You’ve mentioned before (I think?) that you don’t necessarily like doing the time-lapse footage. But I think you’ve found a really good balance between real-time footage with instruction and time-lapse.
I think so! I don’t like them when they’re all the video is with music overtop or simply the sped up sound but in this case I intersperse them to show either how long these processes take or speeding up processes which I’ve already shown. Glad you like the videos and thanks for watching!
Good grief that's beautiful. I agree with you on loving stoneware, but there is just something about porcelain that is almost ethereal when done right. Fabulous job, Sir!
Simply outstanding. Although the world is in turmoil and decadence, I am thankful of living in this era where, with the click of a button, I can witness the work of masters such as you. Thank you so much for your dedication, both to the pieces you're making and to the editing and pacing of your videos.
Incredible! Thanks for taking the time to edit and narrate these videos, I know it must be a chunk of time for you! Such a treat, I've learned so much from you already.
It’s amazing how intricate the work is for such simple designs. It’s fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing your process. You provide so much inspiration.
Thank you! I'm pleased with them although a few of them did warp in the firing. Luckily I made enough to have a successful set. They may need to be trimmed a little more thickly next time to withstand cone ten.
Whew. An inspiring, exhaustive (not exhausting!) exploration of this same-but-different process in porcelain. The end result is even more breathtaking than imagined. Thank you for always making each step riveting. I never tire and always look forward to every new film. Though i go to class, i consider you my #1 teacher. Kudos.
since i first came upon your channel i've seen an incredible progress in your work. you've maintained your own gestalt while at the same time evolved and refined your processes. i'm not well versed in the art of pottery, but i can recognize that you put great effort in your works, and i hope to see your works to become greater in the future. Truly masterclass!
I don't think I've ever seen such traditional methods translating into a conceptual result. Is there any train of thought that inspired this design? I'm fascinated by your stone wear shapes as well. There is something deeply satisfying about perfect shapes in proportion.
This is the first time I have actually seen the use of the string to scrape the bottom cleanly to allow it separate from the board when dry. I often wondered how the items are priced off the base smoothly afterwards. Still watching...
Thanks for watching! It's a very fine twisted wire in fact, not string, although string is often used when throwing pots off the hump to separate the pot from the larger mass of clay beneath.
I'm back. Yet again, excellent video and wonderful explanations. I liked the little tip about coning the clay to one side to keep it from bulging in your hand. I was wondering of you'd be able to show an example (whether you have some or maybe keep some examples) of what can go wrong if certain things aren't done right. For example, badly wedged, badly coned, trimming when the piece isn't dry enough, trimming when the piece is too dry (provided of course you don't hurt your wrists!), glaze applied improperly, fired improperly, etc. I am a visual learner and it would really help to have examples. Sure, I'm not into pottery now because of school but I hope I can get into it after I'm done with school and have some free time. Thank you again.
That's a good idea for a video! It may take a while to accumulate the footage for it but I'll add it to my list of ideas. Thanks for watching Zanib, it really means a lot.
@@floriangadsby thanks for making the videos! It's clear you put your heart and soul into the videos as well as the pottery. I'm glad to be privy to that enthusiasm.
Beautiful! Love how the porcelain looks like velvety cream and yet, it's stone. A question, though, I'm quite new to pottery, but I haven't really figured out how to work with getting the piece stuck to the wheel with just slip. Do you ever experience pieces sliding off? What's the trick to make them stick hard to the wheel? And does it apply to stone ware as well? Thanks for an amazing video, as always! Cheers from Sweden ✨
Thanks! It’s literally just the bog standard wax emulsion most pottery suppliers sell. You can also just used molten bees wax or paraffin wax. I water down the wax emulsion I buy but I don’t recommend doing that with molten bees/paraffin as it can cause some pretty nasty fires.
Hey there! As a new(ish) potter looking to expand my horizons and get out of my comfort zone, I’ve been watching your videos obsessively! I’ve just begun working with porcelain and so far, so good. I don’t use a ton of water when throwing and with porcelain, I’ve been using even less. However, your advice about using porcelain slip instead of water is brilliant and I’m going to try it tonight. My question is - can I do this with all clays? It seems less wasteful and I’d love to replace water with slip when throwing but I’m wondering if this technique is particular to porcelain or if the same can be done with b mix, cinco blanco, etc… Thank you for providing such wonderful videos.
Something you said reminded me, Is it worthwhile for you as someone who makes projects at scale to try to salvage a single slightly / moderately damaged project, or does a defect just get smashed and recycled?
I once attended a japanese tea ceremony where the chawan we were using was more than a 1,000 years old. The kettle was more than 1,500 years old. As I sipped, I was unable to really process this except to know the facts but not really feeling in touch with the reality. I have no clue how much they were valued at - how could you put a value on that?!
Hi Florian, great video! Was curious as to how you were to prevent any of your pieces from warping during the high fire, especially since they are so incredibly thin. I’ve been struggling with my thinly trimmed porcelain pieces warping, your answer would be of great help if you get the time to answer it. Thank you!
That's a hard call! This bowl might take the crown perhaps, collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O437319/bowl-unknown/ It was one of the first pots I saw that I fell in love with, it feels entirely contemporary despite being a thousand years old.
Ah, this hurts to watch. I was introduced to pottery a few months before the pandemic began and haven't been able to go to the studio to throw. Soon, I hope.
This light blue hint in the glaze is truly an eye-catcher.
It's nice no? It also seems to change quite a bit depending on the light they're displayed in but I like the arctic feel.
Came to say the same. Beautiful pieces
The is help for you

