- This week I'm making a batch of stoneware, wheel thrown RAMEN bowls, from start to finish, for a collaborative video I filmed a few months ago with Alex, @FrenchGuyCooking. If you'd like to watch HIS video, where we actually use the bowls to eat ramen from and talk about their shapes, you can find it here: • My Dream Ramen Bowl Do...

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.
*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.

Thank you Florian for your precious help on this. Confession : I have watched a good load of your videos to try and improve my incredibly shameful throwing technique. It worked 😂
Now, I must say that seeing you in action IRL was even better, even more fascinating. Merci 🙏
I second that emotion!
This makes it a full circle. Florian makes bowls for Alex, Alex learns about coffee from James Hoffman who also shows Tom Scott about coffee, and Tom learns pottery from Florian
That's hilarious, and you know you're addicted to RUclips when you can immediately remember all the videos this guy is talking about
@@Eutrofication that's because I learned to cook with Alex during the pandemic, learned to brew coffee from James, learned linguistics long ago with Tom, and now I'm making pottery thanks to Florian!
🤣
Now Florian needs to make a coffee cup for James, and Alex needs to do... I dunno, something, with Tom. Maybe teach him about dried pasta, that seems like something Tom would like.
@@5thearth i believe James actually sells some ceramic merchandise like the dosing cup
I appreciate you noting that you’re not an expert in ramen bowls. To me, with no knowledge of pottery or ramen, I would’ve thought you were an expert. Your respect to the existing culture of ramen bowls is amazing.
This collaboration brings me joy.
Pleased you like it! Thanks for watching!
As an amateur potter, I REALLY appreciate all the detail you go into about your firing process. Also those macro photos are BEAUTIFUL! Looking forward to seeing more of those in the future!
The collab I never knew I wanted
I'm glad you think so! It was such a brilliant day and we ate SO MUCH tonkotsu. Thanks for watching!
thank u for making these videos@@floriangadsby
Absolute pleasure, thanks for taking your time to watch!
I second this motion and would love this to be a cool mini series
It's always weird when two people I'm subscribed to suddenly post collabs at the same time.
honestly i'm a both pleased and confused by this outcome
I definitely came here thanks to Alex. Always was intrigued by making stoneware but I am bamboozled by how much time and precision goes into these bowls. I have worked in fine dining and was always surprised by the prices of some plates, now I have a better understanding. :)
Oh my. When I was very young, my mother worked for a community college and I got to hang around the pottery shop. I had forgotten how much I LOVE this whole process, I am so glad I found you through Alex! I am inspired not just to watch more, but perhaps go take a pottery class some 50 years later 😁
historians are going to have an absolute field day with your notes and all your calculations. While I don't do pottery I absolutely love all these videos
the tenmoku bowls are unbelievably beautiful i definitely want some with that color
Yup, came here from Alex' video. This is an entirely new world to me, but it's always amazing to watch highly skilled artisans at work. On top of that, having a high-production video made about the process is just incredible and nothing to take for granted. There are most likely more skilled artisans out there who are also not good videographers (and why should they be really?) but here we have both.
Thanks a lot. I might very well come back.
I’ve been thinking about how you would approach making ramen bowls, so this video was a joy to find in my feed! I’m a little sad that you mentioned that such bowls probably won’t be part of your regular resupplies, but I totally understand your reasoning behind it.
Well, the thing is, I create lots of bowls that COULD very easily be used as ramen bowls - it's a strange feeling I have about creating them - and there are lots of potters who make fantastic ones! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the reply! I guess I need to cross my fingers that I’m able to snag a bowl in the ≈21cm range then 😊 I’m enjoying the video a lot, thanks!
It's kind of you to think my time is precious, when in fact I just enjoy listening to expert craftsmen explain their craft. Great video
That glaze is gorgeous! The zoomed into the bowl to see the crystals was magnificent. I love how glazing any piece you make even more beautiful and sometimes a wonderful surprise.
I'm about half way through this video. There is a lot of skill, care, and attention to detail is every minor step. I was under the impression that a lot of the cheaper ceramic bowls were made en masse in a factory using modern machinery. I'm not so sure that is the case anymore. I've always had an appreciation for the beauty of ceramics and that has only grown by seeing how they're made. Well done. Your years of experience have made you incredibly skilled in this beautiful craft.
0:52 the single most polite entry into the imperial/metric wars I have ever heard or seen :D
The straight-sided bowls are stunning.
