Frank's world, Nothing crazy about what I said its basic English that a 4th grader should understand. Man in this case is short for humanity itself not just the male of the species. A craftsman is a person who performs craftsmanship. Saying craftswoman is equivalent to saying she either cannot perform craftsmanship, or is not a member of the human race, because of her gender.
This was lovely. I learned something new and I really enjoyed the video. The editing was great; I always understood what was going on. The narration was just enough without being too verbose. The music was subtle and added to the mood without being distracting. And, it was great to watch such a skilled artist. I could watch this kind of thing all day
wow i always wondered how they made the hollow straw part , i assumed they used a straw from the fields roll the clay around and it and it would burn away , as an amateur potter cant wait to give this a go one day, you are very skilled , i know my ancestors made these here in stoke , would like to make a modern version.
@@morganolfursson2560 Why does that matter? The video is about the method, not the inventors. If I showed you how to drive a horse, would you object to me not giving credit to ancient Egyptian charioteers?
@@morganolfursson2560 I don't know much about Chinese history but the Qing dynasty began in the 17th century.The earliest puzzle jug discovered in England dates from c. 1300 and was made in France.
@@fdsdh1 The Exeter puzzle jug may come from france but the earliest 益智酒具 which is Chinese for puzzle jug or puzzle vessel or trick vessel depending on how you read the ideogram , were excavated in China and are 1400 years old . The French "invented" or should i say, discovered , the Puzzle Jug thanks to the italians and conveniently enough soon after Marco Polo came back to Europe from China , bringing back a lot of ceramic , including the very prized very mysterious Porcelain , which name is of Italian origin Porcellana cowrie shell because it resembled the shell in material, texture hardness and shininess to the Italians. Then after the French , the dutch started making puzzle jugs m then the Brits and both the Dutch and Brits and even the French had jug order made in China in the city of Jingdezhen which is the birthplace of porcelain , during the Qing dynasty . But it was nothing new to the Chinese who had been making these for centuries . I am not saying the French the Brits and the Dutch didn't have the skills to make these and some of the European trick jugs are VERY clever , i am just saying that the concept and the idea is Chinese . But it doesn't change a thing to how beautiful and clever the western puzzle jugs are .
I had no idea there was such a thing as a puzzle jug! This ceramicist is obviously awesome, I am totally amazed! Such work with just a material that comes directly from the earth. Such beauty, such talent... Aren't museums and the people working there just outstanding???? They bridge the past with the present and secure a wonderful future bringing people together to admire the glorious beauties of the past! Respect! 💖👏🏻🙏🏻🎨🏛
If that isn't the coolest water jug I've ever seen I don't know what is!!! It's just so awesome a nd so cool, and you did such a wonderful job of creating it and explaining what you were doing and how you did it...all the more awesome and cool!!! I'm almost stunned especially in that the whole thing was hand made instead of machine made by some intricate process, ESPECIALLY in how you created the hollow handle and lip and exactly why and how and then even explaining the "secret"!!! I absolutely loved it all!!! You have yourself a happy first time viewer and definitely a new sub, in me!!! Job WELL DONE!!!
Always a delight to watch a skilled artist at work and describe their craft. I've no clue why this video from 2015 just popped up as a suggestion, but it was a delight.
Wow! Watching the jug's making was just absolutely fascinating to watch. I did just one semester of ceramics back in my art school / major days--while originally intimidated by the potter's wheel (thinking I'd be happier just coiling or molding with slabs) I came to love it, though hardly having the skill here. But it certainly gives me a desire to try pottery again one of these days. Excellent video. Thanks for posting it!
I don't know when I noticed it but the sound of the pottery wheel maybe try 1:20 sounds like a backtrack of kids conversing, maybe during their recess or something. Kinda creepy.
That is so pretty and different. I like it. I think I might enjoy pottery making so I'm toying with the idea. It looks like an expensive hobby but I'll have to find out. You're very skilled and accomplished. Thank you.
Interesting - wonder if you folks used headphones? I didn't even notice the voice/laughter sound in the music until you pointed it out. I thought the music box tune was very lovely, but listening closer is definitely a little unsettling. Creepy
Came here from The Great Pottery Throw Down season 2, the contestants are really nice and got good skills, also a healthy competition. I recommend it :)))))
LOve the glaze fit on your tin ... At Wetheriggs Pottery in Cumbria we used to make these in red "Slipware" with slip trailed decorations .. These ,Salt Kits and Cradles were the highly decorated pots for sale .. I still love making Puzzle Jugs and here in New England Swichle Rings or Harvest Rings ... All the best , Guy " In this jug there is good liquor, Fit for Preast or Vicor, But to drink and not to spill ,will try the utmost of your skill.."
Oh my gosh, you are such an incredible artist, I've watched 2 of your videos now and I'm subscribing! Thank you so much for sharing, not that I'm going to try anything to this caliber yet, but you've inspired me, I want to go throw right now!
These videos are incredible, you are such a skilled artist and craftsman. Thank you for sharing your studio time.
biddypunk it's true I'm actually amazed by each and every One of them
CRAFTSWOMAN.
@@ughlwtmechangerhisthabks8349 that nonsense needs to stop you are essentially saying she does not do as good a job as a craftsman
@@Ho1yhe11 lol you so crazy!

I just love watching her work - her eyes observing the piece, and her hand rendering
Exactly, you can _see_ her thinking
Love the delftware skull in the kiln, as well.
There is no such thing as delftware , it is just imitation of Chinese Jingdezhen .
What a beautiful thing, and her stunning skill looks so effortless

By THEY , you mean the Chinese right ? The one who invented it during the early Qing dynasty .

IKR?

Fascinating to watch you recreate such a jug. Such talent. Wonderful to see the finished jug, and how it works.
I never would imagine to use food coloring to make a sketch before using a cobalt stain design.
This mastery is so impressive! A pleasure to watch!
Well done content and direction as well as excellent VO and script. Thank you.
exceptional talent, excellent work! Bravo!
Great job Michelle!

*shh the pottery wheel is telling us it's story*
isn't it a bg sound? even after the wheel was shown, those sounds are still heard...

I have schizophrenia and the children noises really distracted me and had my hackles up.
That is so pretty and different. I like it. I think I might enjoy pottery making so I'm toying with the idea. It looks like an expensive hobby but I'll have to find out. You're very skilled and accomplished. Thank you.
Wow, you are so talented, I throw pottery and that is impressive, and the painting too. You made that look so easy! Of course master always do!
Wow, you are an amazingly skilled artist.
I think the letterings and the painted decoration are stenciled first. I'll be damned if I had to paint letters that perfectly again and again.
Amazing! Just amazing!
U have incredible skills!!! Love that hug!!!!😍😍
Beautiful work! I really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing!!
Utterly fascinating.
Ah, the cleverness and skills of the jug making… Artistry smartly dressed in brains. Thank you.
That is some serious skill there . . . very nice!
Loved your work! Awed! Didn't know a thing called puzzle jugs existed.
This is incredible!
Beautiful work.
the music freaks me out but this is beautifully produced
Totally - I thought I was hearing voices at first. WAAAAY too scary!
Extremely distracting, I wish they hadn't used it!
Interesting - wonder if you folks used headphones? I didn't even notice the voice/laughter sound in the music until you pointed it out. I thought the music box tune was very lovely, but listening closer is definitely a little unsettling. Creepy
You are brilliant!
beautiful work!
WOW, How talented are you that vase is so beautifully made your talent is incredible.
