It's pretty stunning how many concepts carry over between machining and pottery: lapping, using a turning wheel to create concentricity, and how similar trimming is to turning on a lathe. The tolerances are different obviously, and one is significantly more manual than the other, but truthfully crafting is crafting, regardless of media. Thank you for the video and for taking us inside your studio, it's a joy to watch.

Never had I any idea there is so much work involved in making something like this. It is clear to me now the true value of a piece of fine pottery. My hat is off to you, sir.

I will never complain about the price of good quality pottery again. This video has definitely put me in my place. Potters deserve much recognition and respect. Their craft is very difficult to master.

I’m probably one of the small few of your audience who doesn’t do pottery, however your voice is so calming and it helps me to study. Your videos are always very interesting for someone who haven’t used a pottery wheel one in their life.

I'm pretty sure a lot of us aren't potters. I do other crafts, but I love to watch a fine artisan at work, no matter their craft. Florian's videos are beautiful in their own right as well.

I really appreciate how much you reiterate each important step of your process. If you ever worry you’re too repetitive, just know I prefer it that way! Thank you for these beautiful and informative videos.

I've been dreaming of making a teapot for a while now, it's incredible to see the whole process and all the detailed work involved. Thanks for making this - I'm guessing filming and editing a 40 minute video takes almost as much effort as making the teapot!

😆😆😆great point.

You have the absolute best 'tutorial' videos on how to do something. You're clean and concise and easy to listen to. I think this is the type of style that is the best for explaining about a process. Not only are you artistic, professional and clean, but you're easy to follow. Bravo to you for sharing your process and eliminating all of the background nonsense. You're really good!

Watched the entire video! Enjoy every single one!

Florian, I've made it this far. These 40min flew by in a blink of an eye. I am amazed of your work itself and your effort to show the whole process. Very well edited and narrated. Thank you a lot!

These videos are incredibly detailed and well-produced. I've just started to learn how to throw and my mind is blown by how involved the process is, and how long you spend on each piece. But the finished work is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process!

As a relatively inexperienced baby potter, this is quite inspirational

There are no words to describe your work, the amount of atttenttion to details, the perfect process you mastered, you are so good that you make everything seem easy ( and we all know thats not the case at all xD), greetings from Brazil, keep up the wonderful work

@@floriangadsby I copied your design for making teapots I am not going to sell it out of respect I'm going to keep it but I made a few of them and I'm going to keep all of them or give them to my family perhaps. The design lends itself very well for production work. Every time I walk by it and look I have to stop and look at it for a while. I'm having trouble finding a high iron content clay that doesn't turn almost black when firing if you have any suggestions I am open LOL. I have 10 or 12 bags of red art clay I just don't have any good recipe for cone 6 or above

That's decided me. No teapot making for me. Your videos are brilliant. No music just a brilliantly articulate, detailed description of what is involved. Thanks so much for taking so much care.

This is by far the most comprehensive, valuable, and enjoyable pot-making video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Seeing the process of your ceramics increases their desirability sevenfold. Seeing you gradually hollow out just the right concave for the glaze to pool has solidified for me why I'll be purchasing one.

One of the most awesome videos I ever saw on KZread. Watched it every second and the skill and patience you display is amazing. Mind blown!!!

Finding videos like this randomly browsing on youtube is always a blessing. Amazing work.

What a calming way to spend 40 minutes. Thank you for sharing!

Amazing craftsmanship. This showed up on my feed randomly and watched all off it. It's always awesome to see how much time, energy and passion people put into their work.

As a tea enthusiast I am glad to see all the details that must be taken care of when making a teapot. A good teapot must feel natural, an extension of one’s hand and allow for clean pouring and easy maintenance. It’s that combination of little fits, chamfers, angles and bores that make or break a pot.

Clear and concise explanation of each process makes your videos so compelling to watch. It is such a pleasure watching a craftsmen at work.

Nice to see that this old technique is still living out there.

