Wow... came for a quick peek - stayed for the full 15mins. Great pace - well filmed - really interesting. Thank you!
Thank you! That really does mean a lot, it's hard knowing if this kind of content appeals to wider audiences, especially to those outside of the ceramics community. Thanks for watching!
@@floriangadsby Anything you put your heart into and truly enjoy is absolutely worth while. Just keep doing you. ♥️
@@floriangadsby hii sir. Which type of colour use for pottery ,? plz reply

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
💯🎯👏👏👏👏
First time here. Aside from how marvelous the process was, the way he speaks was like a poem or a screenplay. I really love it. I immediately subscribed.❤

Couldn't agree more!
Nis
Me too
We just care about price while buying this kind of things but actually we should think and care about the artists hard work and passion behind it
I'm taken aback by the neatness and amazing organisation of his workplace. Everything is so tidy.
The camera quality, angles, narration, and overall video production were as impressive as the pottery making itself!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Watching a skilled craftsman working and producing beautiful handmade items is a pleasure I never tire of.
I've never watched a UA-cam video with narration that's so easy to listen to.
Informative, calm, interesting, no ego, no bullshit.
Such an enjoyable video and the bowls look so good once they come out of the kiln.
New subscriber here for sure.
Thank you Chris. What a kind comment, glad to have you aboard! 🙌🏻
This is so satisfying to whatch and it's incredible to see the final result!
So pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for taking the time to watch.

AMAZING!!!!👏👏👏💯
I wish I had found your videos before, they are the best pottery skills/demonstration videos I have seen. Thank you for sharing and explaining every aspect so well and so thoroughly!
Thank you Marie-France! I'm really pleased to hear you found them useful!
👏👏👏💯
I am deeply impressed by all this knowledge. Touched by your kindness to show your steps and to explain so much for everyone here. Thank you!
here here u r spot on
This looked wayyyyy too simple. Anyone who has thrown before knows what he just did was unbelievable.
He made it look wayyyyyy to easy.

Yeah, throwing is an incredibly difficult skill to learn and he's managed to trivialize the entire process. He's fucking pumping out work on an assembly line in his studio like it's nothing. It's so deliberate and mathematic. Mind blowing.
@@Turkey_Fart Sorry, he's not trivializing the process - anybody who thinks that is an idiot. It's not an effing assembly line either - his stuff is entirely hand made, from start to finish, by him. He made it look easy because of his years and years of training, learning and perfecting the skills.
@@MTMF.london you don’t have to be so confrontational Jesus
The most remarkable thing ive ever seen. Youre at the top of your craft.
Listen to your soothing voice and watching your works feels like meditation...
I'm glad to hear you find my voice soothing! Narrating videos is still a new venture for me, slowly getting used to it. Thanks for watching!
@@floriangadsby Your voice is relaxing indeed ! May be its new for you but undoubtedly its a great addition to your videos! Thanks for uploading!
@@floriangadsby Do you find it meditative too, or does the meditation go away when it’s your livelihood?
@@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 love how you narrate, you have a soothing voice and it's easy to understand while you explain. Beautiful work and great channel!
I’ve been thinking about getting into pottery and make a career out of it for a few months now. I deeply appreciate this videos. Your work is absolutely amazing! Your passion and dedication are heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us❤️
Gods mind is creation Man’s mind is instrumentation...God bless you sir👏
beautiful work. I had my first pottery class yesterday and I have a new appreciation for what you do. I failed really bad, for 4 full hours.
Hey........ Know more about pottery #differentpotteryvlog
You didn't fail, you started to learn.
This is incredible. Much respect to the patience and passion that goes into what you do.
Though laborious, watching his expertise make this look easy is so relaxing. Quite a tenuous balance that makes for a transcendental experience.
Florian thank you for putting together this video. This is very rare to find excellent quality ceramic work coupled with the educational process and great video editing. Fabulous glaze.
when you stack them in the kiln for bisque, the consistency of the shape and size struck me. shows how skilful you are. always love your video! your video making is just as good as your pottery.
😍👏👏👏💯
You are my savior . I had my 1st wheel throwing class today and came and watched this, I understand more of what was being said and feel the way you hold your hands to pull the walls would suit me so much better. I will try this next week in class thanks SO much!!!!!
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
Wonderful attitude. Patience, calmness and a lot of respect for all the materials during each step of the process. This is Art.
This is perfection! I'm so amazed, inspired & impressed! I've never created any pottery before, but ice always been so interested in doing so! I'm trying to learn so my daughter & I can create some beautiful creations of our own. Thanks for posting such an informative video!!!! Straight to the point!!!
This is so beautiful, as a chef i really appreciate how much passion potters put into their work
i never thought of the hard work and passion that goes into these bowls when i handled them, wow good job
It's crazy to have been watching small clips of your process for years on instagram to come together in a very neat, through, and satisfying video, very nice! Idk why but the process never fails to enthrall my attention
Thank you Lee, that really means a lot. I'm so pleased you enjoy the videos.
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.
My first pottery video and couldn't stop watching. Very well shot and explained. Not too long not too short, perfect length of video
Throwing is so hard, I'm struggling with every stage, and have new found appreciation for all potters!
I love how the narration is full of good information all the way through the video. Also it is nice seeing the finished result !
your dedication to pottery is remarkable
This was so therapeutic! I loved watching the process. The attention to detail is crazy! I'd love to attempt making my own bowl, pot or vase someday haha. Great video! Thank you for the narration too, it definitely added to the experience.
I find this guy so relaxing. Seems like he is well-suited to his calling.
These are absolutely gorgeous! I love how no two pieces are the same. Each piece is organically unique which adds to its beauty. I never knew so much work went into making pottery. This video has given me such an appreciation for the products I have shamelessly looked over in stores in the past. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece!
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 didn’t humans start making pottery just to like cook and carry water lol who said everything has to be perfect ? We aren’t machines!! Those differences in outcome don’t mean failure at all it’s just natural :)
@@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.
You’re amazing, wow the amount of patience and skill you have is insane!!
So amazingly perfect in such a natural, organic way! Beautiful attention to detail