The temmoku, though a bit thin, turned out beautifully, imo. i love where it pooled and broke over the rims and edges in your bowl... one of my favourite glazes, I think you really did it justice, Florian! TYSM!
Came here from Alex's video... Could not be happier to find another craftsman as dedicated to getting a project just right. So satisfying to watch!
This was completely fascinating. Thank you for the meticulous explanation of your creative process.
Unreal, Florian you are an amazingly talented maker.
I love the finished glaze. The macro shots remind me of Lichen!
Man, you can hear the Avenger's theme rising up as Florian and Alex approach each other
I believe this is my first ceramics video on youtube. Thank you Alex and Florian for broadening my horizon.
It is an addictiv genre.
Great collaboration. I was wondering, what if you did the straight bowl, but about 2cm from the top, you have a straight angle out/ or flair it out. This would mark the soup line, where soup ends and toppings would start. The flair would allow for toppings that are intended to stay dry longer to rest on. This would also work well for stews that needs condiments as that could rest on the flared out lip. For example a pot de feu where mustard could be dabbed on the edge for dipping.
These bowls are absolutely gorgeous.
Brother. It is a true pleasure watching videos on the work you do. It is a true pleasure to se you up load, grab a cup of coffee sit back relax and enjoy a new video from you! Thank you brother.
I adore the burnt umber color of your tenmoku glazed bowls. Tenmoku seems to be a glaze that can have some really wild effects overall.
I have been subscribed to both Alex's and your channel for a lone time now! So happy to see such a great melding of the two interests. Thank you for the content and keep up the good work.
The green ones are gorgeous
Gorgeous work as usual, Florian! Absolutely love the contrasting Tenmoku glaze that compliments your classic green crackle glaze beautifully!
very nice video and really fun collaboration between two amazing creators
Would you ever consider an overview video about the quirks and advantages of the different clays? You mentioned terracotta and it was fascinating. Great bowls as usually by the way.
41:18 I didnt expect myself to watch it all, but in the end, truly, thank you for work, the video, the insights, commentary and showing us the barest of depths of what goes into the artistry of pottery. I felt, sentimental, bittersweet? for some reason, towards the end of the video. Lovely work.
Those macro shots of the crystals in the glaze were fascinating.
For me the variation in color was more interesting than if the bowls were the almost black of a typical temmoku.
I love watching a pro at work!Somebody that knows their craft, and still admits the happy accidents
New sub coming over from Alex‘s channel
I am very impressed about your art. Thank's for showing.
Sharing knowledge is such a beautiful thing to do, thank you Florian 💜
I’ve been subscribed for a while now, this was such an unexpected and welcome collaboration.
Got the video recommended after watching Alex's video, I am amazed by your work, I had no idea about the work that went into making bowls. It is truly amazing to watch an expert working in his field ! Thanks for video and opening my mind to this art !
They are all a glorious colour the brown is a stunning colour, the bowel you did as a one off in this firing is just beautiful, thanks for the whole process, explained in just enough detail without mind bogling over kill. I just love the calm that surrounds the whole process. Thankyou
Bowel should say bowl sorry,
Congrats on the collab, and thank you for such a detailed video! I absolutely loved the sound of the pieces cooling when you opened the door for the final time, it reminds me of the sound of a good loaf of bread cooling. Amazing work, thanks for sharing!!
I came across your video first, but of course went right over to see @FrenchGuyCooking's ... I loved both!
Gorgeous colour on the bowls
It's incredible how you make this perfect bowls and the amount of work there is in the process, I love this!!
Thank you for your video. It was superb. I was particularly impressed by your narrative (voice-over), which kept to the point. Your diction is a rare treat. (My wife likes your voice btw). It takes great skill to explain the nuances of the potter's craft without becoming obscure, but you use video to illustrate your words. I laughed out loud when you stacked the bowls upside down on top of each other to demonstrate the consistency of the work. It looks like you are expert in more than just manifesting beautiful pots.
Wow. It was absolutely amazing to watch both of the videos. I had no idea how the process looks like. Respect and thank you.
Patience , craftsmanship And hardwork ..
Captivating as always. Thank you!
The crackling sounds almost magical to me. Lovely outcome you got there mate
This is awesome. Ive always wanted to try out pottery etc, but its always been to daunting. Excellent explanation about the processes on how you do that the correct way. As someone else noted. A collaboration i didn't know i needed. Thank you sir! Hope everyone is taking care.
I really loved the clean-up outro here. Nice touch, has something ritualistic.
I am speechless! Well done! Video and art medium were beautifully produced! Thank you
It's so much fun to see two of my favorite channels collaborate. Those bowls are spectacular.
