How to Throw and Trim Bowls with Tall Foot-rings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- This week I'm making some bowls with tall foot rings. I show cross sections of the forms, discuss various topics, ideas and philosophies about the craft of pottery. I also updated my recording equipment this week, not the mic but I've added some acoustic foam and a pop filter, so please let me know if you can hear any difference in the audio.
Thanks for watching and if you'd like to see what I'm up to everyday, and see more images of finished work, check out my Instagram: / floriangadsby

I throw using a Rohde HMT500 potter's wheel and for the most part use Bison trimming tools.

I learned to throw pottery at the same time as I learned to turn wood on a lathe and they definitely feel very similar. Wood turning is just as enjoyable and satisfying as throwing. I think you would enjoy it. I used the lathe to turn the handles for my silversmithing tools, I can imagine you turning finials or handles for your pots.
I've been watching several wood turning videos lately, and I was thinking the same thing! I'm brand new to pottery, and I wish I had the time and resources to pursue both arts!
I know that angular forms with clear lines are more your thing, but for these in particular the round bases (the almost ball-like one, the houglass like one, and the slightly curved one) look so good! I think it is because they complement the upper section so well.
Maybe one day you could try and do a more angular upper form and then the straight or angular bases will look perfect on that
That's a good idea! I do make curved forms but they mainly reside in the bowl world. But these were such a joy to make, the hourglass piece especially. There's lots of room to manoeuvre thankfully. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼
I really love these pots. I think a tall foot is really stylish which can make it a functional or decorative piece. Can’t wait to see them with the new glaze. 👍
It was refreshing to see you make something new you’ve never made before. I think the base shapes compliment each other well and I can’t wait to see how they look in black!
Watching the hollowing of the chunky feet is so satisfying. I am ready for a journey to glazing territory!
Tall feet are great for hot rice or soups, you then hold the pot by the rim and the bottom of the foot so you don’t touch the heated ceramic.
You make pottery so interesting😚.I used to watch it for like an ASMR and it makes me used to sleep🤭
Mmmmm - I would love to eat ice cream from one of those bowls! My favorite is the one with the round bottom - I hope it looks good with the glaze!
@Florian I really appreciate the detail and comments you make during your videos. There are so many things which you could have left unsaid, but putting all those little thoughts into words really helps explain every little action and purpose so well!
I'm liking these.👍
I hope I can afford some of your work someday. Thanks for portraying your artwork throughout the process instead of just the final product. It adds so much more to the intrinsic value for those who care for the work of art, similar to why so many love the works of Bob Ross over so many other landscape oil paintings.
They're all so gorgeous! I think they compliment the rest of your pieces beautifully, there's a simplicity and precision to everything and it translates well to the footed bowls. Magnificent!
I love all of the detailed narrative. As a newbie, it's very helpful to hear. Thank you!
As a chef these bowls are everything I’d love to use for tasting menus. Beautiful shape, really refined but simple and approachable, love the height
Simply beautiful! Your narration is so enjoyable and peaceful,
I appreciate all that goes into your videos.
Looking wickedly good ^^
Love seeing the progression from glaze tests to new styles.
You deserve millions of subscribers.I love your videos soo so much
Thank you very much! Well, it could happen one day, I've just got to keep on making videos.
I love trimming because it relies on the skills I learned years ago as a novice wood-turner. It's such a lovely interaction between the object and the crafter to allow the object to dictate when it's finished.
Your work is so beautiful and delicate! Congratulations and thanks a lot for the video!
love these, can't wait to try this!!!! Thanks for sharing
Love these.
Thanks for the calming and quiet inspiration.
I find the cross section diagrams very very helpful!
Question: do you think you could make a video about how you "construct" the actual cross section? Is that something you think about? How do you end up designing and making all the inner corners etc.?
Thanks again.
Love and gratitude from Tel Aviv!
I used a lathe while I was at Steiner during classes 5 - 8, I believe it has similar features/skills. A large difference is you’re working horizontally on the lathe rather than vertically on the wheel, so all the skills are jumbled into a different orientation. A good brain puzzle haha
Stunning work! Wow!
Nice! I´m looking forward to seeing the glazed bowls! =)
Excellent !! Very beautiful 😍
This is how I make my goblets :) Cant wait to see them with your new glaze
Love these! Especially the round bases (:
I love your work 💜 all videos are so good .. peace 💜💜
Very into these profiles. Home run, Florian.
Please make a video of when you glaze and fire these.
oooooh wow, creative 😍🤩✨
Have you ever thought of wheeling throwing trimming tools? I just watched you make those pens and what you said about having beautiful tools makes a huge difference in your craft. Would love to see you make a set of trimming tools one day! I just started learning how to wheel throw and you have been a great help! Thanks for your videos!