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.
I respect these nuanced insights so much, as I know they come from patience and experience over time! This is what makes me dream of being a maker's apprentice

This is so therapeutic to watch! Lovely pots. I want to learn how to make these next year. Im always fascinated about pot making. Thanks for sharing!
I've never been more eager to make some bowls right now. So intricate and time consuming yet very satisfying and peaceful.
Perfect, thank you for sharing your work start to finish! So often I see videos that take it through the throwing and even trimming to glaze but not to the finished piece(s) and it leaves me wanting the next chapter that often never comes. Much appreciated to see it all the way through.
Thank you Mary! Very much appreciate you taking the time to watch this through.
Also came for tips and watched the full 15 minutes! so generous of you to share you craft. Amazing turn out, beautiful pieces.
Wow. This was absolutely mesmerizing. I can see how one could get obsessed with perfecting this process.
Beautiful work! I like the way you trim foot rings. I appreciate the time taken to edit and narrate your videos. Very professional, soothing to listen. Your training, talent, skill, knowledge, etc., is just out of this world. I love watching. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Absolutely fascinating! My deepest respect for your dedication, patience, and hard work. There's divinity in it.
The process the filming and the result are all just perfection 👌
You art is absolutely to the highest level of elegance. Thank you so much fir sharing one of the most satisfying videos of watched on you tube.
I'm really looking forward to making pottery after my exams are over. I've been learning how to make pottery through UA-cam 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
Perhaps the finest tutorial video I have ever seen. You have got me interested in this fine art. Thank you !!
The process is very meditative and satisfying but labour pays off in the end. True work of art , so interesting.
I don’t know a thing about pottery, I’m just watching all your videos. It’s very peaceful
wow, you're amazing. All of it! pottery, guidance, videography, and the way you express it all.
This is one of the tightest, most well produced videos of the start to finish ceramic process that I've ever viewed. Looking forward to watching your other videos.

Wonderfully composed video Florian. Your attention to detail and care of the whole process is inspiring to watch. Many thanks for giving us a glimpse into your world.
“And that’s it. Now just to repeat this process 80 more times”
Just started having lessons on the wheel, your videos are really educational to watch, thank you x
I'll admit, I didn't expect to watch the whole video but it was so satisfying! The design was beautiful, the whole progress was interesting and educating and your voice was soothing and nice to hear.
So thank you so much for all of your hard work and for making this video so interesting

So so beautiful watching this. Like a ballet- a beautiful symphony.
And the finished work was so amazing.
Thank you- it was my first time to watch a potter at his wheel.
Poetry in motion 🙏

