How to Make a Handmade Pottery Teapot - Narrated Version

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- This weeks video shows how I make my teapots. It's a long one but shows quite thoroughly every step along the way. Teapots are such complicated objects to make so I really hope this video can break it down whilst also demonstrating in-depth my approach to the form.
Thanks for watching and if you're got any further questions please leave it down in the comments and I'll do my best to reply.

seriously I have not skipped any part of this and enjoyed every moment of it! Also is no one going to talk about how calming his voice is... literally the bob ross of pottery.
Thank you Felicia! That's so kind of you to say and what a compliment, I love Bob Ross!
Oh you are not wrong! Best ceramics videos i have ever found. Thank you... so calming... so generous. thank you.
As a rookie potter I've watched many of Florian's videos over and over appreciating the informative and precise instruction, each one a masterclass. In addition I love Florian's calm and beautiful voice and his ceramics are lovely, beautifully simple / simply beautiful
I have no idea why but this video gave me so much serotonin. I had been sobbing for an hour beforehand and this cheered me up immensely.
Why were you sobbing for an hour??
@@patriciatomilonus7384 ah, just overwhelmed with a lot of things.
@@sleepyhead5686 I'm sorry about that...I hope you're doing better these days...

Taken aback by the sheer amount of effort and craftsmanship that goes into making such a master piece. I certainly have much more appreciation for hand made utensils now. Thanks for sharing your craft.
Just when I was feeling exhausted after completing all my pots for Christmas - this wonderfully inspirational video comes along and I can't wait to get back in the workshop. Thanks so much Florian !
Thank you Sue! I’m exhausted too, can’t wait for some downtime over the holidays. Thanks as always for watching!
Oh wow, this is some of the most satisfying content on TH-cam. Your passion and dedication to the craft is admirable! Would love to see you pouring a cup of your favorite tea out of one of these finished pots. Cheers mate.
Cheers Elliot! Thanks for watching, and you're right, that was an obvious ending to film for this little film, next time.
Mid-70s Parkrose OR, I had a ceramics teacher in high school, Mr. Anderson. Actually, it was ceramics, watercolors, oil paint, and lurking off and on over the day helping load and unload kilns. I learned more from him than any other teacher throughout high school. He became my standard for the definition of a true artist. From what I learned from him I could and did throw some beautiful pots, but I could not for the life of me throw another to match it. Mr. Anderson would throw sets of vases, plates, and large mixing bowls that when finished would stack like they were made in a mold. Beautiful sets that I am sure are still being used, loved, and cared for today. He either had a business on the side or every relative he had got new sets of plates and cookware every year. My mark of a true artist today is someone that can create something beautiful, which I could, and then duplicate it over and over... which I never could. He taught me this same lesson in watercolors too, I could get lucky at times and paint something beautiful but I couldn't ever see something clearly in my mind and make it appear on the paper as he did. He was like Hank Aaron calling his shot, teaching, telling the class what he was going to paint, and then creating exactly what he had described, over and over again... lots of relatives ( - sales). Oils just made me cry and hope the other classes I took, the side work I did for him, and mostly my dad's donation of about 400 lbs. of pigments would carry me through. Mr. Gadsby's set the bar even high than Mr. Anderson... thanks, so much. Beautiful work. Find a job you enjoy doing and you will never have to work a day in your life. I don't think Twain could throw a great pot over and over either. Everyone stay safe.
These pots are so beautiful. It such a delicate and stunning design. On a side note, you have the most soothing voice when you’re doing narration.😘
Even if you are not watching it just listening to you will create images in our mind
Your narration is as brilliant as your pots
So glad I came across artist like you
Like if you feel the same
It makes me so happy each time I get a notification about a new video from your channel!
and it makes me so happy to read that! Thanks for watching Inger! 🙌🏼
Yeah I agree, these videos are like 20min meditations
Absolutely brilliant! Genius contemporary design that is sure to look great over time! Thank you for the deep dive into your craft!
They look so good with the glaze on them! The way that the sharp edges look with the variation in color is so pretty, and the overall form is balanced in a way that is so pleasing to look at.
Cheers Andrew! There's some better pictures of them over on my Instagram. I sold all of the nicest ones so the two shown at the end aren't the best of the best.
A teapot demands such a challenging balance, those are gorgeous as always!
