The Joanna Bird Foundation felt it was imperative to make a film about Richard Batterham - the last of Bernard Leach’s practicing apprentices. Richard is a great example of how one man with due talent, diligence and discipline can achieve a remarkable and successful life time’s work making pots which truly enhance life. Richard Batterham is an iconic figure though he himself is a modest man who...

I remember hearing a story about a craftsman making the most perfect piece,nothing to improve ,perfect.he never made another thing.
Opens up the senses to a alternative experience
I love round shapes and muted colours, restfulness

It's hobbie ceramics Throw, using isomic energy and draw 5 -,10,- 25 Kgs is as far as physics allows one and shape the cylinder you have drawn into a classic vase.Small Foot , spherical perfect and light.,like they taught us at Art school and about two decades of training.
What makes a person get up every day, and create. Create without thought of what others may think. And care less. To find inspiration from nature and ones own feelings and needs. To work in relative solitude and isolation. Necessary to create wonderful art. It is a unique individual. A person we call an Artist. There are many making works called art. But few will ever be artists. Mr. Batterham was the quintessential artist.
So, heartfelt ♥️

I moan about it and relatively speaking I'm not that old. I remember art books, Rubens, El Greco thrown in the skip at art school, many tutors down the pub. And that was the good times in the 90's. Now the kids are being taught gender, colonialism and a kind of ideology that's currently fashionable in academia. Skills are out the window, the patriarchy, and kids who can't be disciplined and resent authority, hard years of learning. Then there's rich kids, rather than working class kids coming through. Who can afford to study at the colleges in London where you need to be after graduation to get commissions? All tricky stuff. Great video and inspiring man in this film.
This is wonderful. Thank you for making it. Becca, @floandboo
I loved this film. What a wonderful man and potter.
Wonderful things. Did he have a respiratory problem? He continually puffs and wheezes.
This is great but I’d love to see more of the raw footage of his making.
Inspirational and beautiful 🫶🏻
This is a beautiful video but they are incorrect in claiming this is the last practicing apprentice of Bernard Leach. It might be true of his European apprentices but two of his American apprentices are still practicing in the U.S.: Clairy Illian and Jeff Ostreich. I hope this organization can add to this series by interviewing them too!
Have one of his teapots. Had a splash out on a birthday once. So touched seeing this movie.
So much valuable knowledge amongst all such craftspeople but where is the passing down of everything they have learned to others? The whole time I’m watching this film I’m thinking, all that knowledge and no one to carry it forward. My heart breaks to think of his studio one day coming to a stop because there is no one to keep it alive, to keep the knowledge and the skills alive. We are not where we are by accident. Artisans, please share what you know, your mastery is so valuable.
13:55 … In my studio potter days I once made a set of dinnerware for a customer. Delivered them and a few weeks later she called and was not pleased because “they didn’t fit in her dishwasher!” 😆😆😆 My immediate thought was “So?! I don’t make these to fit dishwashers! Wash them by hand!” Well, I didn’t say that… iirc I made her another set and a mental note not to make anything for her again!! 🤣
Actual video starts at 3:15
These guy gets it!! I must say
Very nice... Im the greatest living artist in the universe- k.o.f.
Thank you Richard Batterham is so inspirational to us practicioners. Get on and do what you do, not so much what you think you should do (even if its not the 1960's). Ceramic is a wonderful medium where all the makers, from the clay harvesters to the arty farty (me) electric kiln users are all interesting and helpful to each other.
Grateful to see this film, very insightful, beautiful wisdom x
He’s a funny guy. :)
i want to bully nigel slater
Extraordinary man !! I havent heard someone speaking so much sense for a long time! Such a loss.
Woww
My dream has been to learn how to lucid dream so I can have Richard teach me!! Gifted man !
Joanna?
His glazes are lovely and soothing!
Glad to see such passionate people and their love for what they do
May his soul rest in peace. Such an inspiring master for a young, beginner potter. Thanks for sharing.
The numbness in his fingers is medial nerve damage. It affects the first finger, thumb, & half of the middle finger. I have ulnar nerve damage, which causes numbness in the other half of the middle finger, & all of the ring & pinky finger on my right hand. The wrist to elbow area is sometimes painful when the hand & fingers act up.
Bless that man … an inspiration
I've learnt so much from this doc than I did in school.
Thank you.. ❤
Incredible man, craft and documentation. Thank You!
Hi Swaroopa 🙃
Lovely film but your intro here needs correcting. John Bedding is still practicing as a ceramicist in St Ives and was an apprentice of Bernard Leach in the 1960's and 1970's.
My word, Slater is a pompous Pratt.
A true piece of pottery allows for no ostentation. This is why rings should not be worn when holding a piece, especially a tea bowl, because it taps against the piece and blocks one's connection with it.
Oh... You are a true master. Big respect
I went to Richard's pottery about 25 years ago and bought a teapot and a jug, what a gentleman he was, and what a great loss he will be. R.I,P. Richard Batterham, you will be missed.
You know, I saw this film several times in the past few years. And every time it moves me. I am a bit of a potter myself since the early 70ies. Semi professional and passionately. Seventy two now and I know how time slips away. Comporting to know how such a giant as Richard kept on going on such a high level. Greetings to all potters from the Netherlands.
Greetings Gerard!....from the Catskills Upstate New York. Student of Susan Beecher woodfire potter here in the mountains! Wonderful film!
Very well said I sold all my equipment last summer after 30 years of having it I started in the early 70’s because of a divorce what the hell was I thinking? Biggest mistake of my life now looking again for equipment it’s going to cost a lot and will never have what I had .
Greetings to you as well from the US. Began throwing in my latter 50’s. 68 now. Indeed, time moves by quickly. All the best regards.
@@nickacoutin2505I “retired” from pottery in the late ‘90’s after moving to another city with all my supplies and equipment but never seemed to be able to find studio space so it’s all been sitting in my garage since then taking up a lot of space! I will probably sell it all in the next year or so EXCEPT the kickwheel I built 30 years ago modeled after the Leach triangular frame treadle wheel. That I will never sell, it is dear to me!!
So much valuable knowledge amongst you all, where is the passing down of everything you have learned to others? The whole time I’m watching this film I’m thinking, all that knowledge and no one to carry it forward. My heart breaks to think of his studio one day coming to a stop because there is no one to keep it alive, to keep the knowledge and the skills alive. We are not where we are by accident. Please share what you know, your mastery is so valuable.
Art within a lines....
Vous êtes un Grand magicien, félicitations avec toute mon admiration
Beautiful film, thank you 🙏 rest in peace Richard ❤️
Potter excellent, commentary pretentious bollocks!
This is one of the best potter films I've seen. Richard Batterham is among just a handful of potters working in this kick wheel slow full of feeling way of making pots. Our modern world is so fast and chaotic and his pots are a breath taken to ground ourselves and really feel something. His shapes are so true and full of life and his glazes are soft and inviting and gentle on the eyes. I've only seen his pots from afar, but I imagine holding them would be a lifetime of gratitude and pottery making education about form, function, surface and life itself. Very well done.
Maravillosas piezas.