Oh absolutely! I second this! Only if you want to tho :)
Lovely, my favorite so far. I’m attracted to the one with two curves as well. Stunning!
go OFF, florian!!
I think the two curved bases are far and above the best of them. I might have to turn one for myself. I hope I'll send you pics if I do.
They are gorgeous designs. I don't know quite what it is but curves meeting curves with the same proportions is nice.
The usage of the word ‘turn’ is interesting, considering that a potter’s wheel is effectively a kind of vertical lathe.
Cant wait to see how the glace turns out on those!
It's a joy to watch you ! Thank you for making this videos... could you put a photo how it looks at the end , with the dark glaze?
I'm curious....!
very nice
Check out more UA-cam and you'll see that skills, or at least knowledge, are transferable in all different directions. I'm a leatherworker who find the leather-state of clay fascinating and I dabble in woodwork and metal working. For example I've learned that when using tungsten carbide tools in metal lathes they like higher speeds to create good surface finish.
I adore your videos and your work. I am very interested in how you did your makers mark. What material did you use for them, what tools as well, I think it’s very interesting.
My new tea chawan!✨👍🍁
You could even notch the foot...
(ok Im rethinking that)
The circular foot is really satisfying. Do you plan to produce a variety of forms? A collection of bowls with different feet would look great.
Have you considered a video about the tools you use? I know you have the Bison vid, and mention a few tools within vids, but I'd love a vid focusing purely on the all the tools you use.
I'm new to pottery, and have been making a lot of my tools. It would be valuable to hear your opinions on what you commonly use, how you use them, what you've found essential or timesaving, and what tools have been less than useful
Huzzah! I've watched all your videos and wanted more but other channels just dont do it for me. Amazing as always!
Would make a nice egg cup!
Wow ⚡
Oh, we never got to see these glazed with your new black glazes. Dang
Super 👍👍👍
Nice
Nice videos. You have a comfortable voice to listen to! Have you tried to make high footrings by putting on a piece of clay on the leatherhard trimmed cup upsidedown and throw it up?
Good
Yet another awesome video! I have a question I’m hoping you’d answer. Did you have to spray the thinner parts with water at all to avoid them from drying too quickly or was the plastic wrap enough to keep everything drying at the same rate?
Thank you! Well, on a form like this, that's all made in one part, I don't mind too much as they shouldn't distort too much as they dry, but with handled forms of flatware I'll let them dry out far more slowly, wrapped with plastic and occasionally sprayed if they need it. I guess it really depends on what type of pot it is I'm making.
Hi! Beautiful piece! May I ask how much clay you started out with? Thank you 😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rice bowl on one side, Sake cup on the other ;)
How much clay did you use to throw these? You’ve inspired me to make some for all my friends when possible.
✨
Incredible work! where can i get quality trimming tools?
Bison is the place, bisonstudios.com although they can be quite hard to get a hold of!
💯😄😄😄
You should make a video of the gear and equipment that you need to have to have a studio
hola siempre tuve la duda, ¿no te queda mucha arcilla debajo de las uñas?
Maybe i missed it but how hot is the kiln for this?
Do you have a video about making your makers mark?
Not yet! I'll revisit them one day soon as it's much requested. Should make for a cosy video of careful whittling.
Cant wait keep up the amazing content between you and jonthepotter I dont get much done constantly watching ur vids
be a chemist and start from the ingredients, then how to combine, siv, then the testing process, highly expressing the length of time that it takes to get just the right color and texture over several fires and time
I’ve found using an air line works very well to remove trimmings from pockets similar to the foot your trimming.
Give it a try...
I could hook up my monster air compressor to one! If I ever end up doing a much larger batch of these I may very well do just that.
Have you ever made a goblet before?
Please Try a different colour like white
He does do white. See the pen video please!
These vaguely remind me of Donburi bowls. I think a bowl and lid set would be awesome to see you make
New wheel throwing
It is an amazing video as always.. But please tell me I am not the only one seeing the diagram looks slightly asymmetric.. Maybe I was wrong, my eyes just playing tricks on me..
If it is it's my own error! It could have happened, time to get the ruler out...
@@floriangadsby No worries.. I might be wrong, my eyes is probably playing tricks on me..
It doesn't have to be symmetrical. As you often said in your videos, you tolerate any angulations on the clay..
As long as the diagram convey what you are trying to deliver, then it's completely fine..
I like your videos. For me, it is not only calming, but also educating..
13 thumbs down from those jealous that they have no skills.