I am astounded! Such skill and beauty!
such beautiful work! the glaze you used for the bowls is so rich and gorgeous.
I'm glad Alex sent me here. This is mesmerizing!
This is simply brilliant. I need this in my life.
Those a really nice looking bowls. Seeing some cultural pottery was interesting creating something that has not just a use but history.
beautiful collab and even more beautiful bowls! much love 💗
Your videos are truly an inspiration!!! Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful explanations. Also, your videos are beautifully shot. I'm a fan :)
Came from Alex's video, beautiful craftsmanship! really enjoyed watching, thank you!
Breathtaking. I wish i could have one of these to look at and love.
learned a ton from watching this, wow - thank you so much for this video and your beautiful work!
Those macro views of the glaze were beautiful! Such interesting reactions. I just watched Alex’s video and it was so fun to see both you and your studio from a different perspective. Thank you for sharing.
that color reminds me of some wooden snack bowls my aunt has for nuts or popcorn almost that exact color
This was really really nice to watch.
Amazing
I came here via Alex’s video. Watching your process was fascinating. Your art is beautiful.
Here from Alex's Channel :)
有り難うございます、フロリアン様！日本東北から宜しく！
Thank you for your demo and I love ramen!
Ah the bonus video you spoke of. Great colab but hmm now i want ramen lol.
I'm a big fan of Alex but I found your channel completely separately lol. Very nice videos!!
that marbal test is what Getty museum used to make some pots a tipping point for certain tectonic plate acton
I follow both channels. Never thought about a collaboration. Great!
I was your subscriber before Alex and you collabed.😊
When you pulled the first of the glazed bowls out of the kiln the beauty of it made me tear up. 🧐 🤭 *thx*
I am awed by your talent; and have subscribed coming over from Alex!
omg so cool! i don’t think i’ve ever seen your work with food in it before lol
these are totally beautiful bowls I have a couple of mass produced ramen bowls that are most similar to the first bowls you made but i tthink i would prefer to eat from the third bowl you made imho that deep warm brown created when you water down the glaze is so gorgeous amnd would fast become my favourite autumnal bowl if i owwned one.
The curve in the curved bowl is called the double bent plane. It can be seen quite clearly in leaves and all living things. It's because of this plane that movement is possible in both animal and men. It can be seen in the wrist. The plane is very special and is an indicator of life forces. Its meaning in fact is very deep.
thank you
I want Florian Gadsby ramen bowls!! 😮
You should make a clay drum shell. Using a free floater snare that you can swap the shells
Hasil karya yg sangat bagus,cara membuat nya sangat bermanfaat
Woo!
Just a reminder: when compensating for the shrinkage rate, you simply divide the target number by the ratio between the final and initial size of the shrinkage test tile. In this case it means dividing by 0.88, which is equivalent to multiplying by 1.136.
I have to remember that - maths was never my strong point - I'll jot it on the blackboard I'll eventually get in my studio...
@@floriangadsby
The good thing is that it makes the calculations easier, at least nowadays when we have tools that can do division at the press of a button. If you had to do it by hand, you’d probably figure out the inverse once and write it down to use for all future calculations.
I discovered your channel last week and was happy to see you on his channel.
I'd buy a ramen bowl from you if you sold them.
As always absolutely beautiful work. And definitely a tricky subject to photograph! Do you use any kind of polarizing lens filter to try and cut down on reflections? Or would that make them look too flat, perhaps?
Yes I came over 😂😂😂
your indentation bowl is precious. i would buy it. please produce it
Fantastic collab! Do you just know from experience how much you can trim from the sides, or do you apply pressure?
Thank you! With time you gain experience and sort of know how much you can trim away. You gain information at the throwing stage and when handling the pot when leather hard. Every time I pick the pot up I access the weight, even if it's subconsciously.
the crackling noises when you opened the gas kiln are very anxiety inducing
Hi! I am curious to know the finished weight and dimensions of your lovely bowls? Would you mind sharing? Wonderful video as always. Thank you so much for all you out out into the world.
Would you be able to share the design w/ measurements of these bowls?
is there a video where you let us hear the clinking of the fresh pottery without voiceover? not necessarily this lot but any ?
You can watch the 'ASMR' version of this video I've uploaded to my RUclips channel. It's a longer edit without the voice over.
12:45 forbidden salami
I noticed one piece in the glaze firing was already glaze fired. I was curious what you were doing with that piece.
Is the clay just straight out of the bag Earthstone from Scarva with no further blending?
