Yes for firing pots with that spiral! That could be a fantastic effect, especially with those glazes that pool at the bottom and give a slightly different colour.

Yes! I agree, try firing the spiral! It would be lovely with your glazes.

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm amazed at your dedication to the practicality of your pieces. Most of the time in ceramics and pottery, people don't think about how their work could or should be used, but you're always thinking ahead and planning for how you want to lay things out. Love it 👏👏👏

I know this is an old comment, but every ceramicist and potter thinks about these things!

@22:23 my heart missed a beat when you had so many finished pieces on that board and you lifted from one end!! Amazing work really..

Something I can't get over is that you yourself look delicate like your pots. You have a soft and delicate touch even when it is firm. And yet you lift these boards loaded with products like they weigh nothing at all. You Sir, are a beast!

Yes u are my fav pottery ytber and teacher before I discovered Ur channel I didn't even know you had to wedge clay or spinning clay is known as throwing thx for being awsome

not only does your pottery have a beautifully clean and iconic style, but so do your videos; they're always a joy to watch. thanks for putting so much effort into your craft!

I love families of pottery (like your amazing bowls with different tall foot rings)--so yes to firing with that spiral and pairing it with a smoother vase, and adding a slightly shorter bud vase to the trio (for those shorter stemmed flowers that need a different proportion), and a bud vase with a heavier base for top heavy sunflowers... Beautiful work as always.

The Bob Ross of pottery. I love your videos.

beautifully done as always, I've binged all of the narrated videos a few times over by now and thouroughly look forward to everytime you post:)

Beautiful throwing Florian. Classy

Your vases have a very elegant shape. Compliments and thank you for taking the time to explain the technical aspects of the process.

I always look forward to the times you upload, your videos are always so calming and help me get to sleep, I've added at least 60 views to most of your narrated vids lol

Incredible, as an industrial designer this channel is so inspiring! beautiful vase.

You’ve got the perfect voice for narration or even audiobook reading

Your voice is so soft i feel like I'm watchin a guided meditation video. It's really nice, it fits with the (apparent, deceptive) simplicity and understatedness of your pieces

Thanks for another great video. I've been following your work for quite a while now and I'm so happy to see your success and growth. Congratulation thus far, a million will be just around the corner! Whether I'm; Drifting off to the calm and soft way you narrate and explain your craft and creative process Being humbled by your somehow passive rage as you passively crush a blooper piece under fist Admiring the minimalist, clean, simple shapes contrasting such organic, natural glazes of each piece your design Marvelling at the control and precision of your techniques Being inspired by your lifes journey so far and the complete lack of ego and narcissism in your telling of it Your video's always perfect Also, I'm not a potter,, but you've inspired me so much in the past year or so that I've been trudging through the local river banks, dug out buckets of clay rich soil with my children to filter and sculpt and really appreciate the process Thanks

I’d like to commend you on your art and instruction. The way you describe your process is so detailed, but importantly, extremely intuitive. I’m sure perfecting the process through repetition is a big help, but more so, it is evidence that a great deal of both reflection and introspection has gone into how you relate your experience. Thank you!

Wow, you are amazing! I was holding my breath on your making those pots. Years of practice are sure needed to get to this point. These are all so beautiful!

CONGRATULATIONS ON 500K!!! Your work is amazing and shows off your skills that you have honed over the years. I really love your design and glaze choices. It is a goal of mine to own a few sets of you plates and bowls for my kitchen. Thank you for taking the time to film and narrate these videos. It is so amazing to see and learn how much patience, effort and personality you put into each piece. Just beautiful......

I love your videos, they are very clear and show the entire process of the making of, congrats and hope to see more content!

keep it up! your videos are really helpful and informative. they’re also really calming to watch/listen to. just watching a few of your videos makes me feel like i know so much more. great work!

REQUEST: You mentioned a reduction in size of 12%, can you please place a "finished" piece next to a fresh "leathery" stage tall vase, for comparison. Thank you kindly for your videos and sharing your work. Much appreciated.

Love your work! Cheers from Brazil

Amazing once again. Thank you Florian.

Thank you. loving watching your videos. Master on my phone. Learning so much.

Amazing as always. Thank you so much for the content you put out and the effort you put into both the pottery and the filmmaking.