Ваше мастерство, терпеливость и точность впечатляет и вдохновляет. Спасибо!
Удачи Вам в делах Ваших добрых!
Dude! The way you teach, throw, and edit is just amazing. Truly a master, I thank you~ Throw on~
This video is very relaxing and comfortable to watch! Thank you for your talent 💕
OMG! That’s incredible. My 8 year old kid and I watched the complete 15 minutes. The video was straight to the point. Thanks for sharing this video. Waiting to see for more videos.
Beautiful video! Enjoyed and learned, at 62 and potting for 30 years it’s a real pleasure☺️🙏🏻💐✨Happy new year to you dear🦋
Loved how you explained the process! I finally understood how the dots form on the ceramic plates I have. Thank you!
Your videos are so clear man. Thank you so much for explaining everything so patiently. Glad to have found your channel. All the best 👍💯
Wowers!! I never knew the process was so involved!!
You sure make it look easy when making the bowls.....GREAT WORK!!❤👍
Mesmerising work. There’s a really beauty to quality craftsmanship. Great job.
Got mine a month ago and I love the bowl! Thx for the glimpse into the making process
Hooray! That's wonderful to hear, thank you! And thanks for taking the time to watch too.
Same
Absolutely top notch video work. The narration and description of what you're doing is excellent. As someone who loves hand made pottery I wish I could buy some of your work. Gorgeous work. Thank you for walking us through this. I guess I need to watch all your other videos now!
Thanks so much Chris, the kind words really mean a lot and makes the whole process of creating these videos so worth it.
Wow, you've got some of the most detailed explanations I've ever heard. This is great stuff! Subbed!
I've said it once and I'll say it again. These are gorgeous. I watch in silence, entranced lol. My favorite part has to be in the beginning, watch you shape the clay on the wheel, and the ending, where you take everything out of the kiln. Pottery is just a beautiful art. Thank you for sharing your process with us. :)
Captivating. I know nothing about pottery, but am finding all you videos and work fascinating. Thank you!
Wow what a process and patience it needs 😩😩👏🏻👏🏻…Kudos to u and the pots are beautiful
What a fantastic video. Absolutely brilliant and blown away at just how much work you put into this everyday. So much respect
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!
Amazing, my son and i watched this - we are hooked! So skilled! And you presented it so so well, Thankyou
This was an incredibly relaxing video to watch. I love your work.
I’ve followed you on Instagram for a while and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the effort you put into describing your process. You have a wonderful way of explaining complexity with concision and also telling us the reason behind each step - which is so important but often overlooked by other UA-camrs. Every time I read your blog, or watch a video, I learn something new. It’s incredibly helpful - you’re making us all better potters.
Thanks so much Leo, what a kind comment, that really means such a lot!
Brilliant. Thank you, as a beginner potter I found your video inspiring and informative.
Fascinating to watch the whole process AND have it so thoroughly and clearly explained. You put a lot of things together for this novice potter.
Just beautiful! one of the best pottery videos I’ve seen.
For things like this, UA-cam is just magical. Awesome video.
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!
My favorite channel ✨
This is so
Fun, productive, business, hobby, talent, therapy and you name it 😮💨
Thanks a million for the very professional work not only with the pottery but with the shooting, high quality videos, sound, lighting and angel .. if perfection can reflect on something it would be this hands down 🪽🪽
I want a good paid job so I can afford a small pottery workshop and start one of my dreams 🥹🤗
You are my new favorite ceramics UA-camr. I learn a lot from your videos, and the attention to all the details are admirable.
What an honour, thank you! So pleased you liked the video.
Your work is truly impressive; it reflects a tremendous amount of effort and dedication.
Love it! Pottery is such a beautiful, relaxing, frustrating but worth it art form. there's so much that goes into getting to your level of experience. you make it look easy but I think that's because of your endless practice, failures and successes! Gorgeous body of work and I loved your video and watching your creation process. Thx for sharing! Happy throwing!
Great video. It’s incredible how much goes into this art.
So many elements to this process. I had no idea. So interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Congratulations on mastering such an incredible art. From beginning to the end I was overawed by your skill and attention to detail.
Glorious.

I came here after your insider video just for a peak but instead watched the full video, it is very well narrated and filmed, amazing work bro❤, thank you
Thank you so much!
Your production is amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing .
Everytime your video ends I'm able to sleep. I have insomnia and your videos is so relaxing that I watch your videos every night before I sleep
