      Make as many different feet as you want! Having fun with the proccess is the most important in my opinion and having different styles of feetwells will call to even more people you have not had before! Keep on inspiring brother! ✨️

      Hi Florian I just got my mug in the mail a few days ago but I think it is the wrong color glaze. I ordered the dark green crackle glaze but the glaze on mine is much lighter/pailer and not as green and does not really look like when you show the dark green crackle glazed mugs in the video.

There is always a chance I sent the wrong colour! But let’s see, shoot me some images if you could, and this message again, to hi@floriangadsby.com

      The best one by far is the multiple shallow steps @10:30. @11:1 is boring and heavy. @11:34 isn't very unique. @9:45 is alright but not very delicate unlike your pottery designs. @11:58 is too much. @10:50 looks too much like the bottom of a glass wine bottle?

    I recently looked at your sold out shop and was surprised by the cost of even a small mug like these, but this video is a perfect example of why the level of skill and care put into even the simplest piece of pottery you make means if anything your pottery is underpriced.

    I really enjoy #3 for some reason. I like that your testing new ideas and focusing on areas of pots that I think we sometimes forget about or don’t put much thought into because it’s seen less, but it’s so cool to intentionally make it beautiful and captivating for those little glimpses when one drinks from it or is washing it. Such a cool idea Florian!

    I like all of them! The ones that i like the most are the ones with different curves, concave and convex, rather than the others with the steps. I also think that the hues of the glazes are very subtle in a beautiful way and the fading in the rims ads so much interesting in the pieces. I also really like the one with the glaze in the bottom, the narrow mug, but somehow it seems to belong to a different serie. Thank you so much for sharing the process in such detail, I am trying to learn pottery and is sooooo much more complex that what it looks. 😊

    5:03 suggestion for the footed mugs: cut out a small notch in the foot level with the interior. This way when they are washed in a dishwasher, the water can drain from the foot. I have a couple mugs that do this and they are so much nicer to remove from the dishwasher. All the other mugs I have to wipe away the excess water from the bottom with a dish towel before putting away in the cabinet.

    • @Ahnii
      @Ahnii 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      I find 3 notches to be the sweetspot, because at no angle the mug will collect water but to be fair, his work is way too special to be cleaned in the dishwasher!

    • @rnptenafly
      @rnptenafly วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@Ahnii nonsense, this is ceramic stoneware with vitreous glazes. It’s not delicate porcelain with gilt decoration.

    • @Kittyintheraiyn
      @Kittyintheraiyn วันที่ผ่านมา

      That would completely ruin the aesthetic of the steps on the bottom. A mug this nice, it should be hand-washed anyway. Just because it can go in the dishwasher, doesn't mean it should.

    • @rnptenafly
      @rnptenafly 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @ it is more ecologically sound to use dishwashers. This is not delicate decorated porcelain. Glazed stoneware is as dishwasher safe as plain glass. Just because it is hand crafted does not mean it needs to be treated with kid gloves. 🙄

    It's hard to say which *specific* cup is my favorite, as I can see the pros and cons to each, and why those exact features could catch someone's eye! You did a marvelous job creating each one, I honestly really love all the attention you gave to a spot on a cup not many people would ever see. Like it's a little wonderful surprise to anyone who decides to take a peek! I think that's why the mugs you mentioned were "overdesigned", cups 2 and 6, and are actually my favorites haha! I just love the simplicity of the exterior and the surprising detail on the underside---a flip of expectation.
    I'm also absolutely in love with how the glaze turned that beautiful pale, pale blue. Especially the filled underside of cup 4. My gosh, that little pool of dawn-blue glass is unbelievable. (I wonder how cups 2 and 6 might look with a filled base like that?) Incredible work, man!!

  • @graefx
    @graefx วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I see what you mean about the bottoms feeling "heavier" with #2
    For my sensibilities I think more complex, numerous, and smaller steps work better than a single large one because of how it juxtaposes with the overall shape of the mugs. Big sides with a single step, and then underneith a smaller area with a lot more.
    I think with 8 there so many different angles and depth to it, it feels at odds with itself. Sort of a "pick a lane" problem, if you pushed the depths more in different directions youd arrive at one of your chalices.
    They look wonderful after firing.
    b is probably my favorite. The shadows and gradients are really lovely. I like 'e' a lot. The lower step gives it a vibe of stability instead of heaviness and its weirdly comforting. Same with g and h. I love how the glaze settled on j along the edges and rim with the red.

    As to any favorite it's hard to choose, my only misgiving is the narrow foot, it's lovely to look at but wouldn't want to spill

    The angular base that catches the light - this one looks really good and I would be flipping this mug over to admire the base every time I used it. I don't think the flat spot in the center is a bad thing at all, it has a very slight convex shape that somehow nicely complements the way the angular rims reflect the light. I can't speak for the look you are searching for but for me this is a mug I would happily use.

    These bottoms would be amazing for flower pots. I know as long as they are not painted, clay pots in general get more air than one made out of plastic. But these bottoms would allow even more air flow and be amazing for drainage. Just add a small hole in the bottom center and one or two on the bottom outer edge for drainage.

