Sometimes you watch something and you find yourself watching it for a third time because you’re trying to figure out how it was made. That’s what happened when we watched the Adam Buxton’s ‘Pizza Time’ Visualiser. It looks like it’s handmade, but surely it’s not, it can’t be, that’s too much work! Then the algorithm did something unexpected, it showed us a video from Guy Larsen, the artist that made the visualiser, showing how they made the video. And you won’t believe it, it was handmade…

Tattoo artist, John Mcalary, based at New Rose Tattoo, has opened a new pottery studio in Otley called North Pottery. It’s a charming space where you can book classes and courses.
John has been doing a creative job most of his career, he’s been tattooing for more than 12 years, but around 4 years ago he was looking “for another creative outlet that wasn’t related to my work.” 
That’s when John saw an advert for a pottery class, “I decided to sign up. It was my first experience on the wheel. Soon after, I bought a wheel, set up the studio at home and kept throwing.”
