    Thank you once again for a very inspiring and educational video. We never had mandatory ceramics classes in my arts Uni, so I've had to start learning on my own. As an arts teacher I have to teach ceramics to kids, and I've found many art teachers from where I come from dread teaching 'clayworks' as they call it. It has been quite a slow process to learn on my own. I've attended some ceramics open courses here and there, but nobody has explained basics thoroughly. Students just come to work on their own projects.
    For example wedging or throwing aren't taught with much detail or specificity, the barebone basics are given. I understand skill comes with practice, but it does help to understand what you're doing!
    I have found your videos very helpful. I am inspired to see how you make your work seem effort less. Well it is not, of course. But your endless hours of work do show in your pristine work.
    How long do you work in your studio each day? It would be interesting to see a video on a 'typical day at the studio'. Thank you, Florian Gadsby for your exceptional work, it is a joy to follow!

Mastered relatively late while learning to throw on the wheel, I love throwing plates and I learned from my teachers different ways and tried them. Throwing plates is not difficult but quite particular, and as you explain and show in your video, there are many important details from beginning to end... I love watching your videos and paying attention to all your remarks, so valuable all !!! There is no end to learning, so I think and I experience it myself. Take care and keep your beautiful work going! Happy to learn along watching you, many, many thanks and love!

    When you need to replace some of those MDF bats, maybe you should try HDF (high density fiberboard). Same material but denser. It is more resistant to moisture and should last longer before warping.

    I've recently gained an interest in learning and practicing pottery and found your videos. They are by far the best and most informative I've seen so far. I do have a quick rookie question though: I understand your gauge helps you measure the outside diameter, but how do you gauge the inside diameter while spreading it out so that It lines up with the base? Is that more of a feel thing or do you measure that with your calipers during trimming?

      @@floriangadsby thank you, really appreciate it. I’ve been running into that my plates - or well what should have become plates haha - show circular cracks. They happen towards the end of the process when I’m throwing them, or either when they’re drying.
      When drying it happens more that it’s a singular crack along the part where the rim meets te base. Or when it’s still wet it can look like tree-rings and they’ll happen on the base mostly.
      In both case they can appear all of a sudden and grow for a little bit. Making me wonder if there’s internal stresses.
      Thank you for allowing me to ask, Florian!

    This was so informative. I was always curious about pottery. To be honest I watched the subtitles for a while before clicking on the full video. I'm very glad I did. New sub. And time to binge watch your videos for a while.
    That plate turned out amazing. I really like that webby sort of cracked effect. May sound like a stupid question but the final plate, was that coloured like that or is that how the clay turns out after its fully cured?
