I might not have mentioned in the past comments that The reason I value your narrated films so much is because I cannot see. I have no vision whatsoever (In that sense of the word!lol). I experience ceramic art exclusively through my proprioception and tactile senses. Though I cannot fully imagine the shape/form of your pieces I can definitely relate to the process of creating them. You’ve given me a lot of insight and I am very grateful for that.

The amount of time and effort it takes to not only make these pieces but also film the whole process and put together such a high quality production is honestly incredible. I looked up some basic throwing videos in preparation for an upcoming class my partner and I are taking. I found your channel and now I just start my day off with a cup of coffee and your how-to's. Makes all the garbage in this world go away for a bit. Thanks mate, seriously. Cheers.
These videos are so incredibly well made. The in-depth filming and detailed verbal instruction are perfect- equally matching the potter's crafting skill! Love these so much.
Fantastic film, as ever. I’m always grateful for the narration you provide. I can imagine at times it being a bit tiresome to explain some of the basic terminology as you go. Though I’m sure all who are new to ceramics really appreciate it, and you never know that some of the things that you find commonplace might be totally new to a viewer. Take myself for example, I haven’t really been taught about the wadding material you placed in between the jar and lid or about the carbon iron sanding paste you mentioned. Thank you!
Appreciate all the kind words Ryan. Exactly, many of these videos I try to make so that a new viewer would understand what's going on. I use a paste called 'Chemico' but essentially it's a grease based carbarundom grinding paste. It's a bit of a pain to clean off afterwards but hot soapy water gets rid of it. It makes SUCH a difference and it also grinds away clay, which means if the lid fits a bit too tightly it can be ground to fit perfectly. Thanks for watching!
What a treat to have found this video. Your explanations throughout held my attention lightly but firmly. I had intended to double the speed of the video (which I do for almost everything I watch) but here the cadence was a pleasure in itself.
This is the first time I ever watched this skill of making jar with sand. I felt like I’m the one who is doing that. Very much satisfying with your skill
I really appreciate all your narrated videos with detailed explanations! It makes such big difference for me to understand what each step is for. So thank you Florian!
It’s a hard skill to teach really, especially in a school/college environment. Hopefully these videos can help though for the students who are really interested! Thanks so much for watch, Luna.
Thank you for such clear and deliberate explanations, especially about the gas firing process and in all the subtle details most other ceramic artists omit…the fitting of the lid and trimming tips. I watched until the absolute end and learned so much.
This had me relaxed. The way you explain clearly how much precision and care you put into your work had me mesmerized, which made me watch the whole process with full concentration. I love your work, it's beautiful! You earned my subscription.
I love beginning to end videos, too. I'm just starting to learn, and these videos are by far the most informative educational content that puts into perspective the whole process. Also, it's just so relaxing to watch. Your craftsmanship is undeniable in the quality of the end products, both pot and video.
Beautiful job Florian! I don't know why kilns intimidate me but you are great at explaining the process. Also, I'm impressed at how well you documented everything.
You are a living legend. People like you are individuals who will be talked about all over the world for many generations to come. Your work is phenomenal
Wow, this video is a masterclass in pottery! Watching the entire process of creating a large pottery jar from start to finish is fascinating. The detailed explanations and step-by-step guide make it clear how much skill and patience are required. It's incredible to see the transformation from a lump of clay to a beautiful, functional piece of art. Kudos for sharing this intricate and time-consuming craft with us!
Wow your videos are the best. Your explanations are so clear and easy to understand. Can’t wait to get back in the studio and put into use your suggestions. I appreciate how detailed you are also.
Congratulations on your million subscribers! This video as always ( I loved the gallery making! WOW) was fabulous to the end when the kiln door opens and you can hear the pottery sing ( my favorite) I loved seeing the change in the colors and the gorgeous close ups of your glaze ! It inspires me every time! The depth you get is incredible… I also love how you get your lids so smooth they spin! I hope to be able to purchase a piece of any thing of yours one day🤗! Keep up your excellent work! Thank you so much for all you share
I have watched several of your videos. You make this look extremely easy. I have only had a couple of classes in college about 25 years ago and it takes a lot of practice to get this good. You are extremely skilled and produce nice videos as well. Keep up the good work. It’s amazing to watch.
I really appreciate the video! I'm attending a ceramics class and looking up some info beyond what the instructor has offered is what's led me to your videos. I've watched a couple now, they're great!
Seeing the whole process is wonderful. Your art is stunning and hearing your thoughts about the creation process really makes me happy. Thank you for making these videos
Thanks Akio - that's wonderful to hear as it has been hard getting the Shorts followers to watch my longer format work! Something like 90% of my viewers aren't subscribed, so I need to try and funnel those lot here too.
In an hour, I have my very first throwing lesson! I watched this video to remind myself where to aim. Thank you for your impressive craftsmanship and documentation thereof! You’ve inspired me to give throwing a try. :)
Made it all the way through your video to the shot of the ceiling! really informative and fascinating stuff here - I just threw my first pot two weeks ago, a little porcelain bowl, and have been watching lots of these videos to get an idea what I might like to try next. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us ❤️☺️
Just discovered your channel yesterday and can't resist watching to the end every time. The transformations are fascinating to me! The first vid of yours that I came across was a short in which you were adding tiny metal filings into the glaze (bronze and something else?). Was soooo excited to see the end result, but it ended with them going into the kiln. I'll bet you've got at least one vid with the end results? Will keep looking for it. Thank you so much for these glimpses into a more interesting existence than my own!!
Absolutely stunning work. I learn so much watching your beginning to end videos and I DO finish to the end. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with this community.
Another one where I watched to the end. Great work pulling together so many clips across so many weeks. And narrating so evenly. I appreciate the care you demonstrate in your craft and also in your videos. I love seeing someone else's skill and passion. It makes me want to throw pots of.my own.
Florian, your videos are incredible. You have inspired me to get back into pottery! Thank you for putting in all this work to teach people how to do something you love.
Wonderful to see all the work on things we use everyday. I just started with a course pottery and in between lessons (once a week) I watch your videos. I learn from it every time, thanks a lot!
Wow!!! I KNEW you were an expert potter (if that's the correct term) because you make it look SO easy!! I've only just begun to throw clay on a wheel and oh my gosh, it is far from easy. Thank you so very much for your calm, clear explanations that are free of excess chatter! Your videos are so inspiring and i bring your lessons to class with me to try to practice them. 😍
Got through to the end :) I absolutely love your videos and your pottery. Love love love. I’m a very beginner potter and also appreciate your in depth tutorials!
What a great process video, Florian. Thanks, as always, for your careful narration and accessible explanations of your production. And of course I made it to the end! I had to see the finished product!
This is just amazing. I'm at the start of my pottery journey and had a frustrating class this week, struggling to produce the most basic of (not very tall) cylindrical forms without the walls collapsing or the tops twisting and deforming. It was quite disheartening! But watching this and seeing the level of skill you have (and how easy you make it look) has inspired me to persevere, in the hope that one day I can create something this beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to film and produce such good quality, educational videos - the detail is exceptional and to a level that's just not possible by teachers in a group class. Can't wait to watch more of these!
This was so relaxing to watch. 😌 I don't normally watch UA-cam's this long! (I *did* make it to the end). After watching a few dozen of your videos this past week, I have gained a new level of appreciation for potters/ceramicists. So much more goes into these really refined pieces than I ever imagined. Thanks for filming, sharing, narrating, and your attention to detail. 🤍
I never knew it was a glaze that you added that gave the pots that kind of finish. I always assumed it was paint and some basic heat resistant varnish over the top. Very informative and enlightening, awesome stuff
So beautiful. I always wanted to try reduction firing besides raku. It's hopefully in my future adventures. Beautiful crackle glaze and harmony of form and finish ❤️
It's incredible, the amount of detail and precision. Masterful job, indeed! I hope to own one of your large jars soon, but I imagine they sell out quickly.
I always like your From Beginning to End videos the best. It's so satisfying to see the whole process through. Thank you!

