Throwing and Trimming Some Porcelain Bowls on the Potter's Wheel

[@chrisdotdash5154]

I am a high school student who has been taking ceramics in school 3 years, as well as learning at my studio at home. I am incredible devoted and committed to my ceramics work, and it feels like a passion now. You are my biggest inspiration in this craft, and I have learned and grown so much because of your videos. I have actually been able to sell some of my work, and I feel like I am constantly learning every single day. Thank you for the high quality content and knowledge that you have been sharing.

[@floriangadsby]

That really means a lot, thank you Chris. So pleased these videos have been helpful and I appreciate every second you watch! Best of luck potting!

[@triciac1019]

What a dream for you to be able to do your passion! Good for you!

[@sharonolsen6579]

Of course I made it to the end.. ! I want to see every second .. these videos are pure gold !

[@AL-yr5hg]

But the end is the best bit! There's always a little ASMR moment. My favourite is when we hear the crackling of the pieces just after the oven is opened :D

[@martinpanev6651]

These videos are making me want to try porcelain again, when I was learning, I did a bit and I hated it, but when I see the beuty you can get from it, it really makes me want to hop onto clayking and buy some porcelain.

[@jnodal8]

Shoveling the trimmings into that bucket is so satisfying to watch and hear

[@michaelfurness8050]

My favourite channel to watch and relax to. I don’t even to any pottery.

[@ivyannanet]

I always watch until the end! The quality of your work, both in pottery and in videomaking, is a pleasure to watch.

[@MrLewooz]

I always make it until the end Florian!!!! I haven't got your level nor your accuracy... but I carry on with my own earthenware venture....

[@certifiedspinmop]

I always make it to the end of every one of your videos. It is always nice to see your works come to fruition in the end, and I appreciate the tips you share in every video. I picked up wheel throwing for an art project that I had to do before I graduated high school, and you have helped me so much through my observations and your tips. I am still fairly new to ceramics, but the art teachers were very impressed by what I could do despite my disability (I was dubbed the first "one-armed potter" at my high school). Regardless of my inexperience, I am willing better my abilities through every bit of knowledge and experience that I can get, and you are one of my primary sources of knowledge. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work!

[@spriteenthusiast6856]

i adore the unnarrated footage you leave at the end :) it feels so special!

[@dpw6900]

I have greatly appreciated the porcelain content as I have just recently started throwing porcelain. It has been very helpful. Thank you. And I like the second bowl better

[@loujones926]

I have a little Etsy shop and I listen to/watch you work while I make things. Makes work a little more enjoyable.

[@catubigklahrinz9553]

These videos are my favorite ones to relax and fall asleep to. I can hear every word and evert touch of the clay without having to crank the volume way up.

[@nataliewalker3095]

I made it to the end. 😊 Thanks for sharing again!

[@marktaylor865]

I did made it to the end. Monday lunch time but I finally got time to finish it. Great content again Florian.

[@jasonguest3447]

I also watch to the very end. Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@DunoonVanRijn-dx1hr]

As an Artist, your work speaks for you.

[@ericanaya2710]

I always make it to the end and watch some of these multiple times. Thank you for the insight and knowledge!

[@vilmavalanciunaite]

By watching your videos I have a much deeper appreciation gor handmade things even though I am a maker myself. Thank you so much for introducing me to such wonderful form of art 🖤

[@Sleepless_Chaos]

I know you did a video on reclaiming your stoneware, but I'd love to see you also do it with porcelain, even if it's exactly the same. I really like the way the clay looks, how it catches light so differently from the stoneware.

[@floriangadsby]

I've got a giant bucket of porcelain reclaim waiting to be done, so the process shall be filmed!

[@Sleepless_Chaos]

@@floriangadsby I appreciate all that you show us and the production value of your videos! I have severe anxiety and your videos have been a survival tool for my second year of medical school. Thank you again. :)

[@kimholtman5776]

“…blunt blade….” Love the alliteration! And I always make it to the end.

[@Fastskull]

I have been struggling with throwing on the wheel for the months I have been in a ceramics class but after watching your instructions I made a flower pot (almost). GOAT

[@zoekane4012]

Love your videos and your pottery! I always watch to the end and it's so satisfying to watch you clean up the wheel and the surrounding areas.

