12:20 “… if that is something you guys are interested in seeing” buddy, I’ll tell you flat out, I’m interested in seeing whatever you’re interested in making, because you make it so interesting.
Such a different piece but yet absolutely yours. Excited to see you iterate even further. I would like to see it with a wife and square spout. Remember, it's all over the news, 'It's hip to be square '
I'm in the US and so grateful for your video today--to see you create something delightful and hear your charming narrative is like magic for the horrors of what is happening over here. Thank you.
A lot of people don't realise just how much thought goes into the design process for new ceramic forms meant to perform a function. I make yarnbowls (among other tools) full-time, and sell at fibre and textile shows around the UK, every new product I come up with has been mulled over and trialled from my own experience with fibre and textiles, just like you've done with your jugs. I do like the look of those spouts! I can imagine a cascade of them each filling the one below.
I love to watch you craft your ideas, it's just magical, thankyou for sharing, I like the angled spout, now you've done it, I wasn't sure when you spoke about it, but now you've done it, haha who am I to disagree with you. I enjoy all your videos, so tweeks, mininimal changes, will be good to go through your thought processes.
What a beautiful piece. A teardrop hole for the spout I feel would look neat with the pot as depending on how sharp you make it. Also, In my opinion, I like to see whatever you are interested in pursuing or trying, so please share your new ideas for the third batch :) Also, would you consider adding a handle on the opposite side of the pot to aid in pouring? Though I know you generally don't include handles on your pots.
even though you weren't crazy about the carbon on the tip of the spout in a way it worked with the colors of the glaze and looked a little like the black iron spots. as always beautiful work.
7:15 How would you deal with it, spray some water on dryer areas, give it some time to soak to get similar consistency and the try again like @ 14:00? Thanks for amazing videos I just love watching and soaking up the knowledge, and yes I would love to see new evolution of this item with new ideas that you have, and not only want but I kind a feel invested now 💜
I am definitely interesting in seeing how you "improve" these pots and what your ideas are. Testing, adjusting is all part of the process and very educational! Have you thought about making one that doesn't have a hole, but a spout that is attached to the rim? Is the hole mostly aesthetics? I just made one for sake, but unfortunately it doesn't pour well - it ends up dripping so I am in the market for different pouring techniques.
I don't know if this is impossible but I love how pouring kettles for filter coffee work, with that long gooseneck spout I wonder if these can be done in ceramic
I think trying one where the top ends of the spout where the water pours could be slightly cut and tapered back to the pot to sort of mimic your specific style and give the spout more character and or reduce the risk of the top ends from chipping off. A small slice with the wire tool when you cut the cylinder in half, another small angled cut off the end part, ever so slightly though. It may mess up the whole pouring process so idk.
Couple ideas/sugestions: One idea is to cut a second angle along the top edge of the pour spout of the to match the flat top of the vessel. The second idea was an angular Vee cut from the lip of the vessel to the top of the pour spout hole. Not sure how that would affect the pour, but it might fit in with your angular designs. Perhaps a shammy wipe of the pour spout top edges to give it the similar finish as the vessel top edge.
I've heard it said that as the clay dries and unwinds, spouts can rotate. Of course, you wouldn't notice a difference if the spout was round, but on a spout where you thin the pouring edge, or on a half spout, I would think that you would. Did you find this to be the case? And if so, how would you compensate for that/and in which direction?
How about an angular spout? Starting from round, and then pinched at the tip to a v shape, maybe even cut the walls back at the tip to reduce dribbling. So cool to see the visual language take physical shape!
I was wondering about a more actually angular spout, one with a hexagonal cross-section and the top side sliced away. (How this would be done, I've no idea. Maybe throwing the spout extra thick and slicing the sides away?)
Neat process. Maybe my sense of aesthetics is different, but it might be neat to have a spout that has a radius which is tangent to the lower angle of a piece which it attaches onto. So that lower angle just flows and carries into the spout visually as a contrast to the upper angle where the spout attaches. However the placement is a bit high to pull that off on the pieces in the video, so there may be reasons that I don't know about that don't allow the kind of thing I'd picture. Not a criticism, just thinking of something.
Recall watching your glaze video. Curious if you have every tried changing the PH level of the water you mix, or if filtered water- purified- spring- mountain water. If so, what effects does it change?
Did you consider increasing the height of the upper section by a centimetre or more? It would negate much of the pouring issues you have experienced. I expect you have, but then is it that you think the form would suffer if extended upwards?
They look neat, but maybe too high up? It seems like the water can pour out the top accidentally, maybe I'm just too used to there not being an additional bit of the rim continuing above the spout?
I love pottery so much and love your technique but I went to your shop and almost got an heart attack! I can't even afford the book and I really wanted to read it 😔
The top of the spout hole should me much lower than the top lip. Otherwise it's really annoying to pour as you will be trying hard to keep the liquid from pouring over. You can see it happening when you wash the pot in the sink. Either that or make the hole have a larger diameter, to allow for a larger flow rate

Just the motivation I needed to get on the wheel today!
From the thumbnail already, I am mesmerised. Plus the voiceover is so relaxing and fitting ❤
Stunning pieces Florian. The "defects" that you are unhappy with just give the pieces character. 😊
Hearing “diddler” used now in an actual sentence with such matter of fact is hilarious 😂

Watching you is always a relaxing moment for me, so thank you.
very cool. excited to see the next iteration!

oooh very excited by the idea of black clay and crimson glaze
Great demonstration of the creative process. Thanks
As always beautiful and informative.
Inspiring me to practice on the wheel today!

Oh, but the pale green one is beautiful! A lovely colour.

It's sundaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I was hoping you would make a spout with the same profile as the pot itself
Florian have you ever made a tutorial over moonjars?
What if you pierce the hole at an angle to help ease the fluid into the spout?
If you plan to experiment further with the spouts, do you think a spout cut at a slight angle rather than directly vertically would look appealing?
Neat process. Maybe my sense of aesthetics is different, but it might be neat to have a spout that has a radius which is tangent to the lower angle of a piece which it attaches onto.

I LOVED THE original piece. Pure form for function. I don’t think the newer ones were a particular improvement.
woot woot spouts be spouting
Did you consider increasing the height of the upper section by a centimetre or more? It would negate much of the pouring issues you have experienced. I expect you have, but then is it that you think the form would suffer if extended upwards?
If you put the spout hole right where the two angles meet, you would probably get an easier pour without liquid left in the vessel.
Do you ever sand when bone dry instead of bisqued
i would love to see the progressive itterations of these pieces
They look neat, but maybe too high up? It seems like the water can pour out the top accidentally, maybe I'm just too used to there not being an additional bit of the rim continuing above the spout?
Great observation!
And idea!
Did the clock change confused the US-based scheduling servers?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why is it necessary to have to tops of the spouts halved? Why not just have rhem closed cylinders?
Just for the look, it changes the pour a little bit. It's just a matter of personality
Great video
It could also be to avoid glugging, as a full spout could trap air easier than this halved one
Black clay and crimson glaze sounds really interesting and not something I remember you working with
11:58 🧐
realizing just how easily that could be thrown into a chicken shape and that just made my day
I love pottery so much and love your technique but I went to your shop and almost got an heart attack! I can't even afford the book and I really wanted to read it 😔
I use Vaseline instead of wax it works well
lmao "The Diddler"

Yikes! Seems you sand dry, not wet?
I’m literally doing it under a tap.
why you lose water like this
