The narrated version is actually my ASMR one. The explanations are neat, the words carefully picked giving great tips with a clear voice. Thank you!
I know right!
And his voice is super calming! I put on his videos to help my 18 month old go to bed.

They’re going to start throwing their play dough professionally!
That glaze is so pretty
Agreed!! It’s gorgeous!
Loved the video Florian. I’ve been struggling with some anxiety recently and these videos really help me calm down. I appreciate your hard work and I hope you’re having a good day :)
Thanks so much Liesl, I'm so pleased they've been relaxing for you, pottery always is, there's something so hypnotic about the spinning wheel. Thanks for watching and have a good day too!
Much love Just found this video and I must say You've got the best step by step videos for ceramics that I have seen
Just WOW! I'm learning so much from your narrated videos! I have never seen such detailed and relaxing instruction videos. Thanks a lot for sharing
Cheers Lynn! So pleased you found it informative.
The finished product is very nice. has inspired me to replace my dinnerware with some hand crafted pieces. thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for all the work you put into these videos. I can't even imagine how much time it must take you to do all of the editing, comments, etc. Also, very helpful to me as a very novice potter!
Everything I'd ever want in a ceramic plate right there. Your videos are splendid too. ❤️
I loved watching this, hearing about every single move and 'touch' that's needed when throwing a plate. Thank you for sharing your process - right from the beginning with the preparation (so important) to showing us how you stack them for bisque firing. Beautiful and excellent narration too. Thank you.
Calling it now, you sir will hit a million subs before the end of the year!
everything about your videos are exquisite!
The glaze detail at the end- wow that is beautiful!
This is the first video from you that I watch and I'm in love! Will be binge watching your content. Its so relaxing!
Thank you Laura! So pleased you liked the video, enjoy the watching marathon.
Love it Florian! Plates have been my nemesis recently, but there is something special about pulling a nice set out of the kiln. Your trimming on this one was fantastic!
Cheers! Plates are difficult things, they also produce so many trimmings, especially for the larger versions of these. I'll hopefully be pulling more out of my kilns soon too once I purchase some proper plate setters to fire them on.
Florian your voice and throwing process are absolutely mesmerizing. Watching them is as relaxing as getting a massage. Many thanks!
I have fallen asleep to some of his videos both narrated and ASMR, whenever I have difficulty going to sleep. Watching his videos also reminds me of the two ceramics classes I took in collage; throwing on the wheel was the most difficult and fun part for both classes.
If only I have this clarity in my life and work😂. Great job 👏
Thank you once again for a very inspiring and educational video. We never had mandatory ceramics classes in my arts Uni, so I've had to start learning on my own. As an arts teacher I have to teach ceramics to kids, and I've found many art teachers from where I come from dread teaching 'clayworks' as they call it. It has been quite a slow process to learn on my own. I've attended some ceramics open courses here and there, but nobody has explained basics thoroughly. Students just come to work on their own projects.
For example wedging or throwing aren't taught with much detail or specificity, the barebone basics are given. I understand skill comes with practice, but it does help to understand what you're doing!
I have found your videos very helpful. I am inspired to see how you make your work seem effort less. Well it is not, of course. But your endless hours of work do show in your pristine work.
How long do you work in your studio each day? It would be interesting to see a video on a 'typical day at the studio'. Thank you, Florian Gadsby for your exceptional work, it is a joy to follow!
I think you may have shown me a potential second profession.
Your work is beautiful, and your videos are really informative and perfectly put together.
The quality of your videos keeps getting better and better! I love that you give detailed explanations of your tools and techniques.
Thank you for sharing & detailing the work involved, I think you are definitely helping the ceramics community & the art form gain respect
Such beautiful, experienced work with so much love that goes into each piece. Thank you so much for these videos. It gives me a more complete appreciation for artists and craftsman.
I'm addicted to your videos xx
Wow! Beautiful craftsmanship! I saw a girl try out pottery today on TH-cam and it got me interested and then I found your channel! Definitely subscribing! Great content, beautiful work!
Thank you Kerra! So pleased you found me and enjoy the videos so much.
I love the end result!
I'm a huge fan, and after weeks of watching your stuff i saw the video detailing your apprenticeships, which only solidified my respect for your craft. Ive never really touched clay, in fact i spend most of my time either working or playing videogames, but your work is so beautifully methodical and the end product always so clean/refined its incredibly entertaining to watch the process.
