In this episode on Tekniq, we will see extraordinary skills in a factory in China, where gigantic pots are designed from clay and further processed to make them sellable for commercial use.
fn amazing, lets go what an amazing process. Thanks guys all the way from USA, one day I know the Chinese people will be a free People with a government of their own choice. Freedom for all.
I would LOVE that job of sitting carving the relief designs, headphones in, totally chilling and creating something so spectacular! Not saying I have the skills to do it, but it's totally the kind of thing I'd love to learn.
I hate to be another party pooper but it sounds great but it is actually like any other job, and that means most probably stressful because of: possibility to mess it up and there is no way to fix it, deadlines, repeating constantly same designs so it becomes boring, hard on the body and you have to continue even in you are hurting all over. I am a hobby artist and I used to dream of living from my art. The moment I started to get commissions and earn money, or even paint with purpose to sell, it changed art for me. It became a chore and I did not enjoy it as much, so even thou I started to make money I decided to leave art to be my hobby, a escape and fun, and leave money for my regular job.
Its hard enough to learn to throw using just your own body weight and balance let alone working ‘through’ three other humans. Thats nuts! So impressive.
If I ever work there, I want to be the guy who slams the clay down onto whatever surface it needs to be on. I'd be like, "hey Pete, here's yoUR CLAY!!!" **SLAM** It seems so very satisfying.
The guy who throws is really good. Notice how perfectly centered he gets it? You usually don't see the first throw so well centered. Everyone in this video is very skilled.
The strength it takes to shape the pot on the wheel is incredible. I took a pottery class once and couldn't even get raise small pots. I was just no good at it.
I took a ceramics course in collage and our teacher made out using the wheel as some great skill that takes years to master just making a simple bowl. I made my first bowl in 10 mins and I guess out of spite or anger the teacher proceeded to purposely destroy my creation. After that I never took him serious and never let him touch my projects again. This of course didn't stop other students from ruining my projects either. It was a real eye opening experience for me, that your talents can be despised very easily by others.
True camaraderie. On the wheel, sharing an experience like this enough to make it normal is how we humans find peace...I am sure none of those workers have significant life or family problems. And... I wonder how it was done before fork lifts.
Talk about earning your pay! It's a wonder they have any hands left at all! Also, the most careful forklift driver in the world! OMG! This is so amazing!

This craftsmanship is nothing short of awesome! I wish all people in the world could just stop and appreciate the creativity and ingenuity of humans and stop killing each other over how our governments are different! What a world we would have to be able to watch something like this and be able to participate without the fear of whether or not I am a communist, a capitalist. a socialist, etc.! You guys (and gals) are doing truly great work and hopefully it will be an endless legacy for all of you!
What memories come flooding back to me. Wonderful environment to work in too. Although that folk lift driver was not on his game 100%. Some of the Peaces were so well designed. The kiln would cost a bit to run though. Thank you for the share.
They do the bottom. The next section is a cylinder, open on the top and the bottom. They join those two pieces together. They can even do a third layer.
Look at the wooden block under the wheel that was design to accommodate the forklift.... Then imagine how much torque the wheel have. And then imagine how it feel if their legs touch the wooden block.
I liked the large kiln. Didn't even think about making pots that big or finishing them. I wonder how much they charge for those. The designs were varied and some looked to be ordered by individual customers.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful!! I have a beautiful oriental vase about 4’7” it sits in its designated corner not to be messed with!! I could never work there! My brain would be frazzled about breaking one of those pieces! I can’t imagine what the process it would be shipping these beautiful pieces to wherever safely unharmed? Good stuff!
These potters are Just amazing 🤩the pride they take moving each piece so carefully speaks volumes ❤ The decorations are beautiful! A pottery I would love to visit if I could...
Wow!! This is amazing. How everyone works together in shaping and forming the vases, to painting and then firing. I took a pottery class in college. Put a lump of clay on the potter's wheel, started it to spin and the lump of clay came off the wheel and hit the wall. Still got a B in the class.

Wow ! The Pottery House for the Gods ! To do the centering of clay is challenging for just one person.... but two or three ? 😲😲😲 Incredible harmonic talent !
This reminds me of Americans who find really large rocks in the field and must use a tractor to have them moved into their yards. Why? Because it's a cool rock! So big!
This is fascinating. 7:15 intrigued what this man was doing. Curious how they make the ones taller than a person. Oh if I was wealty enough to have one. I see a rabbit hole in my future. Thank you.
9 “I watched till thrones were [d]put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; 10 A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The [e]court was seated, And the books were opened. 11 “I watched then because of the sound of the [f]pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. 13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:9-14
