Wonderful video. We are working closely with local potters here in Tajimi, a Japanese pottery town, and was happy to see a Shino piece. This place is where Shino came into being, which was highlighted by the famous Toyozo Arakawa. There is now a steady stream of foreign enthusiasts coming here to learn traditional techniques, I believe your work inspires them. Thanks again.
Fantastic video. I'm just starting to collect Japanese ceramics, and it's quite useful to get the perspective of a fellow collector. Tim obviously has a great feeling for display, scale and establishing synergies between/among works. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It is wonderful to know it is useful to you as you start your own collection of Japanese ceramics. Enjoy!
The aesthetic of the contemporary pottery was fundamentally very organic in basic form. But many of the expressions were highly developed and very sculptural. They were simply fascinating in the depth of artistic creation.
applause + "bravo" for including details on the artists. my past 12 years have been explicit prostitution, for '0' credit after thousands of hours in, creating similar 'micro-works'
What's pretentious about loving something and appreciating the pieces and honouring the artists? or having and sharing knowledge? it's a nice thing that people love things they love with genuine love of the field they love
Pottery pieces begged to be picked up. It's not picking them up that's a problem but how you pick them up. It seems impolite to pick up a tea bowl with one hand and only right and respectful to use two hands.
for future reference to people who think it's ok to just touch and pick up things other people own.. it is best to ask first before touching anyones art.. one guy i knew started running his fingers onto a scroll i had before i knew he was going to.. Very annoying.. ALWAYS ask if it's ok.. some people feel a deep spiritual connection to pieces they have, so to just touch and pick them up it's like suddenly touching their girlfriend in front of them..argh . does my head in.. what happened to manners and asking if it's ok?!!! edit: also for future reference it is NEVER ok to touch my girlfriend (if anyone ever wants me, apply in writing to Castle Hassall thankyou :)

Thank you ! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I send all best wishes for your work with potters in Tajimi.
As a painter and potter for over 50 years I'm not sure I would pick the same pots, but that's why we have the same background in both fields.
Paradise of pots. Beautiful and fascinating, Sophie - and the vessels aren't bad either.
Thank you Melanie, I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Perfect ! Perfect !
Thank you! I am delighted you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Sophie for another great video - I love the intimate style. Great ceramics and fascinating to see the variety of technique and style.
Lovely to hear, thank you!

Who would have known an Old Master paintings dealer collected Japanese ceramics?! so interesting Sophie. Really well done.
Sophie, Thank you for doing this interview, Unfortunately couldn't hear a word you said, Fortunately I could hear Tim Warner-Johnson.
Hownice

Love your videos
I am delighted to read this, thank you Yaniv. There will be more videos in the future!
Can you link some of the artists mentioned in this video? Thank you :)
look in the video description then use a search engine to find them if they are online..
The Thing that comes to mind is that this is a very pretentious world. Not for the Potters but for those reviewing their works. ❤

I wonder if you annoyed him by picking up some of the pieces 😄
Pots are made to be handled! As long as she didn't drop any hah

I think it’s very likely she asked permission before the interview started