Thanks so much Eleven - your kind words really do mean so much. I wish I had time to play video games these days, I used to a lot when I was younger but keeping up with social media seems to have mostly replaced that 😬 appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Again your videos r so satisfying, and I'm realizing how interested in pottery I've been lately! It's very fun and relaxing.
This video was extremely helpful
thank you. the plates look lovely.
Special talented people in the world are numbered. You are one of them for sure.
You're too kind, thank you so much!
What an awesome video! The audio made it all the more better. I’m new to pottery and I found this very helpful and inspiring 🤎
Thank you for your video and explanation of process and reasoning behind your actions, I find it very informative.
I love these plates, I wanna make them for some of my friends, the gift of life could be thankful!
i loved it. going to give pottery a go this week and wow i just love how you narrate this
I'm so happy to have been able to watch
How do you make all these different things 🤔 and teach us. Thanks.
When are you releasing new stock on your website?
I admire your craft and think you have really mastered it. It's absolutely amazing!
Hopefully sometime in April! And thank you so much 😊
Thanks again Florian. Love your detail and your glazes are beautiful. cheers Mx
I loved the way you explained centering and you are an amazing artist 🥰
Thanks Ranjit! I'm pleased it helped, all it takes sometimes is to hear something explained in a particular way for it to make sense. That's what I was like when I was learning to make pots anyhow.
@@floriangadsby 감사합니다 저는 한국사람이고요 도자기에 관심이많은 사람입니다 당신의 작품은 훌륭하고 멋지심니다 근데 사용하신 점토의 종류와 유약의 종류를 알고 싶습니다 😂😄
I love these videos, they really help me relax .
So well done and greatly narrated. Great results!!!
Another beautiful and informative video Florian! ☺️
That is why yt should exist. For that kind of videos. Not for fcking pranks. Thank you for your videos
I’m a huge fan of your work! Such a craftsman 🙌🏻
This is incredibly thorough and informative. Thank you
Thank you for your beautiful videos. Your attention to detail and effort into your videos are appreciated….! ♥
Such nice work as always! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Merry Christmas to you Florian, to your family, friends and followers, from Quebec City, Canada! Mastered relatively late while learning to throw on the wheel, I love throwing plates and I learned from my teachers different ways and tried them. Throwing plates is not difficult but quite particular, and as you explain and show in your video, there are many important details from beginning to end... I love watching your videos and paying attention to all your remarks, so valuable all !!! There is no end to learning, so I think and I experience it myself. Take care and keep your beautiful work going! Happy to learn along watching you, many, many thanks and love!
Great video, I would love to see a video about your glazing process !
Thank you, I've been eagerly awaiting this video.
Such gorgeous flatware! Im brand new to throwing and your videos inspire me to keep practicing. Thank you for your hard work and great art!
Thank you Caralyn! I'm so glad to hear that, I hope the videos, those in the past and those in the future, will be useful to you. Thanks for taking the time to watch and best of luck on your potting ventures.
Beautiful! Thank you so much. Am just starting out and this is so incredibly helpful and inspiring.
Very pretty results :) and very satisfying to watch^^ thank you!
Absolutely love these
Excellent content! Keep it coming
Gorgeous plates there
Thank you very much for the time and care you took to make this video. it’s so helpful as I am looking at making a set of 12 matching plates. So appreciate it! 0:23
Superb videos. Thank you for the fine exact explanation🙏
Excellent video Florian! I definitely learnt a lot from watching you. Thank you for sharing all your tips on transfer plates and preventing warping. Can you please do a video about how you glaze? I'm sure you would have so much helpful advice :)
Thanks for uploading the video. It motivates me to create better ceramics.
I absolutely love that glaze! I use similar kinds and love to paint India ink on after firing just to make all those fine lines in the glaze pop. Super cool!
Wonderful work, excellent video. Thanks!
Thank you for another lovely video - I am a bit in a rut with my wheel but you have such good pointers on making plates I need to try my hand at making them - thank you as always for the great tips and inspiration x
So pleased to hear that. Thanks for taking your time to watch and best of luck with the plates, they aren't the easiest of forms but I suppose it depends on how complex you decide to make them.
I always wonder how to put them in the kiln for the glaze firing .. was hoping you would explain it :D
Great video as always! I love that you share so much knowledge and do everything with so much love! Thank you!