The sound of the finished lid spinning is delightful, as is your narration. Thanks for the full walk through!
always nice watching your videos right before bed

I like how this form of art encourages you to touch it and feel the “brush strokes”
Exquisite! Hearing the lid spin so perfectly at the end: heaven.
These videos are so incredibly well made. The in-depth filming and detailed verbal instruction are perfect- equally matching the potter's crafting skill! Love these so much.
You are an amazing artist and teacher. Thank you for generously sharing your gifts and your knowledge!

@@floriangadsby I see, how interesting! I will look into that. Haha, carbon iron paste, I totally miss heard. Forgive me, I’m American 😂😄
I know nothing about pottery, but found that really interesting. Love seeing a true craftsman at work. Thanks for sharing Florian.

I really appreciate all your narrated videos with detailed explanations! It makes such big difference for me to understand what each step is for. So thank you Florian!
This is the first vid I've seen of yours and it's like I've just listened to a short story about the life of clay pot. It's quite lovely
I realized so much was rushed in my introduction to pottery. I wish my teachers had more time to show all the steps.
It’s a hard skill to teach really, especially in a school/college environment. Hopefully these videos can help though for the students who are really interested! Thanks so much for watch, Luna.
Fantastic work and great ability (and generosity of spirit) to teach your knowledge and honed skills!! Thank you. Enjoyed this to the end❤

That birds-eye shot of the lid at the end was great, the detail!
The craftsmanship is .. intimidatingly refined! I always saw pottery as a folk art not a science like you did. Mind blown!

Beautiful as always...and I was also excited to see how that yellow-slipped pot came out. It really has a fantastic patina! Very interesting.

Exceptional art, it makes me extremely happy to see someone so dedicated to quality in their craft. keep on making beautiful content and vessels!

Beautiful, just started my pottery journey and your videos have given me so much nspiration and information. Thanks 🙂✌️
Thank you for so much detail. I wish you had been around when I first became a potter.
Great video, and yes, watched it from beginning to end! That kiln opening looks like you should be really peased‽ lovely work.
Watched through to the end. You throw some gorgeous pieces man.
I saw the whole video. I enjoy very much. Thank you!
