This video shows the creation of a new, angular bud vase form. It goes from the beginning, to the end, from a lump of high-iron stoneware clay that's transformed on a pottery wheel into a flower vase, (of some, peculiar kind). I then demonstrate the trimming, bisque firing, waxing, glazing and reduction firing to 1290ºC - the lot! I hope you enjoy this in-depth tutorial and please let me know what you thought in the comments!

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.
*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.

I'm not a ceramicist and probably never will be, but I have such a great time watching these videos, learning about the field and seeing all the different steps of the process. I look forward to the uploads every week and I'm feeling joy at the prospect of watching this upload now, too. Thank you for making such wonderful content and keep up the awesome work!

@discostoo 2 месяца назад

Mate, they're just so nice. I'm a working class lad who doesn't really venture into the realm of art, high culture or pottery but those vases give me that gut feeling of quality that I don't have the Times Cryptic Crossword vocabulary to describe properly. They also cost more than my current car, but after 33 mins of top tier craftsmanship I understand why.

@NateRidgway-gl5vq 9 месяцев назад

I love that you're videos go from clay to finished product with no go to my channel for part two. I also like seeing pots from different videos in the background. And I know this is a long comment but I finally got around to makeing a tea pot and I watched your video to learn how to.

If you don’t mind answering, how do you fire pieces at home? It seems like such a delicate process with quite a bit of machinery. I am interested in the hobby but can’t even begin to conceive having the materials required. Thanks in advance!

@melaniebuckley1772 9 месяцев назад

Your book! Oh your book is here! It’s gorgeous. My poor husband has now suffered through me rambling about wedging, throwing, trimming, burnishing, glazing, fettering, reduction and cones and Ciro for about 30 mins! (I have no experience beyond high school with clay). Gosh you should be proud, it’s a wonderfully put together book. I hope you are celebrating your book launch.

Thank you very much! Well... I try and keep on top of it but also, this has been a very hectic year with lots of time spent out of the studio doing other things, so inevitably I end up making less, which means there's less mess.

@suburbanyute340 9 месяцев назад

i think my favorite part of the pieces that you make is that; it doesn't matter which pieces, or even how many pieces that someone might purchase; they will always look like a cohesive set that belongs together. each new piece is its own form, yet it's never out of place sitting next to the other forms.

@Kraaketaer 4 месяца назад

Is it very odd that one of my favorite details of these videos is seeing the mugs and cups Florian uses for his coffee? I feel like this is such a nice window into the mind an artist with a very distinct and relatively stable style, but who (at least if these mugs are anything to go by!) clearly enjoys works entirely different from this. I might be reading a bit much into it, but to me that's a sign of someone who truly appreciates the craft itself in all its variety without airs of superiority or getting stuck in thinking your style is "best".

@kjkayat 9 месяцев назад

As someone who just started doing pottery 6 weeks ago and pretty much can only successfully throw tiny bowls, these videos are so fun to watch! I appreciate how detailed you are with your explanations, it really helps me understand how these things are made. And all of your stuff looks amazing!

@christinecook5547 4 месяца назад

great video - as usual! How important is the softness of the clay in throwing certain shapes, do you think? I'm thinking of especially working with larger amounts of clay so you don't feel you're wrestling with a material that is too stiff to do what your hands want it to.

@chrissommer8752 9 месяцев назад

I really love all of your work, and your stamp somehow fits perfectly with every piece. I’m curious - it seems like you either stamp the very base of the piece or you stamp the bevel, is there a reason why you choose one vs the other for any given piece? I understand that sometimes there is not enough space on the bevel, but sometimes it seems like there is enough space and you go for the base instead.

@juanQuedo 9 месяцев назад

@Duckies1023 9 месяцев назад

Quick question if you don’t mind answering …. It seems like you have to be SO careful with the timing on each different step with varying reasons. 32:11 At this time stamp, there are pots in the background that have not been glazed; are they on a time crunch? Or at this point can they sit around waiting to be fired again? Also, thank you for the content! I love watching other crafts that I know nothing about and learning all the in’s and out’s. You also make it very enjoyable to watch. Thanks!! 😊

@colinmoen3833 9 месяцев назад

I noticed when packing your bisque kiln that you nestled the base of one or two pots tightly inside the rim of the pot below. I have heard that this can sometimes run the potential risk of cracks, as the base of the inner pot restricts the rim of the lower pot from contracting as it shrinks slightly. Have you ever run into this problem, or does this clay not shrink enough during the bisque firing for it to be a cause for concern?

@idwsjnc1 9 месяцев назад

Does the reduction firing waste propane due to not having enough oxygen to combust fully, or how do you control that?

@ragnkja 9 месяцев назад

It’s not computer generated, but it’s definitely quite choppy.

@NateRidgway-gl5vq 9 месяцев назад

@@ragnkjayes just like Nile green

@floriangadsby 9 месяцев назад

Definitely NOT synthesised! I did have a cold this week, and recording was difficult, this thing took some 3700 audio attempts over two days, (whilst doing other things). Maybe I didn't notice how choppy it was but I typically don't write scripts for these and just wing it and make it fit - but maybe it's time to do longer, uncut narrations. The truth is I find the narrating part rather difficult as I'm not a naturally great speaker, I 'um' and 'er' a lot and I can't stand excess vocal-fry and other such things, so I record and rerecord until those are eliminated. Anyway, some weeks narrations are better than others, I suppose these longer videos push me to be more systematic with my approach but that's potentially a bad thing. I hope it was still watchable! Edit: I say 3700 audio attempts, that means sayings sentences over and over again to get the enunciation right, stitching them together, and so on. Probably not the best way to do it and perhaps it becomes too perfect? (Perfect as in there's no 'errring', mumbles, etc).

@ragnkja 9 месяцев назад

@@flourishingweee I know computer generated speech is possible, but Florian still sounds like Florian in videos where he’s speaking spontaneously to camera (or to another person on camera), such as the one he did with Tom Scott, and I also already knew a a bit about how he tends to record his voiceovers and why that process tends to result in somewhat chopped-up-sounding sentences.

@juanQuedo 9 месяцев назад

@@floriangadsby Nahh it is clear that you are not narrating them in one take but it doesn't feel choppy. You have a specific rhythm and pace. It is almost like you where reciting a poem. And i don't think that whoever said that it was Ai knows how Ai works. Doing it with Ai would mean same amount of work if no more that doing them directly.
