Unpack my reduction fired gas kiln with me! This week, I'm inviting you along to unload my Rohde KG-340 kiln, to see all the thrown and trimmed and glazed pots inside. I also discuss how I tidy the work up the bases of my wares with diamond pads, and how I grind the lids of my jars to a glassy smooth finish. A slower, more considered film, that hopefully demonstrates what it's like unpacking a pottery kiln. Thanks for watching!

When you pulled your book out of the kiln, it reminded me of the time my pottery teacher was giving a lecture on wax resist. She said that if you screw up and wax somewhere you don’t want waxed, the only way to get it out was by re-firing the piece, and that if you spilled any on your shoes, it’d never come out. EVER. One of the students asked, “Not even if you fire them?” The entire class cackled.

After hearing recent comments of you concerning your relationship with making, I purchased your book. It arrived last week, and I am savoring it.

@tylermarieee97 2 месяца назад

This is exactly the content I've needed! Nobody ever shows this part of the process!

@Kera.S. 2 месяца назад

Exactly! This is the content You can't live without, but you never knew you wanted 🤣

@birotomodachi 2 месяца назад

Really enjoyed the focus on unpacking the kiln and bringing us an understanding why you thought certain pieces were more successful than others. As a non-potter, it helps us appreciate another aspect of your craft. Thanks again.

CANNOT recommend the book By My Hands enough! I struggled with reading my whole life (ADHD), and Florian's story is quiet, contemplative, and wholesome. I am nearly done with it-I plan to punctuate it with a purchase of one of his pots after I finish! Another well done video, my friend!

That white bowl with the black rim is absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍

just came to thumb up this

@denisenoble4010 2 месяца назад

The teapot was lovely, however the pieces with the trapped carbon on the rim, I liked alot. My favourite has to be the angled pot or vase. I look forward to watching you developing this further. The colour difference within the pieces, depending where their placed in the kiln is a magical mystery, please keep doing what you do so that I can continue to enjoy your videos. Thankyou 😊

I love the way that seemingly useless materials can be turned into beautiful and useable pieces of art like this. What an incredible process!

@brenopaiva7969 2 месяца назад

I would love seeing more of these unpacking videos. Really enjoyed the commentary and thoughts on the shapes/glazes.

@coreywells9498 2 месяца назад

Read your book over Christmas break finding it as enjoyable as your videos. Also a great general primer for a beginning potter. Your channel is a prime example of the positive potential of online media. Cheers!!

@sophiusdynami3401 2 месяца назад

It's so beautiful to hear you talk about each piece!

@maluciolemaluciole6207 2 месяца назад

My favorite is the teapot, the colour IS so deep I would spend hours watching it

@syzygy2043 2 месяца назад

It's gorgeous right? Just perfect for a long lazy cup of tea or three...

@ricedkiwis 2 месяца назад

There's so many interesting pots and cups and mugs and ceramics that intrigue me to no end in this video alone, let alone your other videos, let alone other potters across RU-vid, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Endless fascination.

@olavschioett4101 Месяц назад

That book is pretty heat resistant 🤓🤓😛

@melsyoutube Месяц назад

i love when you do this on film

@sokiX1 2 месяца назад

The book fired really well in the back i wonder if you cuould brush on a little soot or lamp black on the rims of some bowls or mugs to artifically add some carbon trapping

@LookAtThatDuck 2 месяца назад

Ooo I'd love to see how that large bowl with the bronze pieces looks after a refiring!

@josephine.strand 27 дней назад

Beautiful work 💕

@galacticmechanic1 2 месяца назад

You seem to be exploring spotty and splotched looks lately, you getting some nice looks with them.

@user-sh9gb3ou9x 2 месяца назад

The white bow with dark rim …very pleasing to see the contrast

@Argosh 2 месяца назад

In a long ago video you mentioned that you really should fire some of your intermediate work product (in that case it was a tall vase after the first trimming left a strong spiral). I would love to see that.

@Kera.S. 2 месяца назад

This was a lovely, well done video. I enjoyed it immensely, as well as appreciated your selection and explanation. Well done ❣️👍

@sunprints9916 2 месяца назад

The iron oxide is gorgeous for your work

@kimwells8395 2 месяца назад

I just love all of your work, even the ones you say you aren't fond of! I will have to check out your book so maybe I can learn how to throw pottery. It is something I would like to learn.

@MarchHare55 2 месяца назад

The metallic bowl (one of your five) is my favorite, along with another metallic bowl, the reddish one that was sitting on top of a prop. Absolutely stunning! I love your typical work, but the refires you do blow me away.

@redpandah3309 2 месяца назад

I know it sounds weird, but if you have a chopstick (singular), use it to stir coffee in your french press. Less grounds will stick to it and it's actually easier to stir with.

can't wait for the next selling

@Leo-lz7ow Месяц назад

always wondered what people did with witness cones! makes your kiln look like a gingerbread house

@mikeysmall88 2 месяца назад

Fantastic video as always. Hopefully some of these may make it into your online shop soon 😉

@mileswhiting8212 2 месяца назад

Such a great video for potters. Do you have a video of extensively going over a bisque firing? I have a manual kiln and it scares me 😂

@zenosebeth4173 2 месяца назад

Great video as usual. How long does it usually take you to produce enough pots to fill your kiln ? I feel like there's A LOT of items in there.

@lasrubieraspottery 2 месяца назад

You mentioned that there was a bowl that would have been better glazed in the darker green glaze. Have you reglaze pieces first with a glaze and then with another glaze?

@alekishi 2 месяца назад

Your book even survives in the kiln 😂

@lasrubieraspottery 2 месяца назад

Follow up, if you were to reglaze a piece, would you dip or brush?

@WaterPuppy 2 месяца назад

That book is looking rather matte, I think it needs a second firing 😂

@wolvis766 2 месяца назад

Are the bowls coated with iron oxide still food safe?

@YotamGuttman 2 месяца назад

once you've made a video of a sanding pad that sticks on top of the wheel head. I was wondering why you still prefer using a standard sanding paper over that sanding pad? also, I'm curious what you do with exceptional pots, such as the carbon trapped examples shown in this video. can you sell them on your online shop as part of your collection or do you need to make for them an individual listing, considering they're different from the product shots? or do you simply not sell them at all?

@BenitaStory 2 месяца назад

Curious - What becomes of the melted cones? Are they trash at that point?

@floriangadsby 2 месяца назад

More or less. I keep mine, as do lots of potters. In theory you could grind them up to a fine powder and add it back to clay to act as grog.

Taste in colours and textures..... weirdly the vessels I like... you don't and the vessels you don't like... I do like.... let's have a duel!

@daveprice5911 Месяц назад

I think you got mixed up phrasing that haha But I do agree, a lot of the pieces he was disappointed by I really liked. Those faintly blue speckled bowls were gorgeous, like bird eggs

@MrLewooz Месяц назад

@@daveprice5911 yeah screwed up the punctuation.... but you got the gist ... .hmmm I'm dragging my feet starting my ceramic work shop Gotta finish my wood works first and then I 'll crack on...
