The Reddest Clay I've Ever Seen
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 05. 2024
- This week I'm starting a new round of pottery experimentation! If you recall the bowls I made with bronze filings recently, this is the continuation of that, or at least, the first small steps. I'm using a new, coarse red stoneware clay body in conjunction with a new crimson glaze, to hopefully create a more subtle effect. For this test I'll be throwing and trimming five simple angular vase forms. Sorry for the tease... I'll make a video with the results soon!

Not to say I don't like your typical pale green glazes, but I'm glad to see a bolder color in your work! I think the combination of deep crimson with your trademark sharp edges will look incredibly captivating. Enjoy your holiday!
Agreed! I recognize pottery makers for whom it’s their income often stick to not only a specific style but also a specific few often custom mixed thus custom colored & style slip. As it becomes their signature style people expect. So branching out to use new materials can feel risky & takes time away from making more of their signature work. But I think it’s worth it as many loyal customers are likely to purchase a statement piece/small set & it can attract new customers who like the potter’s artistic structural style but not the color/type of glaze typically used. I personally love having a pop of color still within the realm of what’s considered “natural” but not the various shades of brown, grey, blue or green. Such as what will be this deep rich red to reddish brown that is such a warm color among the cool shades of color. Although I tend to like such pieces to have a glaze that add a bit more shimmer. My favorite I’ve seen are those that add a subtle color shift & aren’t applied to the entire piece. X
I can’t wait to see what these look like glazed & fired! Almost equally interested to see exactly what color the unglazed part of the fitting looks like as the glazed part. I love naturally colored clay. ❤
So cool to see you throwing with the “murder scene” clay again! It must have felt a bit like revisiting an old friend, and I’m excited to see how it turns out!
Disease ridden is a bit Harsh! I quite like it 😂
I actually really like it... but there's no escaping the pox it has.
Remind me of blueberry muffins, but with red
@@floriangadsby Hmm, makes me think of moss agate or certain kinds of jasper. Like heliotrope jasper.
@@floriangadsbyreminescient of the pox in the animated film “sword and the stone” that Merlin uses to win the wizards duel
reminds me a bit of zombie skin lol. kinda fun in a way, and weirdly pretty
Man your forms are so elegant and beautiful. An unhinged series would probably look very cool; not a departure from the angular precision, but a departure from the planar simplicity with carved patterns, or however 'unhinged' would manifest in you.
On a different note from your lovely pottery, I'm very impressed with how you expose and compose your videos.
the bronze filings give such a cool effect in the original piece you made with it, im excited to see how this turns out! that red is stunning
Florian: Going on holiday for two weeks this month and coming back in May
Me: *screams in Where did the first third of 2024 go??!*
Don't. I'm terrified by how quickly this year is spinning past.
I'm always happy to see your videos in my subscription feed :) you make such beautiful art!
I’ve been using a dark clay lately and it always looks like I got a bad spray tan for a few days after throwing! Can’t wait to see these glazed. Hope you have a good time off 🙂
Very excited for the upcoming shop update! Hope you have a great time relaxing on holiday - definitely well deserved!
It’s May!! I can’t wait to see the finished product !!
"Hopefully I will find something a bit more subtle and less disease ridden." I confess I had the same "petri dish" thought. But those early metal-particle-infused works are still beautiful in their way, like everything you make. I am sure these new ones will turn out even more beautifully, and look forward to that video. But meanwhile thanks again, teacher: Though much of what you attempt is beyond my still-beginner-level skills, every time I watch and re-watch your videos I learn (or am reminded of) some techniques that I can try to practice the next time on the wheel.
Absolutely love the vibrance of this material! Can't wait to see the final results.
Looking forward for the End result. Happy and relaxing Holiday
This is truly beautiful to watch! I'm in awe of your passion for your craft and look forward to seeing more fun and mesmerizing concepts brought to life.
It is nice to see your discipline in achieving quality results ❤
I'm already hyped to see the end result, your videos are great and are one of the few that I'm always happy to recive a notification of
Floriannnnn, these look so good! Have a lovely holiday!
Beautiful red color. Love them. Beautiful.
Hi florian, I am addicted to ur videos
The colour on those is really pretty already.
