The Most Popular Pots I Make

- Miniature jars are the subject of this week's video, from throwing the components, trimming them all to fit, bisque firing them, waxing them, glazing them and finally reduction firing the tiny vessels to 1290ºC. Phew. Hopefully this video, with all its sped-up segments, give you a good idea of all the sheer repetition there is when creating pottery like this. It's all worth it though, as these are some of my favourite pots I've made in a while.
Thanks for watching!

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.
*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.

Small jars aren’t useless at all, they’re perfect for anything from spices to sewing notions.
Dice shaker/rollers :o
I'd love to use them to hold water for painting!
Spices should be kept in an airtight container if you want them to last more than a year, especially ground ones
@@NyxWhiteFang
Ground spices should definitely be in a sealable jar for multiple reasons, you can put frequently used whole spices in these jars. Or use them for other small things like sewing notions if you prefer.
@@ragnkjaOften used loose leaf Tea could perhaps be put in. I’m thinking of Chamomile specifically. Sugar, or Honey if the pot is glazed. For Spices, Red Pepper Flakes are a common one. Or Freshly Dried Peppers generally.
The fact that you are able to come up with 25 different vessel shapes is incredible.
I struggled to come up with 5 shapes whenever I threw on the wheel :P
I love these tiny jars. They're beautiful, and you can collect so many different things in them - or just collect the jars themselves. ;)
I use tiny jars all the time, as a fiber artist! I use them for my tools and supplies such as stitch markers, needles, tatting shuttles, pins, and more. I also use them as an owner of a tiny bird - many of my pet supplies fit into such jars, and I also collect molted feathers in them.
I would love using one of these for salt or other spices, they are absolutely lovely and charming. You should be proud of creating such a delicate and beautiful thing.
oh those are the kind of little jars that are perfect for holding small amounts of loose leaf tea, (especially if the buyer fits a small silicone ring around the lid to help keep more air out) its a good size for basically anything small and loose. buttons! coarse grained salt!, rock sugar for tea time! little jars and caddies are a super nice thing to have on hand.
I agree these will be great to store loose leaf tea! Good idea about the rubber/silicone ring! They’ll look cute sitting next to the teapot!!
I finally received my small cylindrical white jar. I LOVE it. It is truly magical to hold after watching for all this time.
The dedication you have to your craft is absolutely inspiring.
i am so obsessed with this channel. the videos are so good. everything here calms my mind down.
also every single thing you produce is beautiful ❤
i always need more vessels for my bits and baubs, I think those are my favorite kinds :)
Small but perfectly formed, great video to watch learn and admire. thankyou
These look like pots that every person gives their own special, particular use. I hope one day I can buy one of these! Thanks for your videos Florian. Your work is precious.
I really appreciate how seamless the angle of the lid’s edge matches the angles in the jar to complete the profile of the piece. ❤
Lovely little pots! Thanks for showing the whole story. The end was satisfying to see, moving and spinning the lids.
@@AlanDayley I agree! spinning the lids was super satisfying ❤️
These really are darling. I love seeing the firing process and the glaze transformation. The glassy like crackle is soo soo pretty. I also liked the larger version of these in the background. I feel they'd hold flour and rice so nicely.
I did make it to the end. It is fascinating watching you work. You seek perfection and you get it. Thanks for sharing.
25 minutes of a Florian video and then football ⚽️ Sunday evening sorted then 😂
I also love making and using small lidded jars. They can help tidy up cluttered spaces and they look so cute ;-) Btw, thanks for the tip with the grinding paste. I had the exact same paste in my shed for years but didn't use it for pottery until you showed it in an earlier video. I absolutely love the feel of those ground contact areas.
Thank you so much for explaining the process and showing everything from start to finish. I find all of this so fascinating! Your pots are so beautiful and I love these small ones. What really astounds me, though, is how you don’t drop these little pieces into your buckets of glaze! As I watch this, I feel that if I were to do this, my glaze buckets would be full of accidentally-dropped tiny pots! 😂
Of course I made it to the end! Great work, as always.