Beautiful plates ❤😍
First time watching your channel and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm so excited for this video!! I'm going back home from UNI in a few weeks and I'm so excited to get back to my wheel and try to do one of these! As always, thanks for these great videos!! Have a lovely day x
Thanks so much Sofía for watching and best of luck potting when you get back to it, have a lovely Sunday too!
Those plates are so cool and clean, I could eat off of them ;)
Lovely video, and lovely to see how you work. Thank you :).
I absolutely love your videos! This was very helpful.
Thank you Sammy! So pleased you found it useful.
This video came at an amazing time my next assignment is plates❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks beautiful with the glaze 😊
Thankyou for sharing your talent and experience. It inspires many.
Have you explored on a video the different types of glazes? I threw my first bowl of sorts a week ago... and hooked.
Hai Florian, thanks for your respons. I am a hobby potter and sometimes it's a kind of wealth that i can ask questions to proffesional potters on things i do not know. Thanks for that, and i hope when i have more questions, if it's oke, i will ask you more. Greetings Kees.
Wow..! that plate was awesome 😍✨🔥
Magical fingers produce magical products.
Your plates are beautiful thanks
Very impressive!!!
And I prefer a pink colored plate not burned-out yet. Pink color is very warmly and gorgeous.
It looks like indian pink color.
Beautiful ❤️
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. Great as always.
When you need to replace some of those MDF bats, maybe you should try HDF (high density fiberboard). Same material but denser. It is more resistant to moisture and should last longer before warping.
Who else is extremely interested in this right now but has never ever tried it? like ever
Great video! Subscribed
Thank you - it's a good craft and there's nothing really quite like it. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
So gorgeous! The plates are nice too ;)
I love watching your videos, I find myself holding my breath when your trimming so thinly lol. Thank you for taking the time to immerse us in your process, its incredible to have a peek into your studio practice and learn from you!
Amazing....
Beautiful....👍👍👍👍
me he vuelto muy fan gracias a ti. He descubierto un gusto que no sabía que tenía. Eres genial
This is so relaxing... very nice video. Thank you so much! :) ❤️
So pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to watch 🙌🏼
My new dream for when I get rich is owning a full set of these beautiful pieces Florian makes
Beautiful 💓
Hi there, great videos, so clear, precise and non egotistical. A joy to watch and listen to- will head over to Instagram to see if I can purchase a small item.
Beautiful 💖👏
i love your videos.. truly relaxing and informative thank you! Where do you get your bats from? Thank you for your help
I've recently gained an interest in learning and practicing pottery and found your videos. They are by far the best and most informative I've seen so far. I do have a quick rookie question though: I understand your gauge helps you measure the outside diameter, but how do you gauge the inside diameter while spreading it out so that It lines up with the base? Is that more of a feel thing or do you measure that with your calipers during trimming?
Nice to watch your channel
Beautiful
thanks a lot for your video and all the details you are sharing!!! the few times I have tried my luck with plates, through drying process I got the following results: either the bottom wasn't flat any more after a few hours of drying or the plate was split to two parts when it was leather hard (bottom & rim). I flip it at some point (not between two bats as you do it) and then it splits... Is it a good idea to put weight on it to avoid wrapping? I really could use your advise (keeping in mind that I am a newbie). thank you in advance!
This makes me want to try pottery
Thank you for sharing your learnings, the narrated tips are so helpful :) I’m getting my first wheel and kiln next week and have just been doing lots of research, which has included viewing many of your videos :)
I’m curious about your final finished plate as the glaze looks like what I think may be called crackle? I had been reading a lot about food safe glazes, would love to understand your view of that kind of glaze and if/how you test it for leaching. I generally have seen the lemon juice tests but won’t all glazes have a bit of colour change AND still be considered food safe?
Thank you kindly for any thoughts on this :)
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative and incredibly comfortable to listen to and watch. I just have one question that I can't seem to find a video which answers: how do you dip the plates in glace without getting any indents?
I like the monotone delivery
Beautiful finished product! I just love how meticulous you are with your work. So inspiring! On a side note, does your wedging surface have a finish or is it just finely sanded birch plywood? Do you have any problems with wood particles adhering to your wet clay?
always, completely blown away of everything you make !
So amazing 😊
Thanks Sabina :)
