How a Ceramics Master Makes Plates for Michelin-Starred Restaurants - Handmade 

Much respect to your father and his craft

Respect, I'm just wondering how much did your father charge for his work on average?

Your daddy liked spinach by some chance? 😁

You're a Potter Harry

by any chance you have a sister bringing home a boyfriend? I wonder whats like shaking your father's hand as a guy.

I was thinking the same thing, glad someone else noticed.

BGM is subtle and nice too.

It truly was! This 11-minute video felt like 30 majestic minutes

give that woman or man a raise!

Ok boomer

I get it! There is something very special about handmade dishes ☺

Hi. It’s likely a terracotta-porcelain hybrid. Harder to make it even due to the very different natures of the two clays.

It also makes sense to me!

At the studio I go to, we have a pretty pink and also a white glaze. Both come out so nice when fired in the kiln. I love making pottery.

Damn it, beat me to it!

literally hit 3 AM as i read your comment O_O spooky spooky

Patrick Ritchey LOL!!!!

@@TheLordedge same here hahahah

3:40am checking in hahaha, never ever watch this sort of thing. Bless the algorithm

Take pride in what you do!

Could you please also stop spitting in the dishes and cups? :-))

@@Maloy7800 Gotta shine them somehow :D

@@valkys8926 I'm with you on that! Hey, it's green dishwashing! Recycling bodily fluids! Greta Tunberg is not angry at you.

Is no one gonna ask which Michelin star restaurant you work at?

Payday was yesterday and I want to spend my entire paycheck on plates.

Freddy FuFu Some are. I think of the Dyson vacuum guy.

you want 11min long ads?

@@justarandomguy2078 :(

Me too. Passion and dedication are so attractive, and engaging to watch!

I love how it’s “hand made” even though the clay is processed through a machine rather than hand knitted, how they use a template... not to discredit hi. Or call bs on him but that still like mhee.

its been done since the 18th century not a new process by any means.

people of all crafts use molds and jigs for literally everything. like, EVERYTHING. it's the key to consistency and saving you time by not doing the pointless mechanical work and being able to concentrate on creativity and quality.

@@SarcastSempervirens yes, I know of the existence of molds being used in tons of fields. The point I was making in the comment was that this way of molding was very smart and intuitive, and I, not being particularly knowledgeable within pottery not having seen this way of molding. I simply thought it was neat, and this being the internet, I had to share my thinking of it as such.

Our General manager had a saying "If you see China on your paycheck stub, don't think you're going there!"

I think a lot of these artisans realize that they have to be more open in order for the craft to continue.

True, but this artisan knows that he has enough clients that he will never be out of business. His work is so good that once other restaurants refer others to him, it’s because they want his plates. They don’t want anyone’s plates. He is like the Picasso of plates. Everyone wants a Picasso painting and not a fake. Plus, by him showing some of his techniques via RU-vid, doesn’t mean that he is showing all his tricks of the trade. This video is only showing the many possibilities there are for this beautiful art form to be passed down to other generations.

It is treu

It's got that tide pod swirl.

Its brown but it's ain't chocolate 😂😂

Actually, some natives all over the world eat clay because it has certain nutrients that aren't readily available for them otherwise.

I laughed at this

Ungovernable Evil Monger exept it won't hurt you

Lmaoo

this is more impressive than graduating from a "respected" college and selling your soul to 9-5 or 65+ hrs a week (i would unfortunately know)

@@mikepod637 Good luck with that

Many "claim" that they love what they do...and perhaps they did for a certain period, but eventually that love turns into a grind (for many, if mot for all)

like being a park ranger / game warden or marine patrol

@Mike Wilhelmson SO you hate your bussiness now?

Thank you :D

Demi! :0

people need something to eat off of still, we aren't barbarians!

@@piemaniac9410 yea we can use metal plates ! I wasn't talking about the plates actually but the pottery techniques. It was been used since the time of Harappan civilization.

@@ejaaz7260 it was a joke, i did understand what you meant the first time

Like in the BT commercial: _"Pottery! Very useful! Anthony, people will always need plates!"_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jC_-r-J69qA.html

@Far L Braaaaaaap!

Don’t say that. It’s NNN!

@RebelEvolution no idea what you're talking about. what is "these or those"?

@RebelEvolution i have nothing to take... im near poverty and have a roof and food and, free healthcare. been in relationship for about 20 years. im good.

Lol. Sad but true.

You'd be surprised.

@Green Giant Go to hell pls

@@tumu_bandit Hmm reminds me of a song

Green Giant I do not think it is a degree you just need to go for a diploma and most importantly doing an apprenticeship ideally into few different countries to practice the techniques .

But who do you get to play Demi Moore's role?

@@jarodmorris611 this was a problem. during training we had just 1 woman in the class...go figure. it was a mess^^ but also funny

@Tom Goldenheart Water, alot of water. Its the biggest part of the refining process. Clay is highly soluble. You run it through a mesh between many more steps and thats pretty much it. The refining process is much longer with more steps...but meh im not explaining that here^^

Haahahaha

HAHAHAHA

Mind blown

Would love to see his rival named malfoy asking him everyday like, "what are you doing today, potter?"

I don't get it.