[@kanchankulkarrni3396]

This is so inspiring....loved the way you created the bowl. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Ninjavampiredino]

I have found your channel pretty recently and have enjoyed every minute! I love your style of throwing and I have learned so much in the short time I have followed you (maybe a month) and I have been able to improve my own pottery quite a lot for tips that you share. Thank you so much :)

[@LadyEsco725]

Made it! Thank you for another beautiful video. Can’t wait to see what you create next

[@nurrfisher4518]

your videos and commentary is so soothing to me, it acts as an anxiety repellent 🥺💌

[@andresebastian8099]

Really enjoyed the different points of view on this one. You're very inspiring.

[@floresta7]

You are such a great teacher, thank youuu

[@triciac1019]

Beautiful all the way through! I am enjoying trimming more and have learned from this video that I can take more off.

[@sarahimmelpottery61477]

Thank you for the video. I am giving a go a porcelain. Appreciate all the help and knowledge. And yes, I made it to the end! LoL

[@christinasuadicani8870]

Wow!!! Just wow! You are really good! 👌 Thanks for the inspirering videos. 🙏

[@bhumiladda4333]

You are the very great artist😊☺

[@Szegro]

Always a pleasure

[@joshuameives]

made it to the end, and I love your videos! I’ve been watching before bed, your narration is so great!

[@crunchybeen4263]

Love all your videos. So informational and filled with beautiful pieces. I am pretty new to pottery but love every minute and hope to set up a home studio soon. My daughter loves it too! I always make it to the end too!

[@MatthiasHautmann]

Shure until the end Florian! 😊👍🏼

[@pavlentos]

Thank. Watch till the end )

[@lapatron555]

Beautiful Florian! Doing great:)

[@sharkychris]

Turned my first porcelain pieces today, such a pleasure to work with - amazing buttery texture, you feel you can turn it to within a few mm of the available width. And sometimes beyond... vase is now beaker....oops...

[@ramilarai8591]

09:17 YAAYYY HE PROMISED THAT HE'LL MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HIS MAKER'S MARK!!!!!!

[@shuvalassaf]

You should try eggshell porcelain pots, I think you will love it.

[@floriangadsby]

Next weeks video will will do just that!

[@gorgeousgorge]

I've watched it till the very end! Thanks a lot for your videos, I find them very useful and beautiful at the same time. Perfectly narrated too. I do have a question/request: can you make a video about clay recycle process? How and where do you dry it out? How much time does it take? How do you store the clay that came from the manufacturer and wasn't used yet? What do you with the clay that has dried out?

[@Orangeslices00]

Would love to see how these turned out with the glazes!!

[@bananaedits5247]

I always dreamed of doing that but of course just as a hobby ,I know I wanna be a lawyer!

[@unnecessarydelivery5549]

Yay porcelain!

[@RayMrRobert]

Made it to the end master

[@jamesmcnulty3035]

Thank you.

[@remi3246]

Not sure why youtube recommended me this but i guess i'm into pottery now?

[@parthrawat9893]

Very nice

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Great video 👍

[@floriangadsby]

Thank you!

[@michelesimpson2237]

Love grolleg porcelain

[@chrzzzzz]

lovely work as always. What do you do with your blunt tools? Do you sharpen, or just replace them?

[@2terryparker]

Love it. Thank you

[@monkeychicken27]

Thanks for posting this video. If I may ask about your trimming tools: Referencing the first bowl trimmed in the video, What is the name or brand of the first AND last tool you used, please? I don’t recall having seen either before and thus, am intrigued. Thank you.

[@ernorubik7743]

All the instructions and tips these videos are packed with keep calmly permeating my newbie mind. So grateful and pleased! Both at 8:10 and particularly 12:36 there are two tools I'd like to check out (I can't identify the name you mentioned). Can anyone help out please?

[@floriangadsby]

At 8:10 is a trimmer made by Jaejun Lee leejaejun.com/HOME and the one at 12:36 is one made by Phil Poburka, bisonstudios.com Both aren't available all the time. They open their shops sporadically and you have to be waiting, ready to purchase. Fantastic tools though.

[@nicojiro]

yes, i watched until the end.

[@Elmaghrabiz]

I indeed watched till the end. Is the excess material recyclable into new pots?

