Always here until the end. I think these beginning to end videos of yours are my favourites. It's very satisfying to see the results of your labour. I think your design aesthetic is lovely
How can anyone not sit until the end… I am addicted to your videos and work, and have learnt from you so much to improve my work. Thank you for the hours you put in to create them.
I always watch your videos to the end. I find them incredibly relaxing and educational at the same time. It's lovely to see the finished product. I also love to see you cleaning your work space.
Cleaning has always got to be done! The end clip tidying the wheel has become a sort of ritual... thanks for taking your precious time to sit through and watch!
I have just almost finished my beginner level wheel throwing class and I have learned so much more from you than my teacher. :) I switched over to using your finger placements and it has worked real well for me. The studio I have been going to also uses a reduction kiln so it was neat to see yours in action. My first 8 pieces have just come out and the glaze looks nice. My only complaint was that I placed it on too thin because they made me so paranoid about the $50 charge for an item sticking to the kiln shelf. My colors were just not as bright as I would have preferred. I do like the iron spots and such that the reduction firing seems to bring out. Thanks for your vids! I appreciate you.
I love your explanations, they are clear and insightful ! Coming from a teacher I can tell you you have a gift for passing on knowledge. THANK YOU for your generosity of information
I love watching all the way through. I really enjoy seeing the whole process. I just started to learn how to throw pottery. Your videos have been really helpful answering some of my questions.
Your forms are beautiful! I do like the slight bevel on the lid that you noted while trimming. One more aesthetic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Always watch the video’s to the end. Thanks for again a very nice video, I’m learning so much every time. And I love the colour of your glaze. Greetings from Liesbeth in the Netherlands.
I really like the soft easy cadence of your teaching style. I love the detail of the thought process and self critique. I’m a new potter of about a year and because of you I now have my own glaze lab, wheel and kiln. I been more adventurous watching your creations and am having a great time. Thanks so much for the work you put into sharing what you do.
The most inspirational potter that I know. I've learned immense amounts of information from you with your content. I've commented this so many times before, yet with every video I learn more, bettering myself as a potter and an artist. So thank you for your obvious hard work, just know that it has paid off in the influence it has given to another potter looking to make this his career. Thanks man. edit: I did in fact sit through to the very end:)
Absolutely watched through to the end. Its five months since my first pottery class and I'm at the point where your videos are especially helpful as I can take in the finer details that you so carefully cover. Thank you!
Nice prepared and explained as always. Yes, I was here until the end 😊 Is there a particular reason why you never (except for bowls) make round shapes? Or is it just personal preference? I really like your clean lines and straight walls, but when I make pots they are never straight, always curved even my mugs are goings outwards on the top. I tried straight-walled mugs. I like looking at yours, but I don‘t like using mine, it‘s just not my „Cup of tea“ Have the gas prices affected the UK as much as Europe’s Center?
Thank you! Well, I suppose it's just my style, personal preference, simple as that. As a potter/maker it helps carving out a style that's recognisable as yours and that is a tremendously hard task as there's such a vast variety of styles and shapes one could choose to make. So, I set limitations for my shapes and it does to some degree help make my range/style more recognisable, I think. Everyone has their own 'cup of tea' and that's what makes the world of ceramics so interesting, variety is the spice of life. As for gas prices - yes, it's going to be hard but thankfully my income from TH-cam does help cover costs to some degree, I just hope it settles back eventually...
I always watch your video till the end, you explain very well and there are so many things to learn. I watch again and again the same video as a beginner. One day, I would like to make jar this big and beautiful. Thanks for the many tips!!
Have you tried doing two jars as one jar? Like, what if that rim around the middle was the seam for a lid into another jar on the bottom. 3 pieces, 2 jars, 1 lid.
30:20 Of course I watch through. I love watching the process while working on other things. It does make me wish I tried throwing as I only did hand building ceramics. I'd love to know how you do self care, such as keeping your hands from drying out, posture, and any soreness.
another fantastic video which manages to balance information and aesthetic satisfaction so well. I'd be interested to know more on the economics of being a potter, have current events affected your work, for example if gas is becoming more expensive, do you rethink what forms you want to fire based on the financial return?
Well, here is one who watched your video to the end. And now on to the next one! Thank you being so generous with your knowledge and making such beautiful videos!
Thanks for another wonderful video, Florian! I’m curious to know how you and other production potters and clay artists will face the winter months of increased energy costs. I’m afraid it’s going to affect us all, but of course you can’t make pottery without it. Anyway, keep up the wonderful work, and thanks again! -Anastasia in Greece via California
Me too - shame they take so many months to put together and it's also a shame I'm not firing so much lately due to my other ongoing secret project, sorry to tease! More longer walk throughs soon! (And thank you too of course)
Good job. And so relaxing to watch. Naturally I watch from start to finish. As a filmer it would be disrespectful not to and you sit…. deserve my respect. Thanks a bundle Rosie
FYI - Warning to all. I received a notification that I won a collection of Florian's pieces here in the comments. They asked me to pay $50 shipping. I assumed it was a scam, so please be careful. Something that comes across as too good, is usually too good to be true. :)
It is indeed a scam! I’ve blocked that user and deleted the comments. I will NEVER do a competition where I ask you to pay anything, and any giveaway I do will always be accompanied by a post on Instagram or a video here. Sorry this happened though and I hope no one fell for the scammers ploy - it’s crazy the lengths people will go to in order to scam people…
I love watching your process. Yes, I always watch through to the end. Fascinating. And thank you for explaining as you go, although the ASMR versions are also enjoyable.
What a thoroughly enjoyable video. You are such a patient teacher and I love to watch. Might I ask if the L-shapped trim tool you used is a Bison tool. Thank you
Thank you for showing the whole process. It's really fun to watch you work. This jar form is intriguing. I wonder what it would look like if the angle at the top of the jar could be matched by an opposite angle on the lid. Idk, but it would be an interesting thing to try someday. Definitely great work as always, and thanks again for sharing your expertise!
It's great watching you work, thank you for sharing. I've just started throwing bigger pots, mainly jugs and planters but seeing your approach to the lid of the jar makes me want to give it a go. I've been reading 'Throwing Pots' by Phil Rogers which is a great resource for similarly practical and welcoming advice.
Of course i was there 'til the end! Absolutely riveting. I like to watch you the night before a studio session/class. This one was beautifully involving. Many things to watch/watch for. Thnx much.
As always, so inspiring and watched until the end. I’ve been learning the wheel for the past 6 months and find turning and trimming so satisfying. Thank you for the detailed videos. They have been the best learning source - recycling and wedging in particular. I love that working with clay is not a wasteful pursuit; so much better for the environment and our waste-inducing society. I’d like more on making glazes please (although I’m not really at that stage yet but find the chemistry interesting 😊).
Every video of yours I see I watch it until the end, they're so calming. If I need to take a nap and calm myself I put one (or more) of your videos until I fall asleep. I also watch your videos when I'm having a calm day and want to relax while doing crafts or snuggling with my cat.
Excellent and inspiring. When I watch these videos I always hope to take away one or two things I will try in the studio. This video makes me want to be more mindful about every part of the process and every part of the work, even those that won’t usually be seen. Thank you.
I am brand new to the pottery process and I keep watching your videos over and over in hopes I absorb some of your knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing
I learn so much from every one of your videos! You have such a calm demeanor and really explain the “why” of your process well. Thank you for taking the time to make these.
Watching these videos inspires me to become more involved in pottery. These large pots are particularly inspiring as they remind me very much of some pieces my Mother had while I was growing up. Thank you so much for sharing your work in such detail.
I started out last year in ceramics and not long after I found you. You've been an inspiration to me this past year and I've come to really admire your work ethic and discipline when working with your pots. Its a practice I've tried myself and its helped me keep clean, steady, and efficient. Love seeing the work every week. Keep it up Florian :)
Watching your videos and listening to your commentary is so meditative, like a really good book. I love pottery and cannot wait to afford to buy my own wheel. Your channel is very inspiring.
I absolutely love all of your videos! They're so relaxing + they're informative. I've never done pottery and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon but love listening to you explain it
I swear you are like the Bob Ross of pottery. Please keep doing what you're doing 😊
I love how you go over the full process in each video! Very relaxing.
Just wait! There'll be a new dimension to upcoming videos soon... if it works.
Always here until the end.
I think these beginning to end videos of yours are my favourites. It's very satisfying to see the results of your labour. I think your design aesthetic is lovely
Thank you Holly... so happy reading that, appreciate you spending your precious Sunday watching 🙌🏼

