I discovered your channel after my first pottery class. Next week I’ll be signing up for an 8 week class and I plan on documenting my journey.
You’re an inspiration.
Now I understand better why handmade stuff are so expensive.
I was just thinking the same thing. Yesterday I saw some expensive ceramics and ask myself: how hard can it be? Searched and found this. The answer: very.
@@comradedogo2441 how much is that in dollars?

Not only is it much harder to do than most people comprehend, but there’s the hours and hours of work that goes to make it even feasible to produce numbers of pieces as similar as possible. There’s the experience that makes the lips of cups comfortable to drink from, or spouts that are capable of pouring. There’s working with the glazes, which trust me, isn’t intuitive. Most glazes don’t look anything like their fired counterparts, look different depending on temperature, and can be radically different depending on a reducing or oxidising kiln burn. Then there’s paying for the power for the kiln. Be it gas, electric or even wood fired, the fuel has to be paid for. Glazes can be bought or compounded by the potter, but either way, it has to be paid for. Clay body has to come from somewhere. Even if the potter digs and purifies their own clay, it costs money to dig raw material, store it, purify it. Or you can buy it prepared, and accordingly more expensive. And finally ofc there’s actually making the pieces. A production potter brings that time down to a minimum, but it’s still an important expense, plus there’s the electrical power used to produce pieces, for light, heat and the wheel. Tbh very few handcrafters are paid what their work deserves, but settle for, hopefully, something that is livable.
Yes and him much skill, knowledge, studying, and equipment (which is expensive) it requires.
I can't believe I am watching this for free

Its not free, you pay for the Internet.

Everyone got the point, it's an amazing content, that he could sell for a few bucks, but it's here... free of charge for us. We should hit like to show some appreciation
@@rbclima sim senhor, pelo menos o prof entendeu :)
It is as if i'm listening to an audiobook novel. Very comforting.
sameee
Imagine someone sharing A-Z of their business in such a detail.
In conclusion: Pottery cannot be done by everybody. It is the talent and years and years of practice. And he knows he’s the best at it
Yup, this goes for a lot of creative, personalized works. It’s unique to its creator. Even ppl in the same field would end up w/ a different result since they’re working w/ their hands, their minds. Through that you can see traces of their experiences and viewpoints. It shows through their works. It’s really interesting how our personal creative process can make products that are uniquely us.
Hmmmmmm
And a kiln lol
Æ
Knowledge is not enough. This takes real practice.
There's a local Japanese store that sells handmade teaware... Yeah, I'm definitely buying a full set after seeing how much goes into making this beautiful ART
Cn u please tl me about that Japanese store

The filming and narration is done so beautifully and elegantly i didn’t notice 25minutes passes by 🧡
What I thought this was only like 10 minutes
It was so satisfing i just realised from your comment
novels07.blogspot.com/2023/10/pottery-pottery-is-art-and-craft-of.html
I had to look at how long the video was after you mentioned it.
I swear watching this is so relaxing
I was so excited for him to open the kiln and find all the beauty inside. Thank you for this video. Enjoyed every minute of it ❤
Thanks so much for watching! 🙌🏻
I felt exactly the same. thanks for being there.

Really relaxing, I feel like artisan cups add to the experience of whatever you're drinking
That's certainly true I think. All my favourite cups to drink from were made by my friends and potters I aspire to. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Very soothing and yet complex!
I am not an artist and not even remotely a potter, and still I watched the whole 25 minutes of your video without skipping. Such a careful, meticulous process, narrated scientifically. Such great work! So amazed to learn how the humble cup is made.
You’re too kind. Thanks for watching!
It was 25 😳 i never noticed untill saw ur cmnt
From now on, I’ll see my cups, plates differently, with much respect to the artists who made them
I doubt many are handmade though
most of them are mass machine made....hand made are expensive
This video makes me want to buy from smaller businesses. You can almost feel how everything is made with love and a lot consideration. Every piece has his own unique touch to it and i love that. 🥰✨
Only few people think this way. I’m glad

This is one of the most captivating videos I have ever experienced. I didn't give a shit about pottery going into this, but I watched the entire video because of how great the narration was.