Love the jingle pots make when the kiln is open, is like if they were happy to see the light again.
Good grief that's beautiful. I agree with you on loving stoneware, but there is just something about porcelain that is almost ethereal when done right. Fabulous job, Sir!
I love how you leave the real life sounds in, even during time lapses. It's one of my favourite parts of pottery videos
Simply outstanding. Although the world is in turmoil and decadence, I am thankful of living in this era where, with the click of a button, I can witness the work of masters such as you. Thank you so much for your dedication, both to the pieces you're making and to the editing and pacing of your videos.
I did not expect them to be that translucent after being fired. Beautiful cannot come close to describing them
Mind blowing to me how much I’m enjoying watching a guy play in the mud. 😝

Just how I like my porcelain. I display my ceramics under spotlights because I love to see the shadows through the walls. Celadon on grolleg.
These look really good. Really appreciate the tip of not using water but water and porcelain for it to stick. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm pleased with them although a few of them did warp in the firing. Luckily I made enough to have a successful set. They may need to be trimmed a little more thickly next time to withstand cone ten.
YESSSS PORCELAIN RECLAIM!
Thank you Florian! Great work as always!
The footage has been filmed... it won't be the most revolutionary video but it'll certainly show the process!
@@floriangadsby I'll love it no matter what!
I've started watching your videos as I am carving or glazing my pots... I'm inspired to greater excellence.... your attention to detail is masterful.
I will never understand your esthetic, but your clear instructions are magic.
Whew. An inspiring, exhaustive (not exhausting!) exploration of this same-but-different process in porcelain. The end result is even more breathtaking than imagined.
Thank you for always making each step riveting. I never tire and always look forward to every new film.
Though i go to class, i consider you my #1 teacher. Kudos.
It's amazing what the glaze does around the lines. Very nice shapes, sort of austere, yet with some intrinsic warmth, if that makes any sense!

