I love the skill that goes along with the artistry. He does all his own work and doesn't have a string of people realising his vision. That skill can only be achieved by long hours of work. It takes him back to the Arts and Crafts era which inspires me most.
i really like what he said about looking at your work and saying "that'll do" cos i so often feel like every piece has to be better or at least almost the best thing i've ever made. you know you think you have to be getting better every time. but it's always just practice, forever. perspective is good.
Grayson Perry is one of the most diverse artists of the 21st century - this guy really 'gets' it. Love, love, love...and his exhibition int he RA this year was spectacular. Brilliant!!!!
Until this bollocks year of 2020, I didn't know much - didn't think much - of Grayson Perry. It seemed pottery was indeed his "gimmick', along with his transvestism, that he was famous and gushed about for the show he put on, not the work he did. One of my lockdown silver linings (and we've been much better off in Canada, but still...) has been to really discover Grayson and his work - as a maker of art and documentary. Those who are balking at his recent interview reference to "dead wood" need to not only read that entire interview but also to see and hear this one. I don't think he's changed or gentrified or become all that much more part of the elite, because for him - like many - it comes to the down to the work, from start to finish. Hope to see it, and the Tate, in person some day... Good luck with Lockdown 2.0
Thankyou but you’re missing the point and I’m glad you’re sharing with me. You make great points too. However I’m saying if you make things just beautiful. People won’t give it second thought and not consider other meanings. Art is visual, Art is beautiful and having some ideas (messages/personal story) in it as well. Makes it last longer with people but also generations to come.
Grayson Perry is just excellent, honest and down to earth, I admire that in his work and himself.
He doesn't take himself seriously at all and because of that he's a more serious artist than most working today. Love him.

dunno how you could possibly dislike like this man. what a nice personality and gorgeous work!
"...an exercise in controlled disappointment..." Sounds like my entire life! Grayson = top bloke.

Grayson is beyond fabulous. He has a gentle Heart which is a truly wonderful asset.

So glad I study three of his artworks (Huhne Vase, 'I am a man' and Object in the Foreground) for my Art History A-Level course, he's a top bloke.
his hair is EVERYTHING
My favourite modern artist and a top bloke. What more could you ask for?
3:44 Last year I was in Castelli and discovered the old potters there always had shrines near their kilns.
i like this guys no mess style, no misinterpreted bullshit. just raw beauty.
I am in love with this guy
This human being is a modern philosopher... thanks for exist
Glad you like the film!
Thanks for share

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, and for watching the video. We hope you can visit someday too!
He feels like an artistic interpretation and incarnation of Spinal Tap, and that is just awesome
Exercise in controlled disappointment...so true!
He is amazing ❤️
The opening sentence said it all.
Excellent! I love studio visits
I really love his work!
I just love this video so much man.
Art is about ideas not just beauty.

LOVE HIM. So much.
I need an invitation to visit this studio .I really like what I am seeking and hearing . Thank you for sharing.
Seeing
The goddess💚
I love Grayson Perry!
I've always loved Grayson and his work even though I almost completely disagree with a lot of his views on art. Undeniable genius either way.
@RockalilyDunne
Thanks so much - I love studio visits too
Very educational :)
Fancy bumping into you here!
Yes!!
i like him
He's Mad! Awesomely so......
'I don't want to visit auntie Perry!'
Nice video...nice man.
Good ceramics!
What was that last thing he said? I couldn't make it out.
Eduardo Enriquez Hi Eduardo, he says that most artists get on in the art world because they put in the hours, and they're nice to work with!
That was my guess, ha ha. Fanx!
where are you from?!
❤
Putting in the hours..
TO THE LLUSTRISSIMO'S, DON'T DO THAT TO THE LESS FORTUNATE AGAIN.
You think your gimmick is pottery. Ooooo...K......... lol
anyone can be this guy.
♡💋💐
Hilarious!
When pots go wrong, such is life, dear man.
This is what happens when your kids give you a haircut.
Ha ha...small world Andrew...!!
Lies. Your haircut is your gimmick.
"that will do" - not something I expect a great artist to say
everything isn't going to be perfect. especially w/ pottery. you have to accept what happens. "acceptance is true happiness. all else is suffering."
Art is never finished, it is abandoned. Perfectionism is constipating.
Sure - "pottery" is your gimmick not dressing as a woman
I don’t like Grayson’s way of misinterpreting Zen.
Can I have that 5 minutes of my life back please? This was about as fascinating and insightful as one of his pots
Let's hope she converts to Islam and gets to wear the bag.