The skill of pottery, business and video making at display. You sir, are an artist.
This is one of the reasons why I'm addicted to TH-cam!!! 👍
SO RELAXING 😌
this is easily the most smoothest thing my ears have listened to in a long time! my gooooosh. just beautiful everything! everything is just beautiful!
Tom Scott brought me here and I'm REALLY pleased to se such master craftmaship explained in this way. Beautiful products and beautifl video!
A world of difference between handmade and factory-made. Hand-made has so much love in it. Factory-made is loveless.
The first is art.
The second plain mechanics.
This video is done in expert fashion.
Must be shown in pottery/ceramics class.
Thank you, Florian! This is a breath of fresh air here on TH-cam. You've explained every step and the reason for it in more than adequate detail. I have a new appreciation for the pottery cups that I use daily. I will happily pay the price for a well-formed and processed cup. You're a Master Potter!
Thank you so much Frederick, you're really too kind. 🙌🏼
This has the same energy as “you’re a wizard, potter!” Heheheh it does look like magic tho!
Thank you so much for taking the time to film such a lovely and thorough video. Each step in your process is so deliberate and your work is flawless.
You're too kind, thank you so much and I really appreciate you taking your time to watch it all!
I started doing pottery and someone in my class suggested Florian's videos, and said it's super helpful to learn as a beginner. It really is, thank you very much.
You tube is the best! For showing free education. Way to go TH-cam, I love you!
How does TH-cam know I love hand made mugs and cups and bowls , hand made pottery is so beautiful is like they have individual character.
Clever people make the best creatives.
ceramics are an absolutely most beautiful creation of humanity.
OMG, bless you! For making pots and cups ORIGINALLY. I Wish we will not let a 30.000 BC year old craftmanship go away. Love these video´s! Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Lots of love from The Netherlands!💛
Artist, technician, businessman, educator…brilliant dude. Thnx for all this!
As a person who is fascinated with ceramics and somebody who wants to start doing something with stoneware in near future I would have never imagined that I would find a video with so much practical knowledge packet in it. Thank You.
Going to be really studying your videos this semester. Ceramics has always been daunting to me, and now I have to take the class to meet the class requirements for my major. So far it has been astoundingly helpful in assisting me with understanding the overall process. I feel that with your videos as reference, I may just survive this. Thank you on behalf of all of us struggling students.
So pleased to hear that Gala, I hope my videos have some useful information in them somewhere! Best of luck with your potting and major and thanks for taking the time to watch.
You speak like art feels.
Your tallent and perfection is unbelievable these 24 minutes are the worthful minutes I've ever spent on TH-cam
I love to watch these before i sleep. :3 your voice is so soothing.
His words are so poetic. Such lovely work
Right ! I know 🤣😍
i could watch him make bowls, cups and plates for hours omg it is so calming
*yo we appreciate you and everyone who does this... this isn't easy to do so thank you*
Watching the amount of skill going into these coffee cups makes me appreciate my local potters' works even more. Usually as artists, we get questioned why our works are so expensive. However, I think it's important customers and clients understand why the cost is as it is- the amount of skill, the time spent refining those skills and producing these creations, etc going into a product/piece.
I've just recently started my pottery journey and trying so hard to learn. I watched your step by step video the whole time I was practicing last night. Pottery is NOT easy but your videos have helped me to keep going with it. I'm still so awful at throwing and have caught myself getting so frustrated at myself. Thank you for sharing your amazing tutorials, they truly have helped me so very much. I love your work!!
This is such a lovely video in so many ways. The time taken to show every step, your very soothing narrative, and your description of every step makes it as though I’m reading one of my favorite books.