I made it to the end. I'm not a potter, but I appreciate the skill.
Your work is always very beautiful, but I found these pieces to be particularly appealing. They're so elegant and delicate ❤
I love them. The shot with the light shining through it at the end was beautiful
Very elegant! I think the faint blue goes well with the subtlety of the exterior line.
Made it to the end, and enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your process, once again.
Those have this air of high art. The simplicity of the design, the line on the pot is also very tasteful. Amazing work!
These vases are incredible, what a wonderful job
These turned out gorgeous 😍 The time lapse really helped me appreciate the trimming process better. The change in form is more perceptible.
Wow! Amazing work Florian! I enjoy your commentary as well!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! 🙌🏼
As someone who knows nothing about poetry, this was a mesmerising video thank you
I really love your vids. The quality is insanely good for TH-cam. Really chilling and enjoyable. Thanks for the content
the work, the video, the narration, everything is fantastic! thank you!
Those are so lovely to admire. Thank you for showing us your process
They look stunning and the fact that they are slightly translucent makes them look so delicate
Watching your video and hearing your voice is SO relaxing! I LOVE IT! Liked and subscribed!
‘catching the clay’ good name for another book 🌿
Your work is too tempting to get into pottery 🤩. Love your work!!
Those are absolutely gorgeous
Thank you Alis! :)
Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail! Love the video and your work Florian!
I don't think I've ever seen such traditional methods translating into a conceptual result. Is there any train of thought that inspired this design? I'm fascinated by your stone wear shapes as well. There is something deeply satisfying about perfect shapes in proportion.
I just love your voice it’s so calming !!
I would be keenly curious to see what this porcelain would look like with some of those bronze filings that fire brilliant red incorporated into it.
I love seeing your videos! These pots are gorgeous
This is Masterclass.......🍁👍
Kind words! Thanks for watching Jack.
Stunning mate. Stunning.
This is so cool! And satisfying! Can watch this for hours💜
So I'm going to try throwing pottery for the first time next week. Mine will not look nearly as good as yours, but I'm excited to give it a go.
Elegant and simply beautiful.

Simple yet beautiful, is the hardest to achieve. Love your videos and your amazing art work.

Incredibly beautiful 🥚
You are truly a master. Wonderful to watch. Quick q though: Where do you get the wax to coat the foot of the pot? And what is it made of?
Thanks! It’s literally just the bog standard wax emulsion most pottery suppliers sell. You can also just used molten bees wax or paraffin wax. I water down the wax emulsion I buy but I don’t recommend doing that with molten bees/paraffin as it can cause some pretty nasty fires.
I get mine from Scarva Pottery Suppliers
Great video and talk through, thank you so much.
I liked the part where he took a ball of porcelain and made a vase from it
They are beautiful!
Now that's wedging! Nice video....thank you. This is very cool.....✨👍
ps...love my chawan and yunomi
Thanks so much for watching! If only I could actually wedge that fast 😬
Thank you for sharing! Awesome video!
Florian, I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you for your effort! Would you ever consider making a video of how you photograph your work?

Absolutely random question, but is it possible to over wedge clay?
Beautiful work as always by the way!

Yarrrr love ur videos.....
👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
great video! I have a question, what do you usually use these kind of pots for?
Decoration!
ohh that's cool!@@floriangadsby
i like your work man...
Such exquisite precision! Beautiful!
That is impressive. Porcelain is probably the weirdest stuff to work with. Like thowing a pile of toothpaste or chewing gum.
Amazing 😍
Very nice.
great
I love it
Beautiful 😍
Super👍
Does anyone have a link to get that spinner he has? That would help my trimming immensely.
Wow, from the thumb nail, I thought you cast those
can i paint my raw porcelain vase and perform a single firing?
Very nice. Can you estimate how thick the walls of the final pieces are?
Thank you! They're perhaps 3-4mm thick I think? It might vary a little bit from rim to wall to base.
Is it possible to reuse porcelain , like other clay?
Indeed it is!
@@floriangadsby thanks Florian
Curious, why are these called “lined” vessels?
Because they have lines on them.
Fantastic. God bless you
Nice
1:32 forbidden ice cream
woah
What are your favorite pieces of pottery you have ever seen?
That's a hard call! This bowl might take the crown perhaps, collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O437319/bowl-unknown/ It was one of the first pots I saw that I fell in love with, it feels entirely contemporary despite being a thousand years old.
Is there a particular reason you measure your clay in lbs rather than grams? I'm just not used to a British voice using imperial units!
I use both, which is something you’ll find British potters doing a lot!
when you're pulling up the lump of porcelain very tall it always looks a little bit like a unicorn horn
Hey
👋
dang mate
comfy
Could you make a video, in which you scream the commentary loudly? Even just a short for laughs, it'd be so funny!
Ah, this hurts to watch. I was introduced to pottery a few months before the pandemic began and haven't been able to go to the studio to throw. Soon, I hope.
I like your videos and your work! Great stuff, unfortunately everything in the shop is sold out :)
🔥🙏✌️💪
can pls tell me where to buy the tools that your friend made ?
