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 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 :)
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 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!
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
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 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.
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:)
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!
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!❤️
All I want is a proper cup of coffee, made with a proper copper coffee pot. I may be off my dot but I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot. Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots, they are no use to me. If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot I’ll have a cup of tea. Edit: From memory, surprised I got it XD
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 !
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!
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 actually thought that your maker's mark was a Norse 'Os' rune... I'm not very observant apparently! This is also the first time I've ever noticed that the teapot I've had for years, supposedly from a potter selling on Etsy, has no maker's mark anywhere on it. Oddly, the teacups that match it do have one, though it's very complicated and hard to make out in detail. Your straightforward, clear F is much easier to recognize and identify.
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
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.
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 :)
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 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.
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!
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
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 😊👍
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!
At 48:00 I half-expected the teapot to crack and spill water everywhere, followed by “oops” in the same calm tone as the rest of the video and an abrupt end. I’m glad it survived, but imagining such an anti-climactic end to a nearly hourlong video representing months of work just tickled me
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!
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. 👍
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'm a beginner potter and I just need to ask... I can see in the finished teapot (that you made tea in) there is alot of "crazing" I thinks its called ... the tiny cracks. Firstly I'm guessing this was intentional but I thought if it had these cracks it's no longer food safe?
Here’s a good link to an article that goes into more depth about it, ceramicartsnetwork.org/ceramics-monthly/ceramics-monthly-article/Techno-File-Dirty-Dishes, and clears up some of the misconceptions that are spread around. As long as you properly wash crazed pottery there is no bacteria left in the crackles. As long as you take time to care for your handmade ceramics after they’ve been used then they’ll be just fine, but of course it does depend on the materials used and temperatures fired to. I’ve been using crackle glazed ceramics for years. My pots are highly fired stoneware with nothing nasty that could leech, the crackling doesn’t stain too badly as long as it’s properly washed but of course it happens overtime. To the same degree, many of the potters I’ve worked for over the years who wood fire, soda fire and so on, all have work that crazes and crackles to some degree and it all stains with time, yet functional work is still made abundantly and is completely usable. I saw this in Japan especially, with so many functional tableware pieces that were crackled/crazed and stained and no body blinks an eye, nor do you hear of an excessive amount of people getting ill. My clay is fully vitrified after being fired to 1300ºC and unless you take terrible care of your ceramics you’ll be perfectly healthy. Other clays, like earthenware, never fully vitrify and will absorb water if not glazed properly, that can be issue. For industrial use it could be a problem, due to the surface of the pot having less strength, long-term staining with use and fragility, as it’s high fired stoneware packed full of iron, which makes it weaker and more susceptible to chipping on the whole, but that’s what you get with handmade ceramics, I don’t want to make pots that have perfect, uniform surfaces like you might find in a shop, I want each to be individual and interesting and handmade and I suppose the same goes for the generations of potters who’ve worked all over the world. I think certain parts of the world, I won’t say which, seem to have a fixation on this. And of course it is the potter’s responsibility to provide surfaces that are food safe, but in most cases that applies to the leaching of toxic materials, not staining itself. Hot dishwater water and soak will kill anything in the crackles, and they are gaping crevices in bacterial terms. Anyway, I hope this helps!
I just recently discovered your channel, and I've been binging your videos ever since. They are really fantastic, as is your pottery. You manage to make it look easy, but at the same time the sheer skill and years of experience come through in so many ways - and the narration does a fantastic job of explaining techniques and choices while supplementing the video beautifully. This really makes me want to try my hand at pottery myself (my makerspace has a pottery workshop, though it's constantly crowded), though no doubt I would fail miserably. Still, you've really made me appreciate pottery in a way I never have. (Btw, the only negative about these videos is that your narration is so damn pleasant to listen to that I can get really sleepy.)
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
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.
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 ^^//
Extremely detailed step by step. Not once do I recollect a shilling for a like or subscribe. The only thing I would change is a slightly louder narrating voice. Either way you earned a like and a subscriber. I'll never be able to afford your work. But I appreciate you're time and effort revealing the world of pottery.
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.
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 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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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’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.

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.
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.
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!
I just throwing for the first time and it was pretty amazing. Thank you for your insightful videos
From Japan
This video made me relax
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!❤️
TLDR, Englishman learns to craft high quality pottery so he can enjoy a proper cup of tea.
I mean, of course!
All I want is a proper cup of coffee, made with a proper copper coffee pot. I may be off my dot but I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot. Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots, they are no use to me. If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot I’ll have a cup of tea.
Edit: From memory, surprised I got it XD
what a lovely way to start my day before heading into the studio 🥺 thank you, florian!
Loved everything second of the vídeo. Congrats. A fan from Brazil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
your pottery is absolutely beautiful! 🥺
watching your videos has made me gain an incredible amount of respect and interest in such a unique craft. 💖
Thank you Florian for this great detailed video. It was such a treat! 😊
I'm just gonna pretend i understand all of those (i did understand some of the things)
That was amazing! Thanks for all your hard work, it really shows. And the pots are lovely too.
I was feeling empty and shit. after watching this I feel good and productive.
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 !
C'est parfait 👍🏽 j'adore votre travail 😍😍😍😍😍
Wonderful
that's extra care and attention to detail what you do with the grinding paste
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!
You've got to give it a go, they're such fun things to make. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Great work!
Thank you!
Happy new year my dude, may it be filled with trimmings, bloopers, Bison tools and glazes
Hi from Russia!
watching your videos is my therapy these days!

You are a damn artist!

Just finished my teapot for my a-level course inspired by your angular forms…perfect timing video to reflect my own making process!

Thank you for your knowledge, taking time and explaining the process.
Amazing video! Thank you so much!! Currently binging you content, learning oodles!
This video is so much fun and very calming to watch. Thank you for sharing. #NewSubHere #Keepupthegreatwork

Wow this is fucking amazing! Nit just the pottery but the quality and frequency of videos! Also love your voice ❤
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.
still your no 1 fan 🤗 Happy 2022 Florian
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!
Incredible, fascinating and wonderful to watch such skill.
Comments for the artistic algorithm
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!
Thanks so much for the video, its informative and inspirational.
You would make a awesome professor in collage fir anybody interested in this art as a career!
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.
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.
do do do dooo doo
long one this week. thanks Florian and happy new year sir.

Pulling the handle reminds me of how confectioners pull sugar! Awesome how techniques lie this can be applied in so many ways
Please 🙏🙏
Beautiful, thank you, the hour just flown by in a moment! Your voiceover is so nice. The teapots look amazing.
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.