Thank you for sharing. I’m only learning this process myself and this was the most thorough and helpful description I have received yet.
I’ve just watched this again after losing my pottery mojo 😢 I’m feeling inspired to keep trying so thank you 🙏
Wow, who knew making a pottery cup required so much skill and patience! Impressed by the dedication of the artist here. Definitely makes me appreciate handmade crafts even more now. 😊👌
Im a fan of the glazes‘ color. Also I learn so much in every video. Thank you! I personally have issues with throwing so I am grateful for your tips.
I have a school art project that involver pottery and watching your videos gives me so much inspiration these are easily the highest quality videos for pottery i have seen thank you so much because you just sparked a passion that may last a life time and i cant wait to start
This guys voice is so soothing. Great video! I'm gonna follow!
It's magical how a person can make this out of dirt
I really appreciate how thorough you are in describing the whole process from humble lump of clay to fired glazed mug.
This has been one of the most relaxing videos I've seen in a long time. Your voice is soothing! And the repetition is not boring but rather comforting. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤️
We've watched whole video with our 6 and 4 yo daughters on Sunday. Awesome. Thank you.
I love the sound when the kiln is opening. Like a magical twinkling.
i’m in my last semester of senior year and i’m only now taking ceramics and really falling in love with clay! i love these videos, thank you for showing us your incredible process :)
Must be nice that your school has ceramics
Such a beautiful and also painstaking process, really makes you appreciate pottery. Just beautiful. I would love to have a cup of tea out of one of those gorgeous cups.
I LOVE your wedging technique for smaller balls of clay. It’s been a lifesaver when I do match strikers, spoon rests, and lids
I loved watching the process. I’m holidaying in Muskoka Ontario in Canada, I visited many potters and bought these dark chocolate mugs and bowls. I gravitate toward hand made. They feel cared for and they mean something… like a connection. I spoke with the potter he was lovely and now I’ll think of John when I’m enjoying my coffee.
What an interesting trade. Gotta be honest, I envy those whose living exhibits creativity and passion. But then again, I can only imagine the sacrifices and discipline put into such work.
Another first rate experience. Thank you for your generous collaborative spirit!
i spent the last month volunteering at a studio ran by an older (& miserable) woman in hopes to learn more about this medium & how to use a kiln.
i left one week ago after weeks of being yelled at for calling student's pieces "beautiful", or not knowing how to do something i was never taught.
also, she never used this wax but it does miracles. wow.
i am now learning & unlearning everything from your videos.
thank you for sharing, i am at peace after watching this.
I have never wanted a cup more in my life than when the final product was presented, gorgeous cups, the simplicity is so appealing.
Beautiful craftsmanship & soothing to watch. Your art is amazing. It shows how much you love what you do.
Absolutely FLAWLESS pieces of functional art. 👌
First time viewer here... I clicked on this video fully expecting to skip through and just get the gist, but oh my god. I was absolutely transfixed by everything about this.
I don't know why TH-cam recommend this to me but it was very satisfying to watch. Very soothing voice too.
This again is so informative and generous. You are a fantastic teacher.
Thank you insomnia, for giving me time to watch this video at 3:00 am
Happy to see his store is almost completely sold out :)
I'm beginning to dabble in pottery and Florian's work and videos have proved to be immensely helpful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Florian!
I love the whole process! This is actual work of art!
This is satisfying and amazing to watch. I’ve been wanting to learn how to make clay mugs/potteries for so long and this video would b rly helpful. Love tht you showed it all down to the small details unlike many tutorials.
Thank you - hearing that really means a lot. I’m so pleased you liked the video. 🙌🏻
You can clearly hear the the passion for the craft on the potter's voice. Thank you for sharing your craft. I was trying to show my 4 year old how cups are made before putting him to sleep and ended up watching all 24 and a half minutes of you. Thank you for this. You gained two fans. My son was blown away :)
It's incredibly satisfying to learn about the dedication that goes into making each cup. Thank you!!!
