- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- This video goes into great detail about the entire creation process of a very simple, angular vase. From thrown, to trimmed, glazed and reduction fired to 1290ºc. Making pottery is a long process, with dozens of little steps along the way. My hope is that this video sheds some light on this process but if you do have any further questions, please do ask! And thanks, as always, for taking the time to watch!

HOW TO REDUCTION FIRE: • Loading and Reduction ...
Wadding recipe: 50% China clay and 50% coarse alumina hydrate, mixed slowly with water until it has a clay like consistency, then wedged and stored in an airtight container.

I don't know if you'll see this, but I started my first-ever pottery class a month ago - and thanks to your videos, I've learned so much about throwing pots on the wheel even if it's only been a few weeks! I'm definitely nowhere near perfect yet. Still, I owe a lot of my progress to your videos, they're always so informative and I love seeing videos like these from you where you try new things, it helps me realize that the learning process never stops, and it's really encouraging for me as a beginner, so thank you so much for uploading and sharing your accumulated knowledge with all of us! :)
It is such a joy listening to Crafters explain their work in such a detailed fashion because of how much joy it actually brings them. Always love your post
I like how you always end your vids with cleanup - since it's such an integral and crucial aspect of any potter's experience.
Can't be a potter without it... until of course I get an apprentice...
I'm 17 year's old, and I really would love to start working with ceramics. I'm going to be applying to art school so I can pursue this passion, but I unfortunately don't have the budget to start yet. Your videos are an amazing help and inspiration. I'm learning so much about pottery even though i can't actually work on my skills yet. Thank you so much for making the content you do!
Like many others here, I started a pottery course a few weeks ago and in the run up to starting, I binge-watched a huge number of your videos. It has given me such an enormous head start and it is almost like I've already done a course because I've not had to dwell on the basics. So if nothing else, you've saved me the cost of a beginners course. It has been so nice to come back and revisit the videos now that I've had some time at the wheel; it means that each week I can go back and adjust how I'm throwing. My teacher is fine but has 13 other students to look after, so I can honestly say that I've learnt a million times more from these videos. Without wanting to sound arrogant, all my colleagues on the course keep saying that I must be having secret lessons! Every time they say this, I just tell them to watch your videos. I am enormously grateful.
Noting on this world will make me more happy then this guy doing pottery.
i love beginning-to-end videos so much, especially watching the glazing / firing parts 💕
I'm watching your videos with my friends in Korea these days. I'm having fun working on it because you showed me how fun it is.
Wow. All through the video. I fell so much power and inspiration from your work. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
The way you talk about your processes is articulate, precise and meaningful. This is rare in pottery instructional videos and the reason why I am subscribing to your channel.
I am an intermediate potter and I tried the bevel on a mug that I was making, and it makes the pot stand out more, which I love! Thank you for the advice!
My sister recently started going on a pottery class, of course I've had to show your channel to her and she absolutely loved it! Thank you for making informative videos for who's starting on pottery and for making them so interesting that even people who doesn't want to try i out, like me, feel so entertained watching!
Thanks for sharing my work and I'm so glad she likes it too - good luck to her and I appreciate you taking the time to watch 🙌🏼
I watched it all the way through, & enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for sharing.
i liked the transition from the freshly thrown to the glazed piece in the end!
Florian, the narrative of your videos are exquisite!
Been binging a bunch of your vids. Usually to the end because cleanup is also pretty interesting. Love the stuff you do. Really inspired as I take my second round of community pottery class.
Oh wow. This was lovely. Of course i watched to the end! Riveting. Kind of a little potting wrap up, with all the steps
Great video and I watched to the end! Your videos have helped me a load! I so appreciate the skills you share and my favorite part of this video was seeing the process from lump of clay through to finish vase with sanded bottom. Thank you!
I love this Beginning to the End videos!!
I've been watching a lot of your videos, it's all really awesome and informative! Makes me want to get into pottery :D. Thanks for making such high-quality videos about your profession.
always right to the end of every video......
I have a new appreciation of ceramics and the artists. Wonderful video.
it’s so elegant with that very angled base and with the walls so thin it’s really amazing what clay can do (with a good potter that is lol)
i watched from beginning to end Great vid !
such peaceful watching, and listening....all the way to the end...thank you Florian
The vase looks absolutely stunning! I love the glaze!
