- How teapots are made on a throwing wheel. Pottery made from Stoneware clay - get a teapot on ETSY: www.etsy.com/shop/ThePotterPo...
Ronald Pothier is a potter from Quebec. Watch as he transforms a hunk of clay into a finished teapot.
Ronald Pothier is a potter having started all the way back in 1973 at only the age 13! Today, he works out of his studio in Quebec where he produces beautiful ceramic pieces of art. Bowls, plates, cups, vases, teapots and more, they are strong and practical for everyday use in your kitchen.
Watch as Ronald throws two different teapot designs with such confidence and ease. He makes it look easy but throwing clay on a wheel is quite the workout while also requiring a fine level of finesse. Later on, Ronald explains how he fires, decorates and glazes his pottery and then we see the final result of all the hard work. It's a multistage process that takes several weeks to complete and decades of experience to perfect.
Ronald is a fantastic teacher and holds classes on Saturdays. Whether you're a beginner or experienced in throwing, you are welcome to sign up. Visit Ronald's website for more information.

I love this man. He's so peaceful. Watching this made me peaceful.
Ha 666 likes
Watching this made me fall asleep.
"and want this to be in the.... *SLAM!* mmmmiddle" I loved that moment
Ya, I was starting to fall asleep until he whipped out the blowtorch. That scared the crap out of me
He’s kinda like the Bob Ross of pottery.
He reminds me of Bob Ross, but for pottery. Awesome!
This gives me a title idea
YYEEESS!! made me wanna cry!
I Had to Change my Name maybe he is
I Had to Change my Name omg I was saying the same thing

u have the same profile picture as my good old internet friend. i just wanted to tell u that.
CapriSuN Your electricity bill exists you know
@@Sarawarawara- haha not if you're a minor and your parents pay for it.
CapriSuN Well then therapy isn’t expensive either
Your parents will pay for It!
The end credit says "All music performed by Simon Pothier" whom I assume is his father. How sweet!
Sarah Kim yes, Simon was our dear musical father. We lost him last May. We miss him more than words can say 💔
@@louern123 So sorry for your loss. You have blessed us all with his music in this video. I noticed it immediately and enjoyed every note ♥️♥️♥️
@@WhatsNewTodayCreator You are very kind. Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure he was an amazing man, and his legacy continues through his beautiful music. I hope you are all doing well, and staying safe in such a scary time. Stay strong! May Mr. Simon Pothier Rest In Peace.
this guy is like the bob ross of pottery. smooth voice, talented and the completely random conversations
He DID pop up after a video of Bob Ross after all...
@@Burago2k me too
Whet on whet.
i almost commented this
I WAS GONNA COMMENT DAT LMAOO
Nearly crapped my pants when he took out the blowtorch. I was so calm listening to his fantastic story and BBBRRSSH. This is the second best thing since Bob Ross
What's the first?
"Scorch the devil outta it"
@Wolfy Junior they are not artists tho
He did that as I was reading this comment lol
Well that spoiled that for me
Most satisfying thing about this video is that it’s exactly 30 minutes long
Also everything in the video:his voice, the music, the pottery changing shapes, and the blow torch!
Thanks for noticing ;)
Stereokroma is the best unknown
Bro I’ve never loved my recommendation feed as I’ve been loving right now during quarantine. Exactly what I needed. Don’t care if I’m 4 years late to the party
same
You can always spot professionals. They make things look so easy you feel like you can do it... until you try to and make a mess
exactly
It will not be a mess, it will become a happy accident ;)
idk about pottery, but I've done some loved works under Bob Ross
Hahahaha! :)
boltimuss you are telling thats hard?
I've never been to a therapy session before. This video could be the first. My soul is as soft as a marshmallow now.
I said to myself "Why the hell am I watching this"
Yesss
Or as soft as the clay he threw ;)
Like actually, though.
Honestly just any art activity tends to be therapeutic for me cuz it's all about the quiet intuition of the hands
"In pottery, there's many, many stages and no stage is more important than another."
I actually started tearing up at some point.
that's your inner artist!
This is easy to watch and learn from!
the best part is when you SMACK down the clay, like smacking the devil out of it haha
ohhh snap 😂
That bob ross reference though
*beat the devil out of it
@@eleamrsk_1986 Romy fans (Im also one)
iStill Cry 😂
His speech pattern and accent remind me of Mr. Rogers. Super kind and a pleasure to listen to and watch.
J H I had the exact same though and scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else thought that!
@@racheldyer1417 Same.
bruh i just came here from a mr rogers video lmao it was the first suggestion
I'm so glad someone else thinks he sounds like Mr Rogers too.
