A feature-length documentary on making a teapot. For free. On TH-cam. Made by the smoothest and calmest voice britain has to offer. I bow in awe and recognition. If only I could catch one of your shop restocks!
I’m always astounded by not just your skill and talent, but your willingness to take the time and energy to share your processes with us. I have learned so much from you that I use in my potting. Thank you!
I watched all the way through. Im amazed at the perfectionism and consistency. I'm so impatient. I've only done 2 x 5 week beginner sessions and find ot so hard not to rush! I'm hooked, so I'll be signing up again. Thanks for the inspiration!
I didn’t even realise that I had just watched an hour long video- I was so engaged in this masterpiece that I didn’t realise the time! Your ability is so impressive and I’m in awe of how gorgeous all of these pots were. I aspire to be like you one day! Thank you for this :)
I've never thought about, or looked at pottery making in my life, but I can say that I'm glad this was recommended to me, what an amazing way to spend 50 minutes
After watching the whole video, I'm still mesmerized by your effort and technique every time. Each and every step has careful consideration of not only it's functionality but design too. I'd love to have a set from you one day!❤️
I'm new to pottery, and I've been watching and watching several potters. You've quickly become my favourite to watch. Thank you for sharing your skill, craft, and words.
I am an engineer and recently taken up ceramics. This man is the only master that speaks to my hearth. His patience and precision is so pleasing. Wish he took me as apprentice!
I didn’t think i would watch this video entirely.. but i ended up doing so anyway because the whole process and video has a beautiful rhythm and pace to it. I enjoyed it a lot!
I understand everyone talking about the footage and pottery, but man you do very entertaining voice overs. So calm and put together. Nice to unwind with.
Im an art student and i’m so very interested in pottery, it is so satisfying when the aesthetically pleasing features of your products come to life! Will try to make this teapot when I’ve gotten more familiar with the clay medium :)
watching your videos is my therapy these days! Pottery is something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the chance to try, The way you share the process in detail is just amazing! Watched it till the end If I’ll ever start this it’s gonna be because of you 😊 thank you Florian
I am embarking into the world of pottery and you have made me realise it is for me. You take care and professionalism over your pieces. Thank you for sharing your skills. I can’t wait to get to my wheel.
Amazing! Just started pottery and it was an emotional connection. I’m hooked. I look to one day be able to do what you are doing. You make it look so easy! There is a peace that comes over creating. I do a lot of praying while I am on the wheel!
your forms are so beautiful. i can imagine a cup of tea coming from this pot somehow being warmer and more cozy than any other cup. thank you for all the effort you put into showing us this
This is beautiful and it always gives me so much joy when I know exactly what your doing because I myself am a potter and I love it so much. I am only 12 years old and the feeling when I know what your doing shows me that I’m a real artist now. So thank so much for making these beautiful pieces of art and sharing it with all of us
i love this! i started taking a ceramics class at school and these videos have been really helpful to learn new techniques and get inspiration. i love the unique style, i might try to make a teapot soon!
Thank you for sharing your process with such care and detail. You are such a guide in my pottery journey. I often find myself teary at the very end of your videos - I think because it all feels so beautiful and thoughtful and deeply considered. So many parts and pieces of the masterpiece of your work and the way you bring us along for a close look into it. Thank you!
This is an incredible video Florian. I am always amazed that you are able to put out such high quality and educational content, while also being able to produce such perfect work as a production potter. I have learned so much from your videos, and your channel has really helped me improve my skills as a potter.
I love how meticulous you are with your work. The end results are a testament to your attention to detail. Thank for these VERY informative videos ( have watched three thus far).
It's my dream to make a teapot one day, but as I only started in February 2022, I still have some practising to do first. Great advice, and beautiful work! Thanks!
I think I've seen you go through parts of this - maybe one bit for lidded jars and another part for cups - in earlier content. Nice to have all the teapot stuff tied neatly together. Many thanks and happy new year.
Where to begin? I guess with a thank you for sharing your process. as a hobby potter I understand things do take a lot of time, but the extra work and attention to detail that goes in to the process when producing is just mind blowing. Such impressive work, not only with the pottery it self, the video and the voice over. Thanks!
I did some pottery in a high school ECA. Still using some of the pieces made there today. Your videos reminded me of the satisfaction I felt from that work, that I lack in my engineers office job today. Feeling the flow of material under the fingertips was always uplifting. You also put in the effort at places that I didn't enjoy that much. ^^
I love teapots. It's really intriguing to watch then made from each culture. The techniques and the skill set are admirable. You are very meticulous and you've really honed your craft. You are inspirational.
