Simon Leach is my hero

If you haven't looked up Simon Leach over on Youtube go do it. Search for sleachpots and start watching.
I am a visual learner. I learn by seeing things. For me a picture is worth more than a thousand words.
When I ran across Simon Leach's video clips on you tube I spent the better part of a weekend watching and re-watching. I can't tell you how much I learned. Not only does he describe what he is doing, being the teacher that he is he includes all kinds of technical info that is helpful. Weights, measures, chemistry, firing... he includes the hows and whys behind what he is doing and that only adds to what I have learned. Give it a watch and then put some of it to use in your studio.

Here are a couple of oil bottles Simon inspired me to make. We buy bulk cooking oil and the bottles are too large to keep at the stove. These bottles are the perfect size.

So, Thanks Simon!