He has the soothingness of bob ross
listening to you reminiscing about your family of artists makes me hope I'll help raise kids that talk about me when their older with the same fondness. made me feel something..
I had a little moment there while the music started and the pot body was being thrown. Came *this* close to shedding a tear... idk why it must have just been such a beautiful moment. Much love and light be with you friend 💚
I'm a year behind the rest of the comments (chuckle). I look for videos like this to help destress, but I have bookmarked your etsy shop, as sometimes I look for gifts for family members. Very nice work.
Gary The Gray I feel you man
:3
I can sit and watch this guy do his thing and talk for hours. Would love to stop by if I'm ever around that area.
Who else want here to take of the excess clay on his hands
SERIOUS GUILE bad idea. It adds a lot of lubrications to the clay and allows it to dry more easily later on
@@Owen_Morgan True, but with my experience on pottery it all depends on how you prefer to throw. At my apprenticeship, my mentor always finds it funny how much wet clay (slip) I have on my hands when I throw. She throws with her hands mainly wet with just water and would wet town the clay rather than her hands more often. It also depends on what works best for how you throw. I have a bad habit of building up a lot of slip on my hands and letting it dry on the backs of it, which sometimes chips onto the piece I'm working on.
Guile Arvee Castro I don’t think they understand.
@@Khangel yeah thats like half a year ago
this was a year ago jeez
everything about this video is satisfying.
including the fact that this video is exactly 30 minutes long
btw, the fact that music was left out of the video is much appreciated
Just realized I watched a 30 minute video on making a tea pot, when I can barely usually finish a music video.
Sameeee
Ethan Roberts bc this doesn't have Cardi B
Because this man is amazing
Same
Samiii :3 u a lame
If listening to this video made my anxiety calm down, imagine taking one week course with him, not only gain knowledge on pottery but gain all the peace you can contain in your body.
I was recovering from an anxiety attack by doing some drawing, and i put this on in the background. Hes such an amazing man. Its very relaxing to listen to him, and the way he talks almost makes it seem like hes right there as your friend.
Ninjanova Ahhhhhh like the feeling of climbing into a hot bath with lots of bubbles & herbs when you are so sore you can hardly move.You can literally feel the tension and soreness float away. He is gifted in more than one way and those gifts overlap.😊👍❣️❣️❣️
The amount of tears I shed in this video is huge this is basically free therapy it’s so calming and stress relieving
I’m glad u made the lid...
“Coz everyone needs a friend”
Didn't even realize 30 minutes went by! Very relaxing and nice video!
Throwing that high takes all the strength from your arms.
True
I didnt realize that the video was 30 mins till you said it XD
@@isaacmbamuku9053 SAME WTF
i love how his surname is Pothier and he's a potter. It's quite likely his family were potters by trade a long time ago.
vinyl hedgehog - I was thinking his last name is pretty convenient.
My last name is Crocker. Guess my ancestors made crocks. 😐
Went to school with a girl called Couturier ... guess what she became.
dethofariel Um what? A lot of people a long time ago had last names that matched their professions. It made people easier to identify. The last name Smith comes from being a blacksmith. It was literally what they did centuries ago.
Can he possibly be related to the boy who lived?
Harry Potter
Pottery making is an intricate craft that requires patience and precision. From shaping the clay to firing the final product, every step is a testament to the artisan's skill and dedication. It's fascinating to see how traditional techniques are preserved and passed down through generations, blending seamlessly with modern innovations
Him: round shapes are very strong.
Me, a thicc boi: 😎
Bob Ross shit right here. I am drunk and this's just a blessing RN
we love undertale
I'm tipsy too. Cheers.
🥂
I'm impaired
Watching him throw above his waist really interests me. I’ve always thrown hunched over and it really hurts my neck and back. I’m working with porcelain so it’s not too tough, maybe I’ll rig something up so the plate will sit above my waist. Beautiful video!
I also thought this was so interesting! I always throw hunched over. People don’t understand me when I say my back is in pain. I should try to throw above my waist... might be easier on my health!
Man why is pottery so freaking cool tho srsly
And also sooo satisfied
When he was scrapin the clay. OMG I'm in luv
this video was wonderful it made me smile and today has been a sad day thank you
♥‿♥
I took a ceramics class in High School, I didn't do very well and I ditched a lot of days when I had it, there was nothing that I made that I truly liked until I made my teapot for my final during the second semester. While it was a bit of a rush and the body was not as smooth as I wanted it to be I was proud that I made it, I thought everything else looked pretty nice and I glazed it a pretty sky blue color and did the lid top in green. Though I can't use it for tea (I made it non-utilitarian because when it was fired the lid got stuck on top, and I didn't want to risk messing it up) I still have it in a glass display case that we have some picture frames in in our house. This teapot was one of the most creative things I have done.