    I really love the footwells overall. One or two were of average interest to my eyes, but a few of them were magnificent and immediately had me wanting them in my collection of hand-thrown mugs. Specifically, 3, 4, 5, and 10. I like the shape of 8, but not the foot as much.
    And then, after firing, my favorites are a, e (with the maker’s mark moved), and i (it goes so well with the mug shape). (Maybe I’ll go back and see if my favorites changed from pre-glazed to glazed and fired. 😅)
    P. S. I, too, love being able to feel areas where the maker’s prints are still present. There is something communal and connected about it.
    Thank you for the video! It is fascinating and rewarding to watch as you experiment with your designs.

    I think a nice idea would be having the ‘button mug’ have a curved portion joining the button to the outside of the foot (a semicircle so not be be as distracting as the curved mugs with the divots).
    Equally glazing the curved portions similarly to the small footed mug would be interesting, although the mugs sticking to the kiln shelf could be a problem.
    But in general I love the blotches of copper and I think if you intentionally didn’t wash your hands between placing some of the mugs, and you got the two glazes to briefly interact, it could look great!!

  • @cavemann_
    @cavemann_ 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    5 is nice. What I also think would be nice is an inverted step, where the cup's circumference increases after the step. I think it would especially look nice on a slanted edge cup.

    I have collected a lot of handmade mugs over the years as I am a furniture maker and attend a lot of craft shows. As the old saying goes form follows function and as already stated I agree it would be a nice touch to incorporate a drainage system into deeply recessed bottoms. I have to unload the bottom rack of the dishwasher first because I don't want to spill all the water "which I have doubts about its health quality " that remains in the cups even set at an angle to try and prevent this. Maybe three punctures or small channels?I think it would be a wonderful marketing tool also. And since I am writing this I remember while taking a pottery course I discussed the idea of introducing explosive powders as in the stuff used to make fireworks , my father was in the business for fifty years and to achieve the brilliant colors they use a lot of different metal oxides and other chemicals that I thought would add a really interesting finish in either the bisque or glazing process. Obviously my instructor looked at me like i was crazy but...think about it.

    I have never worked with clay, so this may sound silly, but am I the only one who holds their breath when they're creating the foot? You know how when you're watching an action movie where they stop just a millimeter from the edge of a cliff and the rocks roll down? That's how I feel lol There has to be talent and experience behind knowing when to stop so they don't go through the bottom or make it too thin.

    Lovely video as always!
    About a pug mill, I have always disliked using those. It could just be user error on my part, but I always end up with very inconsistent wads of clay, full of air pockets and dry chunks, so I always find myself hand wedging them, that is if I can, as sometimes it’ll split and tear too easily. I prefer using just a reclaim bucket and plaster bats as well, as the results are always far more consistent from my experience. (That’s something I learned from you quite a while ago) Perhaps if the pug mill that I am used to wasn’t from a communal studio it would be much easier to get useable stoneware, but I still prefer wedging by hand.

    To preserve the visual unity of the bottoms, could you put your makers mark at the base of the handle?It would be symmetrical and initially like a quiet decorative mark.

    The angles of 3 and 8 and their shadows remind me of the shape of the eye, the iris' recessed cone.

    Very nice. I have to say I do love having interest on the bottoms of the things I make. I've never heard or thought about the liquid inside staying hotter longer if there is a void between the table and the cup's bottom. In theory this makes sense but I'm wondering if it's a big enough difference to matter.

    @30:24 Yes it can be quite fun.

    Thank you for your inspiration Florian. Where do you store your chuck? Is it leather hard?

    I really love #3, #8, #9. But they’re all so lovely to look at.
    And as for #8 at 19:17, I feel like it’s too deep, just a bit too angular, and it makes the shadows more dramatic

    Hello Florian! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I've always noticed you refer to tungsten carbide as "tungsten" in short. I think this is more of a nitpick than anything, but it might be less confusing to newcomers if you shortened it to "carbide" instead; since tungsten by itself is a metal, someone might get the wrong idea and think they're actually made of tungsten metal (though this is less of a problem when considering you often say "tungsten carbide" in full). Thanks for the great video as always! :D

    The stepped body shape is really interesting! I've never seen a mug like that before.
    Is it possible to keep the step more defined after glazing? The welled up material rounded the step, which was a little disappointing to me. Not as defined a look.
    The button foot is really pleasing to see! I liked most of the feet, honestly. They all had interesting aspects to them.

    When I first started I pulled a handle for most of my smaller pots even if it wasn't going to be a mug just to learn.

    N°2 is my favourite because it looks like there is a sleeve around the bottom of the cup making the base really look like a natural part of the cup.
    N°8 I think has the problem, that the angle of the base is too different from the cup making it look strange and not like part of the cup.

    The copper spot on the rim of "e" looks like a bugandy lipstick mark!

    What do you do with pots that fail? Do you smash all of them to bits or do you use the ones that have less catastrophic fails around your own house?

    Hey there, recently found your vids!
    Do you think you could do a tutorial on a "blate"/"deep plate"?
    Seems like mixing both a plate and a bowl isn't too hard, but maybe you got some tips? :)
