- In this week's video I'm showing the creation of these jars from the trimming stage to the finished, fired vessel, (I forgot to film the throwing section, sorry!). I'll also show you the vessel coated in my new glazes towards the end of the video and discuss my conclusions made about some of these surfaces.Thanks for watching!
P.s, I'm seeing what uploading earlier does as my analytics say that 12:30pm should be when most of my audience is online and using TH-cam.

I didn't realize this before, but you speak so clearly in your videos that the auto-generated captions are able to get every single word perfectly. Precise in everything :D
Oh really? That's amazing, I try my best to make the narration as clear as possible, it takes me hours to record them. Thanks for watching!
Wow, that's something I've never seen before, as it always tends to mess up on jargon and homophones.
As a non-pottery person, I have absolutely no idea what is going on but I am thoroughly intrigued, nice.
Haha, hey that’s no bad thing. I try to make these videos in such a way that they’re appealing to people who aren’t potters/ceramicists, so knowing it has kept your attention is very gratifying. Thanks for watching!
Same
Same here as well!
I would love to have an ASMR of just listening to your pots tinkling. It's so relaxing every time we get a small glimpse of it!
Planning on taking ceramics classes next year. Thanks Florian for opening up this path for me. I never would've known this art would be something I'd be interested in pursuing one day.
I would absolutely listen to you narrate trimming for an hour long! Can't get enough of your videos
"...if I did, the video would end up being an hour long." I fail to see the problem... I could watch this for hours and not get tired
Ha! Well, editing it together wouldn’t be too bad, but adding a two hour narration might be the end of me.
Best videos for throwing,trimming, and glazing. Simply clean detailing for professionally finishing pottery.
thank you for all the valuable important tips.
A-mazing. Love your work Florian, the black is stunning! And I am looking forward to the porcelain reclaim episode!
Wow, this is such an advanced and tricky procedure. It takes such skill. Those are such great and sharp tools. You do amazing work Florian!
Fascinating new glazes! They look amazing, "first attempt" or not! I can't wait to see your next porcelain works with these new glazes.
ive never done repetitive throwing up until now and i have 30 different cup forms i have to make for my final project in a college class, they're due on December 2nd💪💪
Man watching this is helping me understand 3D forms. And I like how dynamic the pottery is. It really helps understand where shadows land and everything. I know this isn’t meant for art tutorials but I feel as though you works are great examples!!!
that hard contrast between the dark glaze and the unglazed porcelain is beautiful
Such a smooth satin glaze. The contrast between the dark/vintage glaze aesthetic and the white porcelain is very strong and caught my eye. Great work
love seeing all these different forms together. mesmerizing work as always florian.
Glad you do! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch.
Thanks so much for these videos! They have really helped me as a beginning potter. It would be great if in a future video you could go into more detail about how you clean up the glazed pot before firing--smoothing out drips and covering up the tong marks, for example.
Beautiful as always! And the process of making is just mesmerizing!
I know you weren't thrilled with the new black glaze but I simply adore it!
These videos are wonderful to fall asleep to and then rewatch in the morning so I can actually witness the creations.
been waiting for this since seeing the porcelain pieces of your glaze testing. So relaxing
I feel grateful to be able to watch you work. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being generous with your talent and acquired skill.
This is fascinating and relaxing at the same time.
So thankful for your channel 💝
Yes! Been waiting for a porcelain firing video 😊 thanks
I am always browsing through your channel because all the videos are so satisfying and relaxing. 🥺❤️
It’s mesmerising..genius
I love the colors here. For some reason, I'm reminded of the stoneware jars with the bioweapon goo in the temple in 'Prometheus'.
Florian, did you ever see someone adding details on pottery by braiding thin strips of clay and adding them to the surface?
Thanks again for the videos, I loved to see the way you take notes and make graphs, its science working with art :)
I'm so calm when I watch you so great
wow !!
really nice glazes very impressive!
Great show.
Really amazing💖🔥🔥 your work inspires me a lot 🥺💖💖
Your Porcelain pieces are so fascinating.
Great video. Let's see how the views do. P.s the time lapse made it easier to see how much difference the trimming makes. It was really great.
Ah wonderful, yeah lets see! I suppose ultimately most of my videos end of accumulating views over time, rather than in 24 hours. For instance, a bowl making video I made received a majority of its views months after being uploaded, rather than in the day it was put online. Truth be told I have no idea how the system works! Anyhow, thanks for watching Mark, as always.
@@floriangadsby no, thank you Florian. I just had a look through your channel and there are millions of views on the shorts. These days attention spans are shorter than ever. It might be worth considering making a series of shorter videos each week and release them through the week Monday wedging and pulling. Wednesday trimming and glazing. Friday fire and finish. Each around 5 to 7 minutes. Of course, I'm no youtuber but I'd like to see you getting millions of views a week. You deserve it and your content is better than most.