I come back to this video often. It’s one of my favorite videos. So calming.
Thankyou
The spinning makes every groove go evenly the whole way around... how it just gets creamy because of friction and moisture of the hands is mesmerizing, so is the entire process. *10/10.*
You’re like the clay version of Bob Ross
Burning Callouses LORE OLYMPUS
Lol I was gonna say that 😂
_Skittles _ Ssssoo can you taste the rainbow?
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
OMG I WAS ABOUT THE SAY THAT TO MY SISTER!!!
This was relaxing to watch ^.^
Thanks for watching :)
Nice
Sounds like a wonderful heritage. I agree with you that art can take many forms with many different materials and giftings or talents.
u know i feel like he would be so nice to talk to like he is so calming in such a cool way
I love how there's no loud music during the video. Thanks!
*This is the best pottery video i have ever seen this guy was so interesting i dont give a like on videos much but this is in my like playlist now i gave a subb too.*
Thanks! :)
I'm so conflicted. The ceramics is so beautiful and it's so soothing to watch build and the dude has such a Bob Ross voice but I cannot get over the sheer amount of GUNK on his hands whenever he messes with the clay. It looks like a freaking mud pimple
I don’t have words to describe the joy in seeing your happiness in what you do!
Great enjoy!!
Greetings from India !
This was wonderful - and I was touched to see that your father performed the piano we heard, thank you so much (to both of you!) for sharing your process and your art.
I think that the overall content quality here is too great for the common TH-cam platform lol.
Watching and listening him is very therapeutic, it’s like listening to your grandmother talk while she cooks. Great video!
Love it when a potter explains and chat, while making consistent pots. Not so much the ease, but the confidence is beautiful to watch. I hope to see more of your work on YT.
I just wanted to say thank you for the closed captions. I'm hard of hearing and these are so so important to me.
:)
I just found out.... that this helps me with my stress during homework... this is great, thank you so much
Really thank you
Umm I came here thinking I was gonna watch 10 minutes of it ....... 30 minutes later I realize it’s over🤷♂️
Just magical, thank you, after a painful hard day this is wonderful to see
Keep your mary-juano, kids. this is the kind of pot that gets me high
Seymour Butts 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Good teapots are priceless! My Mom got one or found one with her mom when I was younger that was of a really nice grayisch blue, the pattern reminds me of clouds kinda. I think it was made with machines since it doesnt have any signatures at all. Put its my all time favorite teapot. Its very balanced and keeps the tea real warm and also packs around 1,7 L or 1,8 L and yeah. The day itll break of old days ill be crying because ill know i dont want any other pot.
You should totally get a twitch channel and stream in the creative section. Could really interact with fans there live.
I watch this video every morning. I am a potter, and his technique is so well identified, and his voice is so relaxing, and the classical music is so beautiful… It takes me back to my childhood, watching Mr. Rogers. His voice reminds me of Mr. Rogers, and it’s so soothing and he explains everything step-by-step. I would love to see more videos from him.
Thankyou Jenn.
I am just so shocked and amazed. How pleasant it was to see how he made the pottery with his calm voice.
And the stunning outcome of the pottery... I am amazed.
It’s amazing that he can throw this whole teapot without water but with slip. I literally drown my pieces in water just so it can be thrown. That’s some awesome skill that he has
SAME. I use way too much water and need to learn how to use less :/
"This came from the Brits, although they got it from [...]" is basically a summary of all of British history.
Patrick Hodson _____ Not really, no.
Burlats de Montaigne Tea is Chinese. Curry is Indian . The British love stolen things.
@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 Yes really.
Stolen rights!!
Joke They don't love stolen memes though
That was beautiful, when he talked about his family. I definitely should marry an artist, handy, or crafty man
i love it how you talk about your art family while we get hypnotized by watching the wheel spin. beautiful art work. amazing to watch the manufacturing. amazing pottery . amazing artist.
I love watching stuff like this.
Super interesting seeing what people are passionate about.
this is so pure, creative, peaceful & inspiring, I feel so calm by it all
Wowww. These tea pots are big!
I felt something at the end when it credited his dad for performing all the music in the video, what an amazing relationship, wow
Me: I'm going to pay attention and learn something new.
My brain: "I'm a little teapot short and spout. Here is my handle here is my spout."
When I get all steamed up hear me shout
Chrysalism Acosmist Tip me up and pour me out!