Thanks to Tom Scott, I have found another amazingly informative and very relaxing creator, whose videos I'll be binging until none are left. Thank you for your great videos :D
These tea pots are wonderful. Just can't get over how much I am attracted to your esthetic. Love the simplicity of the look, but the difficulty of making them look that way. Might you share the height and width of this piece. Can't wait to see how close I can get. Thanks so much and have a safe and wonderful new year
Thank you for a wonderfully educational and peaceful experience! There are artisans on my island who do clay work but they do not get up the the glazing stage. I am inspired to go experience this process and help to keep the local art alive. Thank you and all the best with your beautiful work.
This piece is my favorite I must say. I really love teapots and this one is just beautiful ! I was wondering if you intend to throw these with porcelaine instead of stonewear ? I find the recent white vases that you made really accentuate your work on straight edges and simple geometrical shapes (which i love). Hope to see more of this and big thanks for showing your craft on youtube !
It's so beautiful to see the process you go through and all the thought behind each step in making these teapots. I so wish I could buy some of your pieces. They're absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much for sharing the whole process. It is so helpful to me as a student. I love your aesthetic, your generosity, and your very informative and soothing narration.
Really inspiring video, and so informative. Have just thrown my 1st 3 teapots in the "Gadsby" style and can now appreciate the amount of skill and timing that's involved in simply finishing a pot. Hopefully when glazed they may look ok but the level of finesse that you show can only come with time, effort, repetition and an understanding of how clay and glazes marry to achieve such beautiful pots.
This was SO COOL to watch!! You do astounding work. Wow!! I never knew all that went into clay pots. You demonstrate and narrate so well. Thank you for sharing. This was so awesome to watch & learn 😊👍
Wonderful from start to finish. Narration, video quality, and of course the teapots themselves! I hope to own one of these one day. Thank you for the effort this must have taken, it was a pleasure to watch.
leaving a comment before watching the full video, thank you again for all the work put into your craft, and the videos too. all of it is truly incredible and tended to like a well trimmed foot on a piece of pottery:)
I wonder... ever make a tealight based tea brewing pot? It's a stand you can drop a tealight into and a small tea pot with water on top of. You light the candle and after a while the water is hot enough to brew tea.
I'm back to say thank you so much for making this detailed video about the whole process. I'm wondering now how different the porcelain will look--both process-wise and as the finished piece. Maybe you can do a side-by-side comparison of throwing the same(ish) form in both types of clay and talk about the differences. Like I've said before, I'm a visual learner, and I'd love to see the comparisons. Thank you so much for making these videos! Happy new year!
This is the technique I have the hardest time with I can do slab construction I can do coil construction but I have a very hard time doing throwing I'm hoping that one day I get better at it I'm thinking about auditing my ceramics class again and focusing on throwing and try to get better at it
Wow!!! That is an absolutely impressive video! Full of so much knowledge! Thank you for all that you do for our community, learned so much today, thanks a million🤩 your Québec 🇨🇦friend
It pushed my computer to it's limits, I think it's about time I overhaul all my editing gear and computer soon as this was a challenge to get done. Thanks for watching as always Mark, and happy new year to you too!
@@floriangadsby lol, I'm sure it did. Little advice as far as computers go. Ssd's are very fast with file transfers and doing file related tasks and video editing softwares are ram hungry. I hope that helps a bit if at all. 👍
I have been looking into pottery and your videos marry together the passion you have but also the hard work that these things take and I appreciate that. the truth that this is a hard thing to do but also that it is very worth it means a lot to me.
Wow, beautiful work, i really enjoy this kind of jobs because you can really apreciate the hand work and all the love you put in every piece of art you made.
Great video, and great way to kick off the year. The glaze on these pots came out beautiful, I always love seeing the natural crackle on your pieces. Happy New Year!
Thank You SO much for all of amazing videos! Everyone I watch is so informative and inspiring. Beautiful work and sharing your knowledge with us is so generous.
I just began throwing a few weeks ago, after my daughter gifted me a pottery class for Mother’s Day. I am having so much fun! Your work is stunning! And your videos are so informative and invaluable. Thank you so much!
Ive been watching your content for a few months now and finally decided to comment and share my thoughts. I love your content and I just started 3D art in freshman year of high school and watching your videos make me so fascinated at how much goes into the process of making pottery so thank you for getting me more into pottery ^^//
I loved this video, so much. I immensely enjoy watching your content and was so excited to see one so long be posted. Thank you for taking us on the journey of making these teapots!
This video is the best I watched so far on this topic. Loved your narration and explanation. Also, those clips are high quality, I watched until the end. Did you know that your craft is mentioned in the early books of the bible already? They sometimes describe God as a potter and us humans as the vessel worked on. So beautiful.