[@floriangadsby]

It is! Everything that’s trimmed away can be thrown into new pots eventually.

[@lheurebleue5025]

Thanks for making this kind of videos! can you recommend a good wheel for beginners ?

[@AaronNicholsonAI]

Thanks a lot!

[@h2k6]

Is the weight different from throwing bowls in stoneware? Less or more or the same when using porcelain? Thanks.

[@clairepiper3987]

all the way! what happens to the leather trimmings please?

[@floriangadsby]

They’re all recycled! I have a few videos that show that process too :)

[@kareneasterceramics9376]

Hi, where did You get your spinning tool please? Your videos are amazing! 😊

[@cherryk4635]

I love your video 👍

[@floriangadsby]

Thanks Celia!

[@CraftsMan_999]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Neostapfia]

What is the small spade-shaped solid tool that makes an appearance about 7.50? I can never seem to find the right tool to make a crisp corner between the foot ring and outside curve. It doesn't look like a Bison of which I have several and adore. Apologies if you already said somewhere. I very much appreciate your helpful videos and hope to see your work in person someday.

[@krissader4855]

I did make it to the end.

[@jaycal1920]

The sound of unglazed porcelin...i wonder if anyone has made a bell out of it, im going to go check, also the sound of the glaze settling after being fired, its like borax in a crucible, little tiny cracking sounds its mezmerizing.

[@floriangadsby]

They have indeed! I believe Adam Buick has made porcelain bells but you’ll also find them quite a lot in Christmas decorations.

[@catzkeet4860]

I've seen beautiful windchimes made from different sized porcelain dangles

[@clarence-theregularcat7708]

Absolutely awesome! Is the groove still necessary with the black glaze? I would assume it might run a bit less then a snowflack crackle.

[@floriangadsby]

Thanks Clarence! It moves less that's for sure but I'm a sucker for tall foot rings regardless, that being said, when I use this black glaze next it's going on thicker so the groove could still be useful yet.

[@mdomar5254]

[@GreenDayFanMT]

How do you clean all your set-up before switching between different clay types?

[@floriangadsby]

I just clean it really well 😬 I don't worry so much when going from porcelain to stoneware, as the porcelain just sort of blends into the iron red clay but when I go from stoneware to porcelain I give the place a much more thorough clean.

[@alaynaelkins7129]

So, I'm buying a wheel. Super excited, but I don't have a kiln, so I figured that I will just pit fire them. I want them to be usable, to drink and eat off of, what type of clay do you guys think is best?

[@sirionyates8010]

Would you say there is a significant difference between porcelain and porcelain substitutes? I know that quite often the substitutes aren't translucent, but is there a tactile difference, and does it throw very differently?

[@floriangadsby]

I can't say I have enough experience with porcelain substitutes to really answer that. I'd imagine they're easier to throw and won't punish poor craftsmanship quite so much but I've only ever used a few porcelains and a grogged variant, which was quite nice to use. Perhaps someone else reading might be able to answer your question in more detail. Thanks for watching!

[@bradleya3381]

This makes me wish I could've tried porcelain before the wet clay work ended this semester, although I'm not even sure if my school has any... They did have a wedging table and extruder specifically for porcelain, so you probably have to ask to use it. That, or bring your own A lil edit: I usually watch until the end of the video, they're enjoyable and informative

[@NoemieBes]

Do you reclaim porcelain as well?

[@wizardyyy0]

🤩wow

[@DanielLeeshoulders]

Have you had to fire your porcelain pieces any differently? I go to a studio that does come 10 and they cater more towards stoneware. I notice a lot of warping on my thin porcelain pieces :/

[@alissia1519]

Gorgeous

[@floriangadsby]

Cheers 🙌🏼

[@pr0phes1ed]

Dude where can I get something made from you?

[@suzannedavis7871]

Where did you get tools fome?

[@floriangadsby]

Some are Bison turning tools, others are made by Jaejun Lee. Throwing tools are really just a mixture of things collected over the years from various pottery suppliers.

[@suzannedavis7871]

@@floriangadsby I know w you mean I just want better than a beginners packet. What you where using in this video looks well made.

It is too much satisfy

[@juanQuedo]

Knife makers are missing a niche here with trimming tools with high end steels

[@floriangadsby]

All I can say is there certainly is a market for them that isn’t being filled.
