I've been wanting to create some more bulbous vase forms that still conform to my angular style of pottery, and in this video I'm exploring a new shape that's particularly tricky to throw. Sharp angles always provide a challenge. Thanks for watching!

I'm a relatively new ceramicist, just starting my fifth month, and I've been trying to throw more angular shapes like what you do. This video has been really informative as throwing larger vases, understanding how to maintain the structural integrity has been really tricky and all about trial and error. I'm excited to try some of what I saw today. Thanks Florian

That pot is gorgeous, and I've never said that about a pot before.

The fact that almost all clay can be reused is amazing

@Argosh 2 месяца назад

Almost? All clay can be reused, even burnt clay still makes grog.

@alexandraframe6493 2 месяца назад

I love it also. It save you so much money and I hate wasting clay.

@mariAAAAAA_r 2 месяца назад

I'm not a potter or ceramicist but I'm completely in love with your craft and videos! The way you pour quality and care into every detail is so inspiring, absolutely love it

why not give it a go.. I got my 'cheap amazon' wheel for a bargain £92.. air-dry clay is around £18 for 12.5kg.. tutorials are free :) .. and reclaim your rejects :)

Found you through shorts and one of your comments said some briny about long form videos and now I’m hooked!

@mikepetersen7319 2 месяца назад

You mean you aren't an extremly clean thrower? 😉 happy Easter to you and your loved ones.🐰

@SweetPickins 2 месяца назад

Love your tips so much - the idea to check walls with the needle tool is genius, I’ve never seen that before 🙂

@DaggerMax1 2 месяца назад

I’m enjoying your book so much.

@ianhowlett4682 Месяц назад

It’s a great book, probably my “Book of the year” for 2023.

Started learning pottery a month ago, your video helped me so much! I pulled the wall with right hand finger and left hand finger at the same level at beginning and always had uneven wall and very weird rim. One day I suddenly realized left hand is slightly above the right and the right hand finger actually give left a support from underneath watching your video. Now both the wall and the rim become thinner and much more even.. Thank you so much for sharing the videos.

This has been such a lesson in so many ways, but mostly in teaching me about taking time, pausing throughout the process of throwing and assessing the truth of the process itself. I seem to be stuck in the process of getting it all in one go, in a short space of time. I actually don't need to, I can now pause, step back, and look at what I can do with the form. Why did I ever rush this before?! Thank you so much for this new perspective. It will change my throwing, which in turn changes the energy and atmosphere in my studio and work. Thank you millions 😊

@juanQuedo 2 месяца назад

I am playing with sharp edges, clearly influenced by your angles. 😊

@BellydancerMaliha 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for including the voiceover with your process. I have never thrown clay and I’m not a potter but I find your process so fascinating! I love watching every part of this and your videos are so well made. I can tell the care you take with them, just like each work of art you make.

The end result turned out marvelous

@anelisamtakati4016 2 месяца назад

Your videos bring me so much peace and calmness. I'm the furthest thing from a potter, but I absolutely love learning your techniques and processes. So grateful for you channel

Absolutely love this vessel.

@almac808 2 месяца назад

Love this shape, thanks for sharing

@seeingredtanya 2 месяца назад

I would have never thought to use the needle tool to test the thickness of the walls! That is a great tip. Thanks

@emilyh4998 2 месяца назад

This shape is gorgeous. Also, I didn’t know about being able to check wall thickness! Super helpful!

@nicolasdigard3878 2 месяца назад

Absolutely love this shape ! And the lines and arrows on the vidéo is genius. It adds so much ! 👏🤩

@xbaczewska4197 2 месяца назад

Love the lip with the shape of the pot. Harmonious.

@vzeimen 2 месяца назад

I really appreciated you camera angle and explanation of opening the pot and shaping the floor and angle at the wall. I've been working on this very thing so much lately so I can get that clay up from the bottom. This video makes me feel like I'm on the right track but now have even more to think about when actually doing it. Thanks!

@anelisamtakati4016 2 месяца назад

Wishing you the very best on your pottery journey!

@alexandraframe6493 2 месяца назад

It’s a beautiful shape. Can’t wait to maybe see it glazed.

@skiesview 2 месяца назад

It looks great.

@passionatemelon6627 2 месяца назад

this is like my favorite shape to throw but it collapses so often, these were some very helpful tips

@buckgreen4598 2 месяца назад

WELL DONE ! WELL DONE...

@jonathanj8303 2 месяца назад

You've mentioned in a couple of videos that the action of coning is to help the clay particles align. Once that's been done, does it give the clay any directional "grain", analogus to wood, that you can feel? Either during throwing or even as a difference in the properties with rather than across the grain after firing?

@Scou73r 2 месяца назад

The particles are too fine to feel or see any kind of grain, but they definitely do influence the strength and ease of throwing. Try marbling clay and you'll see what I'm talking about.

@NyxWhiteFang 2 месяца назад

Something fun about clay is that it becomes slippery when wet because its chemical makeup (specifically, how the little clay plates orient themselves and in what order the geometries inside it appear) makes it so the water gets inside gaps between sheets of clay, loosening their bonds and making them able to glide freely. This next part I'm not so sure about so please correct me, but: this is why different clays have different properties when thrown, kaolin is less slippery than bentonite (rich in montmorillonite) because its inter-layer gap is smaller, making it harder for water and other molecules and ions to get in there.

I would love to see your take on a Greek amphora. Would you make the handles have a straight section or curve them?

@amandabryan9386 2 месяца назад

I’ve been struggling lately with getting a crisp line on my pots which doesn’t waver up & down as the pot spins, something you mentioned in this video. Do u have any tips on how you combat this when u see it happening? What causes it?

@nekoette1974 2 месяца назад

Do you have any tips for a smaller person to throw a bigger type vase.

@jakicatancabelic9436 2 месяца назад

It is not perfect, but it will do? The imperfection lasted maybe 5 seconds!

@galacticmechanic1 2 месяца назад

That pot looks like it would feel nice to pick up with both hands, from either the top of the middle.

@wilhellmllw3608 2 месяца назад

New video!! 🫡

@user-sh9gb3ou9x 2 месяца назад

If you recycle porcelain will it cause bloating in the final firing?

@wartris1 2 месяца назад

Commenting for the algorithm!

@Nicoya 2 месяца назад

2:21 I wonder what sort of madman throws a vase without a cavity in the center. Just solid clay all the way through.

@floriangadsby 2 месяца назад

They'd make nice paperweights, provided they don't crack as they dry.

@hankkingsley9183 20 дней назад

I think I have sponges for hands because I put water on things and like 10 revolutions of the wheel my hands are dry and removing clay

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, your knowledge and your art. I do enjoy every single video and learn a lot…Big thank you from Hamburg 🙏🫶

I just came in from a frustrating day at the wheel, 1/3 of my attempts failed. Then here's a video from my sensei, who tells me I'm making my rims too thin, too early! How did you know???😄