Very incite full. I had no idea how much work went into pottery making. And how much precision with heating is needed. Super cool.
a joy to watch, as always.
I love that you really take us in depth through the process and include every single step. I re-watch your videos over and over because there is always something new that I previously missed. This is by far my most favorite one. I would never be able to see the process of a single of my pieces in one concise narrative like this. Much appreciated!
I loved watching this! I love seeing the journey of one pot from beginning to end.
It was interesting seeing the collection of the old pyrometric cones haha, they look so funny slumped over next to each other
I love watching your videos. As I watched this to the end my electric kiln is dow to 290°f. I will open it in the morning to see my “experiments”. Best wishes to you and yours!
Beautiful video; the amount of detail you show is always astounding. You really slow down and zoom in on the process
Throwing pottery is something I’ve always wanted to do. Thank you for a very interesting video.
I know it would be wasteful, so I'm not asking you to do it, but I think it would be really interesting to see what your glazes look like when they are fired without reduction.
The piece in this video is gorgeous. The angles look perfect.
Love these beginning to end videos
Another great video, thank you. I fooked up some side plates the other day, so i went back and watched your video and voila with your instruction I now have 6 nicely thrown 20cm side plates. Thanks so much for the guidance!
Been a while since I've watched. I really like the new video scene transitions at the end while showing the finished pot
I love your videos so much 😊 thank you for sharing in such a precise and beautiful way
25:40 I love that glaze!
Love your work Florian. Enjoy watching your videos 👍
I watched the whole video and I am amazed by your skill, your passion, and your preciseness. Your pieces are so beautiful and you are very thorough with how you explain the process. I started ceramics 9 months ago. I still haven't gone to a class, but videos like this help me so much. They give me inspiration and show me that ceramics is a never ending learning process which excites me. I cannot wait to launch my company soon :)
Thank you❗️
I always make it through!
Perfect
Thanks
Wow
I really liked the matte glazed pots! In particular, the larger shape with a lid that's a dark, dark matte green color. Is this a new glaze for you? It looks somewhat different from what we've seen before. Thanks as always for the video.
Hi. Love your work and teaching. Can you tell me the weight of the clay at the begining? Thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. How many hours do you spend in the studio a day?
Your way of filming is changing at the moment, isn’t it? You are trying out new things. Especially liked the “transition” from throwing to spinning the glaze-fired pot on the wheel.😊
The more footage I accumulate the more I can do - the biggest hinderance at the moment is my computer, which is slowly dying - but that'll change soon!
3:00 I mean, it's not like the wobble will be noticeable anyway. The only people who would put a pot or a vase on a spinning wheel after it is finished only exist in textbooks of physics exercises
Thank you! Why do you always put some already glassed pieces to burn again in the gas oven?
When you do a reduction fire, you said a more filled kiln fires better, the kiln runs out of O2 and goes for the air pockets in the items being fired. Is that what causes the 12% shrinkage? Does the creation of more space create more oxygen? Made it to the end!
where did you purchase your pottery tools and what brand are they?
Do you have any advice on how to price ceramic pieces? I see a wide variety of prices from below $100 to above $1,000. I know each piece is different, requires a different amount of work, and is made for all sorts of niches. Please let me know if you have any advice. ☺
Where can I find the black and white tool you used while trimming?
It’s a spinner made by a potter called Richard Carter, you can find him on Instagram at @richardcarter6952, you have to DM him and then he’ll send you one - fantastic tool!
Can I Order 😀😀
Hi
Florian, I've been wondering whether you couldn't modify an electric kiln with a supplemental, lower-power burner. This would allow controlling the temperature electrically while still having the opportunity to modify the atmosphere.
This might eventually help you keep going during gas shortages, and would allow you to achieve the desired results from a LNG tank or bottles.
As always, I enjoyed and appreciated your video!
They do this in Japan! Electric kilns with a hole in the base for a burner, Ken Matsuzaki fired a few times like that when I was there for my apprenticeship. I guess it's generally avoided because it causes the elements to wear out way faster but it makes gas firing easier in some situations. Thanks so much for watching!
Of course I made it all the way through! You'd have to be a psychopath to stop watching halfway...
