My stomach dropped when the trimming tool gouged the bottom of the spout! Lovely to see the approach of using a kidney and controlled movements to trim up the top. Beautiful pieces.
My favorite part is the trimming. It’s so satisfying watching the excess come off in curls, leaving a beautiful piece. And I appreciate that the stoneware is not too heavy when it’s finished. As light as possible is so nice! Thanks for the wonderful video!
I have learnt so much from your videos, every Sunday there is something from your videos that I take away and implement in my practice. Just sharing with you that after 1.5 months of making cylinders, now with 400 grams I can achieve a little more than 4 inches of height everytime with consistent wall thickness. Thank you 😊❤
Great video, thanks. I would love to make pottery. I studied art at school many years ago. They had two wheels and a kiln, but for some reason they never let students go beyond coil pots. I think the teachers just used them themselves. One day I will find somewhere to try it.
So informative! Thanks so much! I’ve been watching your videos for ages now! It’s great that your following has grown so much, your videos are full of detail and I’ve learnt so much from you.
Hi Florian, teaching how to produce a spout - I like small pottery bowls and jugs with spouts and no handles - so this is a great insight for watching how to make spouts. 🌟T H A N K Y OU🌟
Glad you like them. Of course! I can only ever get about 3-4 pieces like it per firing and sometimes it works much better than others but I always try to get at least that many partly oxidised pieces per firing.
Oh! You studied in Ireland!!? Where abouts did you study if you dont mind me asking. I'm in art college here too, doing painting but we have a ceramics department too and I'm always tempted to sneak in
Could someone answer this, i was watching another video on potters (RUclips decided thats all I want to watch now) and it looked like they fired plates and bowls while stacked together, but it cut away and never talked about it more. is this possible when there isnt glaze? as they're all carefully placed not to touch eachother in Florian's videos?
Well.. you can stack them at the bisque firing stage and they won't stick together. You've just got to be careful how high you stack them. If you're glaze firing a stack of plates you can do so with shells stuffed with wadding in-between each, of just wadding, (wadding is a 50/50 mixture of china clay and alumina hydrate, very refractory and strong). But ultimately this means your plates will fire with remnants from the waddings/shells, which can look quite nice. If what you've seen is just a stack of plates fired together to 1250ºc plus then it could be that they were entirely unglazed and it was just bare clay touching each other, in that instance they won't stick but it also depends on what kind of kiln/firing they're exposed to. If you fired a stack of unglazed plates in an electric they may all come out unscathed but they could very easily warp and distort/crack if it's too tall. If you fired a stack in a soda/salt/wood kiln without any supporting waddings they'd all fuse together most likely and if you do the same in just a gas kiln I'd say they'd also most likely stick together but again, it also depends SO much on what type of clay you're using, the atmosphere you're firing in and the temperature to which you fire to. Sorry for the long answer but there's way to explain it easily!
@@floriangadsby no I love a detailed answer and that answers it perfectly, and i truly appreciate you taking the time to reply personally so thank you 😊
It can be but you need to fire it so it’s fully vitrified, meaning that water can’t permeate into it. Stoneware fired up to 1280°c is fine, as is porcelain but there can be issues with lower firing bodies and terracotta if not glaze is used.

Yeah that initial gauge was perhaps a bit much but thankfully it smoothed out okay. And thank you too of course!
This is my all time favorite piece, its the perfect vase

Great work Florian. You are immensely patient and talented. I also like the way you have kept your workplace studio so neat and tidy. 😊
Pottery truly is an art. High respect for anyone who makes these beautiful pieces 👍🏽
I just found your channel and have been binge watching all of your content your voice is so satisfying
I mean its incredible how he do this & how he centers!
so awesome!
Yay to Thomastown 😊 Beautiful forms. Thanks for the tips on throwing tall and narrow, appreciated
Great video, thanks.

Your videos are so inspirational. Thank you.
They are so beautiful 😍
I love your videos, they have a huge asmr potential.
Cheers! Well, if you look through my videos you'll see versions labelled with ASMR, which are the same videos but without any narration over them.
Wow, you are so so skilled at this, inspiring, thank you, Now Subscribed 👍😊
So informative! Thanks so much! I’ve been watching your videos for ages now! It’s great that your following has grown so much, your videos are full of detail and I’ve learnt so much from you.
Another great video! Thanks as always for sharing 😊
Awesome! So relaxing to watch and listen :)
정말 멋져요!!! It's really cool.

Great video! Thank you
I'm definitely getting a beefy cereal bowl from you at some point as long as they're pretty durable (I might buy 2 just so I have a backup lol).
love your videos
Thank you Claudia! :)
And that the things you make are amazing and very beautiful and lovely 😍❤️
Thank you so much Sara!
@@floriangadsby ❤
How do you come up with things to make? Like your creative process to make a new form? Love the vids!
thank you our pottery padre for the insightful video once again:D
really appreciate the effort you consistently put into these vids:)
I love your content! Can you tell me how tall these jars are?
Have you got plans for anymore partly oxidised pieces, Florian? I really liked the look of those jars
Glad you like them. Of course! I can only ever get about 3-4 pieces like it per firing and sometimes it works much better than others but I always try to get at least that many partly oxidised pieces per firing.
Superb very nice 👌
Absolutely love your informative videos! Could you please make a video on how to do repeat throwing?
Thank you very much Alisha. I certainly can, parts of it are filmed I just need to get around to editing it together and adding the narration.
Nice video
For me this... this is the ASMR version

Can you talk about your Glazes and Slips being used and Why ?

Super 👍
Do you speed up these videos? If so at what speed?
🙏🏻
So good
Thank you!
@@floriangadsby thanks also for entertaining us! Or you study me and us! To learn how to make from, clay
Big fan
Can you do a pouring video of them? So one can see the flow?
I wish I make like you 👍
I want to learn 😎
Hello, where can I buy a potter's wheel?
I was wondering if i can make tableware out of this clay without using glaze? Is it safe?
It can be but you need to fire it so it’s fully vitrified, meaning that water can’t permeate into it. Stoneware fired up to 1280°c is fine, as is porcelain but there can be issues with lower firing bodies and terracotta if not glaze is used.
Ayy. Love your videos. Are you from the USA? Anyways Love from Australia!!
Cheers! And no, I'm from the UK, London.
@@floriangadsby hi can you please give info on the course you done in Ireland?
What kind of clay you use?
Terracotta
Woooww
😍
If I could be 10% as proficient as you, I would be 100% a better potter! 😅
Does anyone else's mind go "elsewhere" watching him "coning"?