I too tip my hat to you.
I second this admiration. And thanks for all you add to my life in making skills and that soothing voice when life gets to be a bit much.
I’m always astounded by not just your skill and talent, but your willingness to take the time and energy to share your processes with us. I have learned so much from you that I use in my potting. Thank you!
Such a kind comment, thank you Kate, it really means a lot.

I was feeling empty and shit. after watching this I feel good and productive.
I hate how I just click on one of these videos and it becomes void time. Like, it's too relaxing!
I know the amount of work that must go into this video and I want to tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you.
That means a lot. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻

The sound the lid makes when you put it on after brewing the tea is so satisfying....
I understand everyone talking about the footage and pottery, but man you do very entertaining voice overs. So calm and put together. Nice to unwind with.
I went from no interest in pottery, to looking for pottery classes near me. All because of you. Thank you. God Bless.
Im an art student and i’m so very interested in pottery, it is so satisfying when the aesthetically pleasing features of your products come to life! Will try to make this teapot when I’ve gotten more familiar with the clay medium :)
what a lovely way to start my day before heading into the studio 🥺 thank you, florian!
People with real talent such as yourself rarely receive the accolades one deserves. Fantastic video!
watching your videos is my therapy these days!
Pottery is something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the chance to try,
The way you share the process in detail is just amazing! Watched it till the end
If I’ll ever start this it’s gonna be because of you 😊
thank you Florian
The color of the pots is very reminiscent of Korean celadon, I love it. Thank you for showing us this process from beginning to end

You've got to give it a go, they're such fun things to make. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I am astonished about the complexity. You make me understand/appreciate the craft more and more with each video.

Such attention to detail. I imagine people that purchase the teapots cherish them.

Such an unusual teapot!! I’m back to throwing after being away from it for 45!years!! Watched your video no less than 5 times. Gonna attempt it.
Just finished my teapot for my a-level course inspired by your angular forms…perfect timing video to reflect my own making process!
Where to begin? I guess with a thank you for sharing your process. as a hobby potter I understand things do take a lot of time, but the extra work and attention to detail that goes in to the process when producing is just mind blowing.

your attention to detail is exquisite. Fantastic work
A beautiful explanation and demonstration of your masterful work. What a pleasure to watch you create these lovely pots.
Fantastic tutorial. Just getting back into pottery and making a teapot is a dream of mine.

You also put in the effort at places that I didn't enjoy that much. ^^

I made my first teapot a few weeks ago so I understand how much work it is. Loved to see how you work and where you put your attention on!
Happy new year my dude, may it be filled with trimmings, bloopers, Bison tools and glazes
Thank you for a wonderfully educational and peaceful experience! There are artisans on my island who do clay work but they do not get up the the glazing stage. I am inspired to go experience this process and help to keep the local art alive. Thank you and all the best with your beautiful work.
Thank you so much that was so informative quite an educational video for potters, also, the tone of your voice is very relaxing. Thank you.
The patients and dedication this takes is incredible 👏.
This really is wonderful. It must feel so gratifying to make that first cup of tea with a newly made teapot.
Your pieces are amazingly beautiful and the time,energy and work put in to making them is a work of art. I very much appreciated watching your videos.
This piece is my favorite I must say. I really love teapots and this one is just beautiful !
I was wondering if you intend to throw these with porcelaine instead of stonewear ? I find the recent white vases that you made really accentuate your work on straight edges and simple geometrical shapes (which i love). Hope to see more of this and big thanks for showing your craft on youtube !

Thank you so much for sharing the whole process. It is so helpful to me as a student. I love your aesthetic, your generosity, and your very informative and soothing narration.
Beautiful work. Such a lot of work and care. It’s amazing to see the difference the final firing makes to the colour of the glaze.
Thanks for taking the time to help us see your process. You are skilled and even though the video is long, it was worth the insight you shared.
I love your teapots. You’ve done very well my friend.
Really inspiring video, and so informative. Have just thrown my 1st 3 teapots in the "Gadsby" style and can now appreciate the amount of skill and timing that's involved in simply finishing a pot.

Wonderfull, I really enjoyed that! Love the shapes you make, especially this teapot. Great taste, great skills!
Have you ever considered slab building teapots? This is how the unfinished yixing teapots are made and I'm kinda obsessed with them.
It’s just not my style! I like slab built ones but I’m a thrower.
Wonderful from start to finish. Narration, video quality, and of course the teapots themselves! I hope to own one of these one day. Thank you for the effort this must have taken, it was a pleasure to watch.
Very good demonstration of what goes skill, time goes into creating these beautiful ceramics.

Absolutely love your videos, thank you for the hard work and sharing your expertise. I wish I were young to be able to learn this craft.
Now this is a teapot I would love to have!
Beautiful, thank you, the hour just flown by in a moment! Your voiceover is so nice. The teapots look amazing.
Thank you for these demos! Im always looking for a comprehensive demo, and yours are great! thanks for sharing
