Florian Gadsby yes, I did the same :]. It’s hard not to watch the entire video because you truly know what you’re doing. How long have you been working on pottery? I truly hope one day I can invest, and learn. It’s just not something I can embark on financially at this time, but it looks so fulfilling, and lovely. Much luck to you and your lovely work🙏🌷
Seriously one of the best pottery videos I’ve seen yet. I love the clear, calm, and concise why you explained everything as you went along 10/10

Me too
What you say about enjoying the trimming resonates with me. I just recently began throwing after a 40 year break, and I realize after thinking about the wood turning programs I've watched in the interim, how much I like that part of pottery making. I did hand building, which I enjoy, and combining the two, but I think it is the turning that I like best. Something about the fluidity that can be captured through turning, mesmerizing. I really enjoy your videos Florian, thank you.
The camera quality, angles, narration, and overall video production were as impressive as the pottery making itself!

I thought the entire point of pottery was to make a dish or pot as perfectly as humanly possible... so the fact that no two pots are the same would mean he failed at his task, unless the only difference is in color which doesn't really matter.

@@sebaschan-uwu “Perfect” in this case still allows for slight variations in the shape and colour, as long as it still fulfils the intended purpose. Immanuel Kant wrote about there being two types of beauty: pure beauty (the kind you look for in art, whose only purpose is to be beautiful and interesting), and dependent beauty. The beauty in functional pottery is of the dependent kind, as it depends on how well the item fulfils its purpose. If you have a favourite mug, it’s probably one that fits your idea of what a good mug should be like particularly well.

@@bondfool Sometimes it is but I’d say for the most part it isn’t. The best, most meditative moments are when I’m in the midst of throwing a batch of mugs or bowls. These are shaped I’ve made so many of I can sort of just switch off. Although as I’ve had so much practice I don’t have to fully concentrate, so often I end up just thinking about all kinds of things, so, to solve that problem I stick on a podcast or an audiobook. Those are my favourite moments on the wheel.

I've never been more eager to make some bowls right now. So intricate and time consuming yet very satisfying and peaceful.
I find this guy so relaxing. Seems like he is well-suited to his calling.
Though laborious, watching his expertise make this look easy is so relaxing. Quite a tenuous balance that makes for a transcendental experience.
Your voice, your explanation, your work, your calmness, just awesome I stayed for full 15 minutes and I am the kind of person who never watches any videos more than 6 minutes. But your video made me stay. Best wishes
A true mastery of your craft. All of the processes and skills working together. Mind and body aligned. Yet still there are some parts of the process you like the least, which is very reassuring.
your dedication to pottery is remarkable
Gods mind is creation Man’s mind is instrumentation...God bless you sir👏

I'm really looking forward to making pottery after my exams are over. I've been learning how to make pottery through KZread videos, and your videos have been incredibly helpful to me. Your dishes are very consistent and beautiful. I hope to be able to make pottery as beautifully as you do
My 11 years old brother was studying about 'tanah liat/clay' and I showed him this video. We're so awed watching this. Looks like magic!
Dude! The way you teach, throw, and edit is just amazing. Truly a master, I thank you~ Throw on~
when I was grouping up in Washington state in the 60's these kind of pottery was all the rage. it has fond memories seeing these again.
This is so beautiful, as a chef i really appreciate how much passion potters put into their work
Wow. This was absolutely mesmerizing. I can see how one could get obsessed with perfecting this process.
The process the filming and the result are all just perfection 👌
Wow.. this video was really 15 minutes?? I watched the whole thing and I swear I didn’t even blink... was so captivating to see the process from start to finish. Had no idea how it was done but this was such an interesting watch. Only clicked on the video out of curiosity, but that was actually amazing!