@@sub7se7en Harry Potter..

Now all the restaurants on reddit in /r/wewantplates :).

Dimer I’m sure it looks easier than it really is. Very technical.

can confirm.

It be like that.

MMM yes, plates.

If he remembers to swallow his saliva occasionally

@@sluttybutt I can't stop hearing it now

considering he's selling plates at $45 a pop, i think the pottery is panning out lol.

doesn't pan out, i see what u did there lol

This is in the middle. A lot of work is automated, like clay de-bubbling and acrylic patterns. While there is some manual work, I would not call them hand-made.

@@FreezeS Agreed. The plates were pre-cut, not thrown and shaped on a wheel. And real hand-made pottery is not glazed with an air-brush. I do realized they have to deliver volume, so they mechanized a lot of the process. This is almost like a production line - may be a bit more refined?

He can probably get a reservation any time he wants to.

@@jeanclaudevindiesel207 even at Dorsia

He might if he's delivering the plates they ordered. He's right behind the local artisan mop-artist who handcrafts clean floors with a sustainably harvested organic traditional mop.

ilya.k Nobody goes there anymore.

He probably sits at the chef's table everywhere he goes.

You may be able to find a pottery studio where you can throw pottery.

Andrew first name Harry? 😘

Legitimately***

@@v1ryus yes legitimately! The sad thing is I didn't even realize it while I was in his class.

try it sometime, wont hurt you, just clay

It looks like Chocolate fudge

Because you missed that experience in your youth :D

Are you a fat boy?

i took a bite out of pure ceramic and it did not taste like anything but my mouth was like weirdly sandy for 10 minutes i would imagine this is the same (i work in a ceramic factory :P)

Did you try?

Follow your heart 👀😄

Oh 😆 I was like, who does this man remind me of? Ha!

i got a 4 year degree in ceramics. there are no jobs in it. this guy is not a "master" ceramic artist, he runs a factory. he doesnt throw his clay and likely doesnt make it himself either, he slab rolls then uses a dye. my ceramic professor would spit in my face if i told them I cut a plate out of a slab then used a machine to shape it.

@@FirstLast-gk6lg I definitely believe that you hold a 4 year degree in ceramics after reading that comment.

@@FirstLast-gk6lg "i got a 4 year degree in ceramics. there are no jobs in it" really?? who could have guessed that??

Have you watched "Ghost"? :D

The only issue is you need to use real urushi lacquer and actual gold in order for the item to be food safe afterward, and doing it this traditional way is a painstaking art form in itself. (not to mention incredibly expensive).

@@Peraou actually they make versions that use gold mica powder and are still food safe. As a potter myself I use the urushi resin (which is fairly inexpensive) and the mica powder which comes in a kit from japan. Its a good balance of the look with a smaller price tag. The real gold kits aren't as expensive as you would think though. But, for restaurant ware it is definitely not a good option. Its really for fine china and heirloom items. Not so much large functional pieces to be used daily.

Zakiah Bonnerwith I am also a potter and very familiar with classical Kintsugi/Kintsukuroi, and while using proper Japanese urushi laquer is correct, almost all gold mica (imitation gold) powders are not food-safe. If you happened to find one that is the exception and is actually certified for culinary use then that is quite a find. However outside of having a formally certified food-grade mica powder, usually the only way to guarantee both extreme longevity/and durability of the repair as well as its food safety (as pure gold is easily digestible by humans, and has been consumed in beverages since at least Tudor times), it is more advisable in my opinion to use real gold powders. Also, in my opinion pieces finished with real gold powder have a much more appealing aesthetic upon completion. However if you do not need the item to be food-safe, and do not want to/ can not spend on a traditional Japanese urushi/gold kit (they are usually at least $100 or so), one can also perform the repair with ceramic glue and a high quality art store mica powder.

@@Peraou I'm not sure where you look but food safe gold mica powder is very easy to find at least in my location. When I worked in the food industry we would use the edible gold mica to rub on the surface of chocolates to color them. Also a quick google search will show you that confectionery gold mica is readily available. My pottery supply sells repair resin for broken pottery that is food safe. I'm sure if someone wanted you could do some tests even with that and the gold mica in varying quantities to see if they would work together. But again, I use the kit shipped from Japan with much success and while it is not identical to the beauty of real gold, it is also very attractive and provides a way for me to offer customers a cheaper alternative to the real gold kintsugi.

But a lot of kids "dont want to go to school" but its just them being kids and they would regret it in the future.

On point

Art isn't as important to america as eternal student loan debt.

The system doesnt want you to be independent. It survives by making the people ignorant in America. So that theyll depend on debt forever. lol

I had art class with clay in middle school I’m going to community college know I haven’t checked if they have pottery I hope they do

@@ninjaslash52_98 - I'm hoping the use of "know" instead of "now" (and lack of any punctuation) is autocorrect and not a product of the education you've received.

Jarod Morris yes it’s autocorrect this is just a small taste of how bad my autocorrect is As for punctuation I couldn’t care less I’m not typing a formal email or writing an essay

Thank god for the democrats, which this entire company is. Xo

When you complete that therapy, just switch to the it’s not its issue.

Lol

ciao luis! i didn't know you liked pottery :)
