- 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.
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.
This is exactly the content I've needed! Nobody ever shows this part of the process!
Exactly! This is the content You can't live without, but you never knew you wanted 🤣
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
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 would love seeing more of these unpacking videos. Really enjoyed the commentary and thoughts on the shapes/glazes.
My favorite is the teapot, the colour IS so deep I would spend hours watching it
It's gorgeous right? Just perfect for a long lazy cup of tea or three...
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!!
I love the way that seemingly useless materials can be turned into beautiful and useable pieces of art like this. What an incredible process!
It's so beautiful to hear you talk about each piece!
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 CZcams, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Endless fascination.
That book is pretty heat resistant 🤓🤓😛
i love when you do this on film
Ooo I'd love to see how that large bowl with the bronze pieces looks after a refiring!
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
You seem to be exploring spotty and splotched looks lately, you getting some nice looks with them.
The white bow with dark rim …very pleasing to see the contrast
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.
Beautiful work 💕
The iron oxide is gorgeous for your work
This was a lovely, well done video. I enjoyed it immensely, as well as appreciated your selection and explanation. Well done ❣️👍
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.
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.
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.
always wondered what people did with witness cones! makes your kiln look like a gingerbread house
Fantastic video as always. Hopefully some of these may make it into your online shop soon 😉
can't wait for the next selling
Your book even survives in the kiln 😂
That book is looking rather matte, I think it needs a second firing 😂
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 😂
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?
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.
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?
Follow up, if you were to reglaze a piece, would you dip or brush?
Curious - What becomes of the melted cones? Are they trash at that point?
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!
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
@@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...
I forgot just how much they shrink after fired.
Are the bowls coated with iron oxide still food safe?
White bowl with dark rim!!! Omg.
Seventh!
Teapot wins.
I was thinking about the bronze filings- if they were much much smaller, would they work like iron oxide does in a slip?