I love these little pots, particularly seeing them all together. A grouping of 3 or 5 would be wonderful on a mantel or window sill. I can think of a few uses for them: loose tea or salt in the kitchen, rubber bands or paper clips on a desk, cotton balls or small hair clips in the bathroom. I would likely use them as small vases or to hold my stitch markers for crochet.
Always a big pleasure to watch until the end of your videos. I found them very informative and inspiring. I’m thinking seriously get one of those for my blended coffee ❤
Watching your whole creation process from beginning to end is always so satisfying, especially on such a diverse set of shapes! (I think the one that sort of looks like a chess piece is my favorite.) My father recently gave me a pot he made in college back in 1968 so I started sending him links to your videos - I'll have to send him this one too. Thank you for the wonderful content!
LOVE your video!! So informative, and not a lot of talking. And outdoor shot was nice.
Please keep doing these.
Great to see someone so dedicated, and talented.
I‘m not a potter (other than a few attempts at school decades ago). But I live crafts and work with my hands. I love your videos and find them relaxing.
These are so sweet! And as always, there’s so much to be learned from watching your videos, and not only about pottery. Fascinating!
I do love these. As a beginner, I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!
so helpful, I'm going to try making a lidded jar next!
The handwriting though!
They are beautiful keepsake jars. I always watch to the end. Thanks
My life's goal is to own a Florian Gadsby piece.
Real
Little pots are fabulous, we all have little things that need storing in little jars, also this glaze is something else ❤
Love your videos! So eloquently delivered and helpful 🙏🏽
Of course you have beautiful calligraphy like handwriting!
I love your shapes! So inspiring, I had to go get my sketchbook to get all the ideas down. I am a jeweller. 😊
They could function nicely as spice jars with a little wax or something to assist in making them airtight. They'd also be really good for storing small things for crafters, like beads, strings, or small tools.
The pot at 24:44 looks like a bell to me, and prolly my fav out of all of the 25
Your process is amazing! Thank you for sharing.
I love the small pots. Might be one of my most favorite things I’ve watched you create.
Always a joy to watch!
I find your video somewhat therapeautic. In a fast paced anxiety driven high on dopa generation, this art of pottery is something that soothes my mind. Will try my hands in this soon!
Your pots are so perfect, i kept feeling your hands were ginormus!
Thank you, very enjoyable to watch and learn - the pots look great. Keen to see how you’ll improve the feet
So, you throw about 2 mm wider lids? Your work is the definition of precision!
More or less, just a fraction larger means I've got excess material to work with incase my jars are thrown incorrectly.
You say these jars are too small to be useful, but I would save my move precious spices and teas in these. As always, absolutely stunning work
Such inspiration.
These look gorgeous
Nailed again. 🫡
SO CUTE MUCH INSPIRED
You made me really Love ceramics
This is so helpful
Those glazes with the fleck in the clay 🤌
So shiny, so new.
I gyatt to watch Florian Gyattsby
These small jars would make an excellent decorative sugar jar for setting on the counter for making coffee or what not if you can leave enough room between the jar and lid to set a rubber gasket to keep moisture out of the sugar. I would love to have some for that if the gasket could be figured out. Also you could make some pretty awesome larger jars for flour and things also with a gasket. I live in a very humid area and being able to properly seal these jars is very important and I don’t love the normal plastic jar options. I would really prefer to use jars like you make but is not practical without a seal
Made it to the end as always
21:32 my favorite part of the video!
Amazing
Found your channel a week ago, now trying to work out where I can do a course on pottery.
Pleased to have you onboard and GOOD LUCK!
always make it right to the end Florian......always...
They’d be good for storing dice for D&D
What are the 2 different types of plugs/stoppers. Will you please explain if there are 2 different kinds being changed out for when kiln is in reduction mode.
NEW FLORIAN GADsBY DROP!!??!?!?!!
Literally jumped with joy when I saw this post
Those mini jars looks so cute 😅
That's the perfect way to describe them really.