This was randomly recommended to me and I really definitely didn't think I'd watch 40 minutes about how teapots are made. But I did and loved every minute of it. It is a beautiful, relaxing, fascinating and informative video. Very well done and thank you for gifting us with this quality content ! 🙏🍀

Your work is stunningly gorgeous and your heart is not afraid of giving your experience to strangers. That's something money can never buy and you have my utmost gratitude and respect.

I'm lying on my sofa, sick, and totally enjoying it to fully immerse myself in your videos. there's a delicacy to your videos, as well as your pots. superb!

When did 40 minutes even pass, it felt like 20. I appreciate your attention to detail.

I adore you content, watching masters at work is one of the biggest priviledges that the internet gives me. Thank you so much.

I have ADHD, so I get bored easily when I'm uninterested, but there's something about videos like these, with your voice and explanations and all, that helps me hyper fixate and relax

I did not expect to simply be drawn for the very start to the very end. this is so calming and nice to watch. thanks!

The meticulous attention to detail and flow of process is truly inspiring Florian. Incredible content to continue to learn from. My fiancé and I started taking classes in January 2020, and your videos are an education in themselves. Thank you for making such great content and pots!

it’s beautiful to watch how meticulous you are with your work! incredible being able to examine your handiwork from beginning to end. i usually enjoy videos like these without any voiceovers but this time is an exception. this time hearing the artist’s voice explain what they are doing in a way that was calming, informative, and easily understood really enhanced the entire experience. i find myself desperately wanting a tea pot of my own!

Someone who isn’t just a craftsman but passionate about his craft is a joy to watch and lean from. Thanks for posting this 👍👍👍

Pretty little Tea Pot, and a beautifully done tutorial. Thank you Mr. Gadsby.

I’m in love with your pots! Watched all the way to the end and can’t believe how much work and effort goes into it.

This takes me back to my ceramics classes. And your voice is so soothing and instruction really spot on, covering why things might happen and why it's done a certain way. :) A master craftsman

wow...fabulous work and thanks for not adding tiresome music...bravo

The first video I see from your channel. Delighted with these 40 minutes learning something I didn't really know, well explained, done, recorded, and narrated. Thanks for your effort and your crafts!

This video was so beautiful. I used to take pottery classes when I was younger in a local studio shed with incredible artists working just in the next room over. I recognized so many of these steps and techniques but your mastery and craftsmanship made it so mesmerizing to watch, just like when I was a kid peeking into the artists’ open studio hours. It’s making me want to take classes again! Thank you for such a wonderful documentation of your process.

I can't believe I watched the whole thing but I just got sucked in. Great video!

This video, and the teapots featured, are masterpieces. Incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. Thanks so much for sharing!!

watched it the whole way thru and didnt even realize 40 mins went by, this inspires me so much as someone who wants to work in ceramics more :D thank you for the lovely content and beautiful work

Wow. Thank you for making this video. I’ve enjoyed it immensely. I’ve started throwing and I’m already utterly addicted. Beautiful beautiful teapots. Absolutely stunning.

i started this video thinking i was just going to skip around a bit, but i ended up watching the whole thing your narration is very seamless, and this whole video was very informative and interesting to watch!

Florian always goes the extra mile. Impressive craftsmanship

I have my first wheel-throwing class in 2 days. I can't wait to feel the clay with my hands and apply what I learned from you in my class. Thank you for creating these videos; it's beautiful to watch.

Functional artwork is my favorite. These are beautiful.

Florian - your care, patience and demands for pristine work once again is evident in this video! Thank you for producing this educational video.

Loved it all the way through! I used to know a potter who I marvelled at how even he could keep the top and bottom of a glaze firing! Then I saw him reach and bend the last cone on the bottom with an iron rod! Sneaky, cheeky potter! We didn’t have the beauty of a kiln you have! What a beautiful video! Thanks!

Lots of detailed work and focus going into just one teapot! 👍🏻 A super enjoyable process. Yet any mishaps along the way must be so frustrating.

Honestly, first I thought it's a rough work, but now I see - it's work on fingertips. Cool.

