the mirrors. Looks great!

2021-02-10 23:42:41 +0000 UTCThrowing pots is so relaxing. Would making pottery for sale have been an occupation where women were welcome, or was it more likely to be a male-dominated field?
Heather Torrey
2021-02-10 23:18:51 +0000 UTCWonderful Jon. Thank you.

2021-02-10 22:36:27 +0000 UTCGreat Grandma always sealed her jams and jellies with Paraffin wax. When did the change happen between sealed with fat, and sealed with wax?

Danielle Binnom
2021-02-10 22:06:14 +0000 UTCThe lighting looks totally natural. Fantastic job!
Craig Beaty
2021-02-10 22:05:15 +0000 UTCSo when do these handcrafted by Jon pots go for sale? My paypal is ready! Also that "window" looks awesome! The effect is very realistic! Who ever thought of that is a genius!

2021-02-10 21:59:57 +0000 UTCThe fake window is quite convincing.