Make some of these small pots with the red clay❤
When can we see the crimson pots fired? I'm curious to see the final color result.
When I fire them, yes! I've just starting another making cycle and have another project I need to start on, so it may be a while unfortunately.
I made it to the end.
Would these forms be harder to throw off the hump? Would it help the production speed to do either the bodies or the lids off the hump?
This is what I get for asking questions before finishing the video xD.
Thanks for anticipating my question, Mr Gadsby.
hello florian .... love the clean pottery that you make and follow al your videos ... but can you make a locking jar in your style ???
It is true: Size does not matter, only the technique.
I feel like a diamond blade on a grinder would be a better tool than a hammer at removing stuck pots
When pots are being thrown, how do you make sure that dimensionally you get the size you want in the final product after the firing, since they tend to shrink? Do you make everything a certain dimension bigger, or is it normally just guess work
reminds me of edmund de waal creations
@3:06 Doggie Shake AMSR
Very cool 😊 how much do you sell the small jars for? 😊
ive seen just about every video to the end
I understand not trimming the lip of the jar before trimming the lid for the jar, like you said, it just becomes too delicate, but how come it can withstand the force when you're trimming the bottom and applying all the pressure from your finger and the rest of the vessel?
anywho, I enjoy your content, you understand how to make videos very well, and you're an amazing ceramicist.
Tiny teapots next? 😅
just curious- are those temperature spikes that line the top of the kiln recoverable in any way, say by hanging them inverted during a firing, or are they just a sunk cost? always a pleasure to be welcomed into your process, thank you for sharing
Well, you can't really fire them again, you can grind them up and add the materials as grog to clay perhaps? Or, I've seen people use them in a decorative way, (still fired functionally), but they're pressed into a small carved dragon and they melt as if the spines of the beast, and then they're sold for a few quid.
@@floriangadsby aye, they've got some form to them, i'd imagined someone might have used them as-is (or post-use, i guess) for decoration. likesay, the question just popped into my head, good to know
what would happend if you let it cool down till 260c and open the pluges or let it just crash down fast
fancy fish food jars
If you glaze fire a pot without glaze, will it still be as strong as one with glaze or does the glaze help to strengthen the pots?
From watching other videos, it might not change much from the electric firing. The thing that would have changed would be the iron bits in the clay melting. So probably not much change.
Also from a cost perspective, could not be worth doing
Most clay bodies need to be fired twice to vitrify the ceramic. You don't have to add glaze for the second firing. If clay is not vitrified it will still be porous.
Could a Gas Kiln be made to use Hydrogen Gas at some point, as a more sustainable alternative to natural Gas? Since Hydrogen can simply be Split from Water with electricity.
Theoretically it should work similarly since burning it also consumes oxygen in the air, as opposed to the resistive Heat from Electric kilns. Making Reduction Firing possible.
I'm sure there's specifics that are very different tho,
I would use it to store my teeth that fall out
Why was the kiln shelf painted? Sorry if it's obvious 😊
It is a kaolin formula, emulsion. It is used to prevent the shelf from damage. When a glaze drops it won't stick to shelf that easily, and there are chances it could be removed (although still it is hard, depends how big/small is the drop or point of contact with glazed pot)
Or maybe it was water- to clean
Fiddly as F. I keep getting slight BauHaus vibes. Might sound odd but I'd love a Gadsby Urn ...
Sir, as an American cannabis user, we want these for our coffee table stash of grass. Please dont take any offense to that, we dont put our prized flower into just any container. If someone is using your jar for that reason, it is like someone putting their finest wine in the most elegant bottle.
You can put your weed in there.
dude you can put your weed in there
Pot pot
Gangsters. Get the fuck off this forum. I will ensure prosecution.
Is this how it was trafficked. The Weed. How many of you involved. Not weed but that *compound* that harmed a lot of people. Covid.
Flappy flappy ears!! Good doggie! 🥰
He thinks he can do BETTER. omg.
And that is why i continue to watch each video to the end…