Though I have never made a single pot, something about these videos is just so... beautiful, not just the pieces themselves, but everything else as well

Wow this proces is amazing. The attention to all the details is crazy. Such a beautiful finished product. I am a bit in love with this little teapot 😊

Everything is done so beautifully 😩😩…The art, the vibe, background, the voice everything 👏🏻

I assumed it was an ASMR video but was surprised it had commentary and explanation. The showcase of year long skill and knowledge kept me watching the whole video. Thank you for this video! Greetings from Germany

Really enjoyed your excellent video. Your presentation is so clear and informative. I am coming back to potting after a break and today’s experience watching you work is going to inspire me! Thanks very much indeed.

Your teapots are gorgeous! The fact that you spent so many hours on each of them is incredible. It's a very long drawn out process, which you explained really clearly. You make really beautiful pottery. I only discovered your channel today because I was looking for videos concerning air dry clay projects, so the algorithm decided your video was the same, which it's not, but having said that, I am very glad your channel was suggested to me. I have subscribed today and intend to learn more of what you do. I love clay of all kinds and the different ways they can be used. Your videos look really interesting.

The last 6 minutes of the video was an ugly realization of how much money I need to spend to have such a fine product! That Gas kiln is probably more expensive than a vehicle! I don't do pottery, but love watching your videos before I go to bed. A true craftsmanship with smooth delivery!

You don't have to start with a gas kiln! You can start making pottery with much cheaper, electric kilns, and use small amounts of commercial glazes that are brushed on, so you don't have to mix up big batches like I do. Thanks so much for watching!

I've just stumbled on this channel and it's a hidden gem. As a soapmaker myself, I can begin to understand practicing a craft that isn't well known and I'm beyond happy to see how well you've done and how you're managing to introduce so many to this ageless craft. Hopefully I can catch the next sale and get one of these beautiful teapots!

This is the inspiration I needed to take the leap into learning ceramics. I really appreciate the time you've put into making these videos which is a huge help for many of us entering this intricate and rewarding craft. Thank you.

by far the only detailed and elaborate video of working and making ceramic pottery ive seen.. this was so much help.. thanks

It is odd... this video was realesed on my 59 year of life...and I am a tea lover... so thank you... was very nice to see!!!

This is the first video I saw from your channel. I intended to watch more of it. You have a great skill to make a beautiful masterpiece, no doubt. I also like how you are organized. Your wording and delivering the video is also captivating. In a way, the video is relaxing and helping me to enjoy my break in between my tedious job. Thank you for making a great video..

Such a beautiful process, that not only creates a lovely piece, but also gives a story and an identity to each one of them, as an architecture student, I would love if my study plan included workshops of hand crafts such as pottery, woodwork etc, i believe that it creates a relationship and a deeper understanding of materials and how to develop their own expression and their own voice, not just simply choosing from a catalog and using them. Thanks for sharing your work!

Wow!!! Never even realized that I was able to watch it til the end without a pause. Your craftmanship is respectable!

i made a bird figure meanwhile watching this! Your calm approach in your videos really is perfect. I listened, and made my 1st clay model (Wich, it was like a sparrow with a long beak.) Keep on doing these man!

When I was a kid I thought that spinning orange clay like this looked delicious. I guess I still do, lol. Excellent video. Watching the work that goes into something as small as this makes me want to use hand-made objects like this every day :)

Thank you very much... and sadly no, not this time, I opened the kiln after a whole weekend this time, so it had another full 24 hours to cool down all the way to ambient room temperature, when that happens there's no pinging noises. The tinkling sound only really occurs when I open the kiln at 150ºc or so.

I don't know why but every time he picks up that wooden planche with that much clay work my anxiety goes through the ROOF

The skill and meticulous detail is amazing! Also I think I stopped breathing every time you picked up and carried a whole board full of pottery

How beautiful, the process, craftmanship to perfection, and the quality of the visual and contents? Unbelievable, legendary.❤

wow the amount of hardwork in just one teapot.. incredible skill and art

I made it all the way through -- which is nothing compared to the work you and other potters do. I really had no idea how much skill and effort and thought and care these beautiful items took. thank you!
