Bel Holland: How I taught myself to throw pots and create a successful business

Описание: Bel taught herself to throw pots and has set up a successful business doing something she loves - what's stopping you?

In this video, Bel demonstrates throwing pots and describes how to make beautiful ceramics. It's about trial and error: and more importantly not being afraid to fail, but embracing failure as an absolute requirement to succeed.

Inspired by the picturesque Peak District where she lives, she experiments with different glazes. Success hasn't come from a book or a course she attended, but hours and hours of play and adventure, her secret is her love for what she does, and her devotion to creating ceramics that bring as much joy to those who use them as she had making them.

Listening to Bel, it's like listening to a seminar on mindfulness, the serenity of her studio and her delight in the most mundane and messy tasks involved in being a master potter. Not just the romance of sitting at a wheel but taking as much happiness from dipping glazes or immersing her arm in a bucket of cold water slip to recycle trimmed clay.