**insert something that rhymes**
That was awesome. Artistry, craftsmanship, and soothing voice like Bob Ross. But with History, Science, and Art lessons taught in the style of Mr. Rogers.
I didn't even realize that this video was 30 minutes long, I was just so mesmerized. So soothing, and such beautiful work.
I'm confused whether I'm mesmerized with just another pottery video or the way the old man talks. Once a teacher always a teacher i guess. Thanks TH-cam for recommending this video.
what a lovely video. other ceramics videos ive been watching have a tendency to be grainy, poorly shot, and impersonal, but not so here. this fellow is a skilled craftsman, and it was a pleasure to watch him at his work.
+Sarah Repp Thank you Sarah, we will likely make more in the future.
18:18 there’s a lil doggo in the background that comes forward to the mid left of the video :)
Edit: little buddy has ventured to the land under the desk. Best of luck on your travels, little buddy. Best of luck.
Also, to actually comment on the video, this dude is seriously an artisan. He reminds me of a more chill version of my art teacher from freshman year. Both are passionate about art. Cool dudes.
he went to the dog dimension
When he was painting I felt like it was gonna come crappy. After the fire...man I WAS IMPRESSED. Felt like buying it.
Thank you for sharing your art with us . Really grateful to be able to see it online.
He's literally the Bob Ross of pottery.
I was just thinking that and then saw this comment lol - talks just like him
hhhk20 honestly dude, fuck you
@hhhk20 Was all that really necessary ok maybe you don't like Bob Ross but alot and I mean ALOT of other people do and Bob Ross was a very talented man as this man is aswell no doubt about that but next time keep your commentary to your self please and please keep your opion to yourself because opions are like assholes we all have one so please shut the fuck up thanks
@hhhk20 ok so now were calling names no shit its a public platform and im not a clueless piece of shit I'm actually making all A's in my classes so I'm not clueless and i wanst saying your opion wasn't wanted what i was trying to say wad there was an nicer way to say that you don't like him and you don't have to be a dick to get people to hear your opion like i said opions anr like assholes we all have one but your opion is irelivent so keep it to your self,find a nicer way to say it or shut the fuck up.
hhhk20 why u pressed
*ASMR left the chat*
@@ThatOneTravel You can't just tell people it bored/relaxed people to sleep just because it wasn't asmr for you. Everyone has different perceptions of everything. This was definitely asmr for me.

WOW!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL TEA POT SET!!!
I started my pottery in 1971. You are a very good teacher...I can tell. Merci😀
Did anyone notice the dog in the back 18:20 😂😂😂😂😂. Such a cute dog .
The first 30 seconds I'm thinking "this looks easy enough" then by the 1:30 mark I'm like "what kind of sorcery is this?"
Thomas Roucka about the same here
My ceramic teacher constantly yells at us to skore (score?) and slip and when I saw you just use slip and stick it on I could hear my teacher screaming in my head 😂 beautiful pieces!!!
🦋Those pots were beautiful 🦋
This man has some real talent👍
I can’t believe I just watched someone make a teapot for 30:00 min straight out of clay
2:55 this clay is the creamiest clay I’ve seen , how it folds over your fingers. Really great instruction .
He's cool and fun to watch him he's like so talented!!!👍👍
Thank you for helping me with my teapot project in school. I was struggling and I found your video and I got a really good grade on it after watching. Your very peaceful and helpful and if I ever go to New York I'll be sure to stop by❤️❤️❤️
kitty kurasaki
I think he is in Quebec Canada
something about his voice is calming
Just had 2 classes learning about those caves. I love that you use that as inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
I miss throwing and building with clay....might need to start again...😍thank you.
7:04 For anyone wondering, its Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No 3. Since this is isn't mentioned in the description
It's at the end
This is the most wholesome thing I have ever experienced
It was so beautiful and wonderful to watch as he makes these works of art come alive.
A piece of beauty!!!
Man I took ceramics in high school and I miss it so much!!
You sure do have that easy spoken Mr. Rogers type of voice. Enjoyed this thoroughly :)
You, sir, are amazing! I'm enjoying watching this so much!
You are definitely an artist...and a good one, too. Thanks!💐✨🏆🌟👍🏾💖😇💫
This was already great to begin with but when you added Erik Satie Gymnopodie as background music, I fell in love
I loved this. Absolutely love it from start to finish: the tone, the music, the art. The intersection of Feng Shui meets Zen in the clay studio. Meditative.
The Quebecois have a beautiful orientation with life similar to the best of French traditions..
Beautiful work! True joy watching you work and listening to your commentary. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love your story and watching you making tea pots