I just found your channel and have watched several videos. You're a wonderful potter and narrator of your process, thoughts and techniques and these videos are among the best out there on pottery making! I really love your work, the simplicity, grace and attention to detail, the way your vessels and glazes combine perfectly and the textures in your glaze. Lovely timeless and serene pieces. I'm very happy to have found your channel! Teaching is a skill unto itself, and it's so interesting to listen to you speak of things I'm not entirely concious of when making as it's just become wordless internalized experience. It's enlightening to hear someone explain why I'm doing what I do (and how/why your choices sometimes differ). I've not had a studio for a while, now I can't wait to get back at the wheel, hopefully I'll make it happen!

Your work and your words are such an inspiration in times like these when one is going through so much personally....your patience and hard work is truly inspiring. You amaze me with the beautifully shot videos and the detailed descriptions of everything possible a learner needs to be aware of, mentally and physically. God bless you and wishes you more success and happiness 💖

Beautiful. I want one

Such a relaxing voice! Sounds exactly like the Headspace guy

Gotta go big for the 500k Florian. Do a give away or something. That will get you those last few k subs.

I find these videos really relaxing, and also inspirational! Although I do lack the kiln if I ever intend to try to make something...

it's 👍like me that's awesome and very good

12:15 I had the EXACT same Idea when I saw the spiral. I would love to see what you could do if you made some pieces where you focused on accentuating the trimming marks/playing with them, as opposed to smoothing them out.

Congrats on 500k

I´m so much in love with the cylindrical teapot which has a tiny ledge around its waist and a short spout. *=)* (You take it out of the kiln at 21:24 )

I love the video so much ♥️♥️♥️🇵🇸

Question: Have you or would you consider making bonsai pots? Your specific style and color pallet would be fantastic for cascade bonsai, as well as some kusamono and shitakusa pots. Only real change to your technique that'd be asked for is a main drainage hole and at least two smaller holes for wires to feed through and hold the plant steady.

Really enjoyed the video.👍

So beautyfull 😍

Perhaps for your 500k celebration we see a new vessel you’ve been putting off making? Or maybe another sale of pottery?

Lots I could do! But somewhat annoyingly it looks like it’ll happen at the same time as my busiest time of the year in the studio, that being said, hopefully I’ll have another shop update sometime towards the end of this month, or the beginning of December, so that’ll work!

These videos with your easy, calm voice narrating only useful information are wonderfully instructive.

Me parece tan...relajante

That concave top of the vase (Insert your favourite chef's kiss meme)

Very interesting video, clear and complete explanations of all the processes. I always find your work very elegant. Why was there a bottom layer of glaze fired pots in the gas kiln?

Congratulations! What are the dimensions at throwing and after the pots have been through the kiln, please? Thank you.

I am watching this again because I decided to make a few toilet brush holders. Have you considered doing that? for 1. april maybe? I mean they just need to be smaller and have a window opening.

I love you I Follow you in a Tech Tok

love these vases :) just curious, how many lbs of clay do you use per week on average?

Love your videos! Can I ask what LED lights you use? They look fab and don’t take up lots of space which sounds great

Wow🥰🥰😉😜🔥💞💗💝

what speed do you turn at? Great video by the way!

Taverymuchindeedlad!✨👍

one question, how do you get the clay out of under your fingernails? :)

Nice video! Can you share pls how much clay have you used and what is the heights of the vase? Thanks!

No se ingles pero me entretienen mucho tus videos

If I can ask why at by b the bottom of the kiln is there peices that have already been in the kiln with glaze

What kind of trimming tool did you say you liked. Mine are always going dull .

What kind of clay do you use and do you have any good small home kiln ideas Thanks

in a couple videos I think the furthest he goes into explaining his type of clay is a high iron stoneware, he also just got into porcelain again tho

I like to use wax resist on the bottom of my pots when glazing, or to protect other areas I don’t want glazed. Do you use it often?

.hello Florian. you did say that before unpacking the kiln "it will sit at 150degreesCelsius for days and days"? That means that you apply some heat to keep it at that temperature for many days! Is there a good reason for that? Thanks.

@ragnkja

2 жыл бұрын

No, the kiln stays warm until the door is opened because it’s quite well insulated (otherwise it would take a lot more energy to get it up to 1290°C), and takes a long time to cool. It also takes longer to drop a certain number of degrees the closer it gets to room temperature, simply because the temperature difference between the kiln and the studio is smaller.

Cool ^_^

Do you have to glaze it and fire it a second time, or does the first firing make it strong enough?

u have to fire it after glazing so it turns shiny