They really are such difficult objects to make, I still always feel a bit apprehensive before setting out to make a batch but it does feel good once finally finishing all of them. Thanks for watching!
@@floriangadsby I relate. I feel a bit mentally drained after a batch of teapots, but there is no better object to get out of the oven, let alone use. your new design really is beautiful. it has a bit of the vibe of the immortal teapots of Ulla Procopé for Arabia Finlandia.
Instant sub! I could literally watch artisans work for hours on end. Keep up the good work
Cheers! That really means a lot, thanks for subscribing!
It would be a pleasure to make a tea in such beautiful teapot. The more i watch such clips, the more appreciation i have for this beautiful craft. And realising that people thousands of years before me were creating such vessels for a tea i'm just having is amazing.I love my tea even more now, because with every sip i appreciate the mastery of people who made it possible for me to watch such videos and have a nice cup in my hand :D
Thank you for sharing your practice and knowledge
Beautiful work and beautiful videos! I learn so much every time I watch you work. I really appreciate all the time and energy you put into making your videos. Thank you for sharing!!!
Sarah, thank you again! The support really means such a lot, appreciate you watching as always 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for sharing your making process! It is really inspiring, and helps me on my own journey with clay. Through watching your videos, I realize how incredibly important all the small details are, and how those details can make or break a pot.
I love this channel. I did two hours of pottery every day in highschool and really enjoyed it.
This is making me miss it a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing your many years of experience. I really appreciate it. I always learn new practical ways of using the clay after watching your videos. I am excited to try to make a thrown tea pot.
Such care and attention to detail taken with these teapots with beautiful results.
Too kind Janice, thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for posting these videos Florian. I always come away with new information that I can apply to my own pottery journey. Love from Canada!
So pleased you like them and thanks for taking your time to watch! All the best from the UK.
Watching this is like meditation. So calming. 😊👍 Great video!
Cheers! Glad you liked it. 🙌🏼
You're great and talented artist.
I love poets for daily use . The poets are more healthy than metals at home you encouraged me to have more poets at home .
Thank you Florian - beautifully described as we watch you work. You make it look easy but it will be a long time before my pots get less wonky.
Thank you so much for these videos. I made a tea caddy for my son for Xmas, using your superb lid design. Took 3 goes but I got there in the end!
I love your work, explanations, attitude, attentiveness. Thanks.
motivational video. i'm not delicate enough. and it shows in my work
5:10 I loved the angle and lighting here! It was so pretty. Thank you for these videos they're so lovely to watch.
This is pleasant to watch I haven't turned clay in a very long time. It brings back good memories
best pottery video I have seen so far. Thank you so much !
..thanks for another excellent video. While you were speaking about the water flow and smooth surfaces one thing came back to my mind .. The smooth surface is not the best surfaces for water flow. A tube with spiral shape will help the water flow faster even small bumps are better than smooth surface, as like small dents makes golf ball faster... maybe not noticeable in a tea pot though :)
That's interesting to know! I'll have to test that next time I make some teapots.
I just started my first teapot and found it so hard. Thank you for your sharing!
Love everything about this video. Fantastic demo. Thank you!
Beautiful.. I watched the whole thing without skipping. In all your videos, listening to your narration is so very calming. I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the good work. Eager to see more unique designs from you.
I don’t do pottery at all but your videos are so calming it doesnt even matter :) they also sort of look like those exterminator things from dr who without the spout (in the best way possible) maybe one day ill have a whole collection of handmade pottery
WOW !!!!! what a great video,,, to just watch you work, on your own personal design was a real treat. im 70 now and i was a painter, i dont paint that much anymore,,, my mother feel and broke her hip, and i went to her to help and get her back up and going,,, in that process i took what turned out to be 2 semesters of ceramics at the local college.... WOW,,, IT WAS WONDERFUL,,, i realized, much too late that i had i to do it over again i would have used ceramics as my art form.... thank you again for your kind sharing,,,your design is beautiful and im sure very functional, something that painting can not really achieve. all the very best to you,,,rodney
Stunning. I love watching these.
Never stop make tutorials! Your to good at it! 😃
बड़े कमाल की बात हैं ना
आंखें तालाब नही है लेकिन फिर भी भर आती हैं,
और इंसान मौसम नही है फिर भी बदल जाता हैं..!!