I'm always here to the end. I have learned so much from your instructional videos. Thank you.
Thank you Sharon - that really means so much. I hope you liked this video!
I always watch your videos to the end. I find them incredibly relaxing and educational at the same time. It's lovely to see the finished product. I also love to see you cleaning your work space.
Cleaning has always got to be done! The end clip tidying the wheel has become a sort of ritual... thanks for taking your precious time to sit through and watch!
I can watch a video of yours, numerous times, from start to finish, and each time I learn something new or anew. Thank you
I have just almost finished my beginner level wheel throwing class and I have learned so much more from you than my teacher. :) I switched over to using your finger placements and it has worked real well for me.

I was just about to go make some lunch but I saw a Florian upload. Now I'm stuck here :P
Hypnotic pottery - you must watch the pot spin.
(thanks for watching though, very thankful to have such a wonderful audience here)
That was a beautiful colour of glaze
Your. Videos are so detailed, that I could sit for hours watching them! I have learned and improved so much since following you, thank you
I love your explanations, they are clear and insightful ! Coming from a teacher I can tell you you have a gift for passing on knowledge. THANK YOU for your generosity of information
I love watching all the way through. I really enjoy seeing the whole process. I just started to learn how to throw pottery. Your videos have been really helpful answering some of my questions.
Very interesting and we explained. Thank you. I stayed to the end. :-)
love seeing the glaze come out in the end, such a beautiful color!
Made it to the end!! The pot is beautiful!
Your forms are beautiful! I do like the slight bevel on the lid that you noted while trimming. One more aesthetic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
It’s always a true pleasure to watch your videos! You are one of the few potters who inspired me and still do! 🙌
You are an inspiration - thanks!
I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. You do such beautiful work.
As always an excellent video showing all parts of the creative process. Well done
I do like the way they look after Glazed
Always watch the video’s to the end. Thanks for again a very nice video, I’m learning so much every time. And I love the colour of your glaze. Greetings from Liesbeth in the Netherlands.
Florain Gadsby, I have trouble centering large amounts of clay sometimes. An informative video about your techniques would be awesome!
You are really great, your work is very good
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I really like the soft easy cadence of your teaching style. I love the detail of the thought process and self critique. I’m a new potter of about a year and because of you I now have my own glaze lab, wheel and kiln. I been more adventurous watching your creations and am having a great time.

