ASMR - History of Ceramic (Bedtime Story)

In this soft spoken ASMR video, I tell you about ceramic: what are pottery, earthenware, stoneware, terracota, porcelain... How it appeared and how significant it has been since Prehistory all around the World (in Ancient Egypt, in Greece, in the Americas, in the Islamic World, in Europe, and of course in China).

Can someone explain why this makes me happy cry? Something about his voice and the history facts itself makes me feel the connection with generations, makes me feel safe and infinite? - beauty of life and humanity's love for aesthetics will always be there, before us and after us

Love the field trip to Paz’s studio! So cool when you take us on a trip outside - like you did in your Trees video.

[@Ace-du7vw]

Maybe I’m just dumb but I was not prepared for him to say that we’ve been making pottery for 25 THOUSAND years, like damn

[@flowersandwater666]

just out of curiosity how old you thought pottery was? (I published a paper about the transition from latter pre pottery neolithic to pottery neolithic and I'm interested in what like someone who's not that specialized feels about when humanity started doing so)

[@Ace-du7vw]

@@flowersandwater666 I suppose I hadn’t really thought about it before. My few humanities classes never went further back than Greece, and it’s been a good ten years since high school. I suppose I had been assuming we started developing arts and time-consuming tools once we’d settled. I wasn’t giving our pre-civilization ancestors enough credit, that’s for sure. I think this channel has taught me more history than my entire school career.

[@flowersandwater666]

@@Ace-du7vw yeah civilization is such a random term anyway

[@chinemapictures]

@@flowersandwater666 I know you didn’t ask me but I thought the question interesting… Because at first I agreed in a sense with Ace, yeah that is a long time definitely. But I’ve been watching history videos about Japan and I’ve learned a lot about a lot. So it doesn’t really surprise me that it is that old. And on another note, I made a random clay turtle when it rained in the forest. So I’m sure people have been doing that since it’s been raining, if that makes sense.

Another interesting topic that will take me 12 "watches" or "listens" to get through. I don't comment often, but I do thank you, amd you are one of only about 17 channels I subscribe to.

Wow! This is such a wonderful video. I love that you included footage from a real workshop. Your educational ASMR is easily the highest quality and most professional out there. And as always the visual ASMR is also perfect; so slow and relaxed. 😊 I'm so interested in the history of ceramics - this will be on repeat for the next few nights. For anyone considering supporting this channel on Patreon, it's well worth it. I've supported a few creators over the years and TFW is consistently the best I've supported.

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

58:32 They call them anagama in Japan and it's absolutely necessary for the production of traditional Japanese pottery. There was one constructed in SE Michigan by an enthusiast there, but I fear the skills are being lost. Thankfully Japan takes it cultural heritage seriously and spends a lot of money on traditional artisans and the preservation of their craft. The extremely high temperatures allow for incredible effects produced by nature that just can't be replicated otherwise. I'm totally obsessed with them. When you see something that you fall in love with, you know.

I know that music and sound effects may seem more professional in a video, but honestly, your voice is the main show in all of your videos. In my opinion, all the audio in your videos should be your voice alone. At the end of the day, they’re your videos and it’s your choice but that’s just how I prefer them

[@averongodoffire8098]

I totally get it, it’s like spice on food, sometimes people just don’t like it in a certain video or don’t like the sounds at all For me I enjoy them, they help me wake up at the end of relaxing so I can understand if it’s just uncomfortable when compared to the rest of the vid It’s all taste, no need to feel shame💖🤟