Your videos are like poems. Thank you.
Exactly what I Subscribed for, absolutely love these videos, informative and relaxing. Keep up the amazing pottery work, or whatever else you may be working on, much love.
I can truly not thank you enough for the time and effort you put into your videos. I am a beginner potter and they are so educational.
I watched this a few years ago.... Found it again.
Amazed all over again.
Such great detail and step by step instructions.
This is a valuable gift he has given us💙
Your voice is so calming and honestly,it reminds me of audiobooks
Your art and your work are both so relaxing
Wow, it was a life experience to watch this. Thank you for taking time to film and narrate your process, very meticulous job!
Absolutely Stunning. The effort involved is huge. Now I have seen the passion with which these potteries are hand made. Hats off to you !!
Fascinating and very much appreciatively informative. Loved watching this.
I’d love to learn, love keeping my hands moving and seems therapeutic and relaxing
I can't emphasise how surprised I am at the quality of your video! It's very rare to find decent quality videos on TH-cam!! You are amazing!
Unreal. Drinking tea out of a similar mug and had no idea it took so long. Fascinating.
This is one of the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam ❤️🌸
Awesome video, truly makes feel like getting back into ceramics
Extraordinarily stunning pieces!!! I appreciate ceramics infinitely more after watching this video. Thank you for outlining the whole process 🙏
Your pottery is a amazing, narration and filmmaking beautifully crafted as well, I already had an appreciation for handmade pottery, but now a deeper awareness and respect, thank you!
Absolutely beautiful work! Love the colors of the cups!
Love to see your work and listen! Thanks!
Such passion and poetry amongst the technical detail and heritage references. Very well done video and I learned so much. I will start to get into pottery thank you
Artisinal artistry at its finiest. You have so much skill and knowledge and it was an absolute wonder to watch.
Your video's are so well done and to the point!
I've had a few cracked handles as i'm learning, so excited to try your methods out!
Thank you for your tutorials!
Thank you William, so so pleased to hear that. Good luck with the handles!
Not to be rude, but I think I'm in love with your bottoms ;)
Seriously though, the attention and care put into them relly makes a difference for me, they're so modern, slick and warm at the same time... Love it !
Such beautiful work! I love how rustic that glaze looks. So simple and earthy. It's perfect!
I just love how informative and detailed you are. You don't miss a beat!!!!
Love these long videos! Your efficiency is incredible.
Cheers Samuel - I think I need a break though, these long narrations take me hours!
Excellent everything :). Pottery, filming, narrating it’s all perfect 👌
Thanks so much!
I want to make mugs for Christmas for my kids and grandkids. Boy its going to be a big job. I would love to have my own potter's wheel, kiln and everything else. I will have to do it at a studio school. He has given me some good ideas.
I haven't been this completely enthralled and captivated in so long.
I never -in my life- thought I'd be interested in pottery one day! Because of your great art, I joined a hand-building complementary course in the college I go to (unfortunately it's not as "hands-on" as I'd hoped for due to covid restrictions, however, I still played around with some clay at home and it was so much fun!) I see myself trying it out further -hopefully in better circumstances- in the future! Truly inspirational :D
That's so wonderful to hear, I imagine learning ceramics in person at the moment must be a real pain due to the restrictions, like you said, it's so hands on. Best of luck potting at home and I'm so glad to hear you've been enjoying it!
would love to see your chuck-making process!
I love watching and listening to your videos. They are beautiful to watch and I love your style of narration. I think people learn best when they know the reason they are doing something and you explain your reasons and methods so well. I have just started throwing and I happened upon one of your videos and have now watched several, some a couple of times over. Thank you so much for creating this content.
Wow thank you I am a self taught potter have'nt done any for over 20 years now due to (life) getting in the way but I really enjoyed your videos thank you for getting me reinspired.
I will have to get potting again.