edit: I did in fact sit through to the very end:)
I watched the whole thing and was so glad to see the finished product -- thanks for sharing your tips! It's time to make more lidded vessels!
Cheers Penny! Thank you very much for watching all the way through, it means a lot!
Absolutely watched through to the end. Its five months since my first pottery class and I'm at the point where your videos are especially helpful as I can take in the finer details that you so carefully cover. Thank you!

Our community pottery studio is enjoying watching your videos and discussing techniques among ourselves. Thanks so much. You make it look easy!
Watching from South Dakota in the US. My girls and I love to watch your videos- all the way to the end!
Well, here is one who watched your video to the end. And now on to the next one! Thank you being so generous with your knowledge and making such beautiful videos!
Indeed - I too watched to the end. Packed with wonderful information. Very inspiring.
Your studio assistant fits in those big jars 😊
watched whole video, very useful to got thru the whole process as a beginner, thanks!
Thanks for another wonderful video, Florian! I’m curious to know how you and other production potters and clay artists will face the winter months of increased energy costs. I’m afraid it’s going to affect us all, but of course you can’t make pottery without it. Anyway, keep up the wonderful work, and thanks again! -Anastasia in Greece via California
For sure watched it until the end😍 Such a great work!
Thank you for partage Please what is the name of this material that you use under the lids after the application of the enamel?
I loved watching your videos they are great inspiration for my ceramic work
Love the longer walk-throughs.
Me too - shame they take so many months to put together and it's also a shame I'm not firing so much lately due to my other ongoing secret project, sorry to tease! More longer walk throughs soon! (And thank you too of course)
I often cloce my eyes and listen to the clean up portion at the end. I try to visualize what is being cleaned. Beautiful pieces man.
Cheers! So appreciate that, good videos to fall asleep to, right?
You're videos are so satisfying &what is that red color u used the jar
Watched it all. Amazingly satisfying work!
Good job. And so relaxing to watch. Naturally I watch from start to finish. As a filmer it would be disrespectful not to and you sit…. deserve my respect. Thanks a bundle
Rosie
Many thanks Rosie, so very pleased to hear so and I appreciate the kind words to no end!
Fabulous video and yes I stayed all the way thru
i’m firing my first gas kiln this week i can’t wait so see all my hard work pay off, thank you for all the inspiration you have given me!
Exciting! It's really such a lot of fun and the glazes and clay react in such pleasant, warming way. Good luck, and thanks as always for watching! 🙌🏼
It’s always a joy watching all the way to the end!
I'm honoured to hear that, thank you, very much!

Riveting until the end. Thanks Florian!
i love seeing the glazing and firing process
I absolutely watched to the end. The detailed description is fantastic. Truly I am mesmerized and have learned so much. Thank you.
Enjoyed all the way through the end, yes sir!
Excellent and inspiring. When I watch these videos I always hope to take away one or two things I will try in the studio. This video makes me want to be more mindful about every part of the process and every part of the work, even those that won’t usually be seen. Thank you.
Beautiful
I’m beginning intermediate and find your videos VERY helpful! Thank you.
I genuinely enjoy your Process Videos. I often have them playing in the background as I draw. Thank you
I am brand new to the pottery process and I keep watching your videos over and over in hopes I absorb some of your knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing
This brings me back to my younger days throwing pots. I was not nearly as precise or professional, but I loved it and miss playing with clay.
I learn so much from every one of your videos! You have such a calm demeanor and really explain the “why” of your process well. Thank you for taking the time to make these.
You inspire my girlfriend to pursue this art , thank you!
I'm learning ceramic and glass conservation. These videos are helping a lot because you explain the Chem!
Inspiring work! Thank you for sharing!

Gosh I just get so mesmerized when watching your videos!
And yes I made it all the way through the video!
I play your videos during my work day and it relaxes me so much. Awesome work!
Always love watching the whole process! Definitely makes me want to throw my own pots.
I love watching until the end. I feel satisfied watching all your hard work, attention to detail and anticipation to see the final result!
Always here through the end. I’ve learned so much from your videos and they have really helped me improve my pottery as a beginner. Grateful for them!
What’s the pot you put into the kiln at 26:31?
Your style of editing and voiceovers are so relaxing that I sleep to your videos, please never stop making them, love you man
I watched till the end, learnt quite a bit 😊
I love seeing the full process. Your videos are very soothing to watch!
I'm a student potter and these videos always relax me and make me love ceramics even more
I love these in depth videos. Made it to the end