I like the darkness of your porcelain glazes.
i love these videos :)
Nice work
thIS IS SO SATISFYINNGGG
🙌🏼 thanks for watching!
I've recently found your videos and I really like them. Handmade pottery has always fascinated me and I enjoy learning about it. I have a question: when you load your gas kiln there seems to be pots already glazed and fired in the bottom (see 20:07 ). Are they being fired again and why?
Thank you for making such amazing videos! Happy New Year!
Great video 👍
🙌🏻
Good luck Nice 🖐🏻👍🏻🌺
i’m very curious where you get glaze materials, where do you look for yours?
thanks for helping my insomnia and making me yearn for just quitting everything and becoming a potter fhgvjbhkjnkl;
ps. never heard anyone pronounce lichen like that lol
in that brown glaze shown, is there any Suet in that? how mutch? what do you use to prevent it from running down?
thx
Zor zanaat.
What is your purpose for deciding to work with porcelain? I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
Hi 👋 What cone did you fire the porcelain to?
I find attaching handles of porcelain very difficult to shape and attach. Any tips?
I love working in porcelain. How are you enjoying it?
Could you make a play list of fails?
Can you glaze the pieces using an electric oven or you need the fire to reach that colour change?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Were the pyrometric cones more slumped than usual? I thought the last is meant to only slump a little, as it represents a temperature higher than your target one.
I just push them all over. As soon as come ten is flat I end the firing. You’re right of course! Really I should use cones 9, 10, 11 but this works so far with no disasters.
@@floriangadsby Cheers for the reply. I've been studying up on how to fire, as I've bought my first kiln, so great to hear other ways to approach things. You must have a bunch of various techniques you employ for simplicity, or speed, or quality. Would you ever put together a video about them?
How do you make sure the lid doesnt just fly off? I tried doing it the way you did and my lid fell off and was completely ruined😂😂
I’m just curious about the composition of the different types of clay body you use. Am I right in assuming that porcelain clay body is pure kaolinite? Is that the same as China clay? Regarding the high-iron clay body you use more commonly, is it also pure kaolinite besides the iron oxide impurity? Or are there other minerals, clay and otherwise, present in it?
I've noticed that in your reduction firings, there are always some pieces in there that already look glazed and reduction fired. Why is that?
I think all the jars turned out gorgeous!
It’s because the bottom front of the kiln, by the door where those pots are placed, always under fires a little bit, so glazed pots placed there never really reach the correct temperature. So instead I line the front with pots that need a second dose of heat/reduction, or those that need a tiny bit of crawling patched up.
Ive been doing pottery for about 5 month bow and I love the fact I can transfer the 3d pictures that I see in my brain, to a 3d object in front of me. Ive been trying to get more into throwing on a wheel but I have been unsuccessful and I don’t like the feel of finish of the stone ware clay that I have available ( Im taking a high school class and just using what is available). My teacher hasn’t really helped or given any solid tips on how to throw and anything I have thrown I haven’t felt a connection with and doesn’t feel sincere to my style of art or the picture I have in my head but neither does hand building in the same way metal or wood does to me. I find clay very interesting and I quite enjoy it but I feel between my teacher and her odd unnecessarily overbearing requirements on her idea of pottery I cant fully express myself and don’t like it as much as I possibly could. I don’t know and I feel kind of lost with my art direction or journey.
OMG WILL YOU SELL THE PORCELAIN VERSION???
I'm huge fan to porcelain product, i hope i can buy your porcelain works
I certainly will, although they may be sold through Make, Hauser & Wirth, a gallery that highlights crafts and handmade objects, Eventually I'd like to sell porcelain pieces through my own website but I need to have some more thorough practice with the material first.
Have you considered recycling the trimming using the dry method ?
Grinding the leftover bone dry clay to a powder. This method is faster, but you need a dedicated grinding machine.
I'm no expert, but as a hobbyist I have been told to avoid working with clay when it's dry, due to the issue of silicosis.
@@jaggederest true.
I would really not mind hour long videos!
I’m glad to hear so! I with I could edit those together, my computer is the weak link at the moment, I really need to upgraded to something that can handle 4k footage more smoothly but it also needs to be something so can carry around for work. Hopefully I can find a solution!
you must make hella bank.
sleeping time story..
This is a beautiful vessel and my favorite is the same as yours: The brownish yellow jar you showed at the end. I also admire that your studio is clean and organized. Out of curiosity, I must ask if you have a girlfriend!! :)
