Really appreciate you giving Florian space to talk without interruptions. Hard to find these days. I watched this over a few days while throwing and it was an absolute pleasure to have heard yall chat. Thanks a ton!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and listen! We appreciate it ✨
agree. such a respectful discussion between artists! i loved this on florians channel and now im excited to follow the we are makers channel too 😍 intrigued by their concept
I find your narrations very pleasant to listen to Florian, but I’m well aware that very little narration is done in one take. I am also an introvert however I’m weird in that, I don’t find speaking in public difficult at all. I can do it cold, but I’m well aware that even some extroverts have issues with public speaking. You are perfectly clear and understandable here tho….and don’t take people going to sleep to your voice in the wrong way. It’s not that you’re boring, it’s that you do have a nice vocal timbre and tone. Take it as a compliment. I watch your videos because I love watching creative people “do their thing” and understanding their thought process with regard to their work. I am extremely unlikely to ever throw a pot(tho I wouldn’t say no to learning) but creating is creating in the end.
Big Brother ]Florian SWORE... Multiple times! I feel closer to you my friend.
Thanks for your consistency and hard work. It's always helpful and a great pleasure to watch your videos Florian!
Amazing, Florian. I love your tutorials/posts. And i think you do, despite your extreme care and attention to your social media craft,(appreciated!), you do sneak through with your humility and sweetness. It is charming.
(And let me remind you, re folks liking your work, your sale went in seconds!)
Thank you.
What a phenomenal interview. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck with the book tour, Florian! I am sure folks will be excited to meet you!
We are really glad you enjoyed our interview, thanks for watching! - K&J
What a wonderful conversation! Super inspiring and fun to listen to!
This is so crazy I got into pottery with the great pottery thrown down in 2021!! I guess I must have stopped watching just before you starred in it as I found you completely separately from the show. It’s not too easy watching the show in the US, but I’ll try to access the one channel it was available on so I can watch your feature as well.
This was great! Thank you for sharing this conversation.
Really glad you enjoyed our chat! Thanks for watching 😍✨
This was awesome. Also…I kind of love the idea of having 2 different pottery instagram accounts with 2 totally different styles 😂 That would actually be so cool, and would satisfy the part of me that wants to do a completely different style sometimes. It would be very difficult to manage 2 accounts though 😅
Thank you for watching and listening Melissa! 😍 yeah I know, maybe one day?! ✨
What is the name of the japanese aluminum artist who made the bookend Florian referenced?
Jiro nagase
Thanks! Love the Podcast@@weare_makers
So great. Thankyou! Love the passion for metal. Access to quality making for silversmiths in Australia is non existent. All conceptual. So this was incredible to hear and you didn't give up thankfully. Great interview. Hopefully we get the book in Aus! It sounds amazing. 🙏
What was his dad’s instagram account name?
Hi John, I’m not sure I’ll ask him next time we see him and get back to you.