Fantastic Florian! These videos are getting better and better. The narration has been so helpful!
So pleased to hear that Samuel, thanks as always for watching!
Amazing! And so generous in explaining everything. Thank you, and good luck with your work.
I have a handmade teapot and I appreciate it a lot more after watching this channel
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
So minimalist, love it!
These are absolutely gorgeous ☺️ it was so lovely getting to see your whole process, thank you so much for sharing it ☺️
Thank you Lauren-Dawn, that's very kind of you to say, appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Hello from northern Japan. I quite enjoyed watching your technique, and your humble aspect of delivery. And of course, your teapot design is very nice, as well. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for this informative and concise video, detailing the process as to be transferable to other designs. Joyous work!
Excellent, generous instruction. Thank you. And from one whose kiln has gone down just before Christmas, a second thanks for cheering me up and getting me thinking about my own teapot design, rather than error e22!
Ahh, that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Kilns can be such a pain. Thanks for watching Tom, I hope you have a merry Christmas!
Really enjoying the narrated series, Florian. Great work!
Wonderful demonstration. Thank you so much for providing such a clear and intelligent explanation of your process, and for your attention to detail. It really was a joy to watch you at work. Wishing you the very best for Christmas and the New Year.
Thank you very much Peter! Wishing you all the best too and thanks as always for watching.
Thank you for posting! Carefully watching as I make my own first teapot!
Beautiful. Great to see a real craftsman create something useful and beautiful by hand. Greetings from Medicine Hat, home of Medalta Potteries!
love your attention to details Florian :) Teapots are my fav thing to make.
I always put a knob or similar on my lids as without, the lid can become too hot to handle.
Sitting here on a snowy night in USA thinking I want one! Sold out! Lovely work.
I'll be updating my shop with some soon! Usually I would have done so sooner but I'm currently making work for an upcoming exhibition, which has delayed things a bit. And thank you too of course.
Wonderful. I enjoyed gleaning ideas and techniques from your process. Thank you for a wonderfully crafted video.
Okay so you have bewitched me.😍🥰
I only clicked on this video to get a quick look off what this was about so I could save it and watch it later. But I haven't been able to even pause the video once.☺️ Your voice is so addictive 😌🎵🎶.
I even subscribed without hesitation or a second thought.😅
I love how much attention to detail you invest in your craft. It really shows how much you are in love with your work.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I love your work so much. As a student who loves ceramics, I can really learn so much from your work. Thanks.
Thank you very much - hearing that makes all the time spent making these so worthwhile.
Such a lovely video, and tea pots!
Very inspiring and informative as usual. Thank you Florian!
Thank you for taking the time to watch, it really means a lot.
I appreciate your thorough and detailed explanations and recommendations. Thank you for making your expertise accessible 🧡
- A Novice Potter
Thank you. Your detailed demonstrations, description and explanation of each process was very inspiring. I want to brave it and make a teapot now, well perhaps after Christmas. Happy Christmas and have a well earned rest.
Thank you Jan! Best of the luck with them, they're good fun after the initial trepidation!
Your work is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing !
Well I guess you got me into pottery - I'd like to join your course if you make one!
I was going to have ceramics class this year, but alas, COVID-19 changed my plans. I hope to be able to attend a class to learn more about pottery so that I can make such beautiful things too. I love your creations; they’re very lovely.
Beautiful work and design
Many thanks Peter!
Another awesome video.
That was so gorgeous to watch and listen to. They are beautiful.
Thank you very much!
This is meditation.. Excellent👍
Incredible work

Best of luck with them!

Thanks very much!
Best wishes and love from a fellow Gadsby ❤ this is beautiful
Amazing work buddy.
very inspiring. thank you
gorgeous! i appreciate the tips about maintaining shape while trimming. maybe i'll try to make this...
Good luck doing so! Thanks for taking the time to watch 🙌🏼
Stunning 👌🏽❤️🔥
brilliant !!!
you're so good it makes me want to quit throwing altogether
People think that I'm amazing but I don't have the consistency down
Its very very frustrating
same here! though im fairly new so i cant be too hard on myself!
I love the style of your teapots. Hope to get one when available...
So beautiful art and things.
Excellent advice.
Beautiful! It is such a pleasure to look over your shoulder as you work. 🤗
Thanks very much Hubert! Glad to see you watching here still, I hope you're well!
@@floriangadsby I watch every one of your videos on this channel. :-)
Amazing ART Work.
Really great ART work
like clay master...Good
Thanks for posting narrated & ASMR versions. Watching with sound off is not as enjoyable. I am familiar with Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response - certain songs, passages of music, or those goofy wire scalp massagers trigger it for me, but rarely other sounds. ASMR tagged videos are an easy shortcut to locating content without voice (usually) that still have ambient sound. Ever reach a saturation point of listening to people talk? LOL
Stress reduction without psychoactive substances or meds is difficult at times. Traditional focused meditation is also not an easy skill. Ambient sound plus interesting visual focus works. Grateful for the option to rewatch the narrated video later. I understand some do get the full-on ASMR experience from ambient sound and to them I say, *way to go* - those tingles are FUN! I'll keep coming back for my dose of calming, soothing, relaxing, peaceful, and chemical-free anxiety alleviation knowing your pleasant narration is optional. This is my long-winded way of calling you a healer. :)
I ordered Bison turning tool like yours a few weeks ago and I am very eager to finally level up my trimming addiction!
Oh nice! They're wonderful things, can't be beat.
Beautiful
Awesome tutorial....as always! 😉☺️
Cheers!
Amazing.
Brilliant 😊