I have a theory:
The air bubbles sometimes pop, but more often than not they will stretch out so much by being wedged, so as to become so small and stretched out, that they practically dissolve into the clay. Many gasses come out naturally during the firing, such as water (plenty present, ask any chemist), as the porosity is high enough to let them out at a trickle. The problem of the bubble is its size and therefore the quantity of gas that has to pass these fine and complex tunnels. the volume of the bubble grows much faster than the internal surface area. Once it starts to pressurize during the firing, the bubble will not be able to relieve enough of its pressure through the clay, possibly made worse by the clay particles under pressure collapsing shut. Then the pressure can become out of control and burst.
Now, I wonder, would a high pressure furnace make it possible to on purpose add make bubbles such that a cup, plate or bowl would retain the heat far better (such as a aerogel for example)?
Or what if you put the green are in a vacuum chamber or something to remove any gasses?
Can't wait to see the result 👀
Just beautiful work.
stunning as always!
damascus clay?!?
A lovely video as always!
these would be gorgeous flowerpots
Wooow!! Beautiful!!
Enjoy your holiday!
Fantastic!
I think these'll end up looking marbled, red metal with the red glaze. Can't wait :)
I love your videos! A question that has been stewing in my mind is to what would happen if you mixed a typical red stoneware clay with porcelain, either as a sort of marble, or homogenized as you did in this video. I'd be curious as to the effects of this, or if there's a reason it is or isn't done.
I would love to see a clear glazed if that’s even a thin, it would be cool to see the way some of these inclusions compare with no color to from clay type to clay type 🧐
As someone requalrly working with the material in metal working, tungston carbite will not be chipped by slight irregularitys embedded in such a soft material. It will after all glide through metal like a knife and take a lot of abouse. What really gets it is a sudden hit by a material as hard or harder than it. So if two tools bang against each other, even with not a lot of force, it will qickly chip. While it will bite without problem into anything thats softer than it. So it most likely happened when putting away the tool. It is quite like glass or ceramics in that way.
Let’s hope no reclaim of this clay makes its way to your porcelain stash!
This color clay really speaks to me. Im curious to see how the firing will go and the result of this experiment.
Love that you've thought through the relationships of clay, glaze and filings. But the best laid plans of mice & men...
I love the infectious desease pots, i wish u liked them too and made more with lots of the red
I'm new in all this, have your book and I realy love all you videos, you explain it so well, what's the name of your normal clay and glaze?
Out of curiosity, why is it you don't take a fine file to your steel tools to touch up the edge? As a wood worker if a tool is blunt we take them to stones (or jigs, grinders, etc) to bring them back to a keen edge. Is it because they blunt so swiftly it is a bit pointless?
what is the wire cuter you use. I like the way it looks
Lovely
Teaser!!!!
I would be keenly curious to see what those bronze filings would look like incorporated into fine porcelain.
maybe you could use a more vibrant glaze (if there even is i have no idea) to make a verdigris appearence
eager to see these pots fired!!
ooooh I hate those cliffhanger 😅
Does the red one throw faster?
This clay looks like raw liver 😮
I was thinking the same thing
Epic
this is extreme
i Love This videos
PLEASE DO WHITE GLAZE WITH THEM
If you go to Louisiana that is where you can find that really red clay and clay that is darker and reder than what you have there
it probably felt that corse when you were throwing because you had metal shavings mixed into it
Did you ever try loading ur clay with like 20-30% really fine copper powder
Grandfather Nurgle still approves this design 😂
Khorne disliked this comment
Disease ridden?? Hahaha. Come on now. It’s not that bad. I showed my husband the pic of the clay and he thought it was raw meat!! Can’t wait to see the clay fired!! Hats off to you for using such an intrusive clay color!!
❤
3:21 forbidden salami. I want to eat it and I’ll die trying.
Hooked new subscriber
forbidden red velvet cake
oh hey, the clay at my grandma's place has clay that looks like that in the soil. It sucks for people trying to farm or garden because it sticks to tools like a motherfucker, but the plants love the nutrients it holds. Such lovely artworks!
As a machinist, I cant imagine any kind of clay chipping carbide tools (last week i saw a carbide drill tip with a few pounds of holder behind it fall about 4 feet on to steel and it didnt chip) buuuut there's no shame in protecting your good tools
Ah, a real pothead
Why is the rims always damper than the rest?
2:48 forbidden sandwich
I actially thought it was Wagyu steak in the Thumbnail xD
The fact that every time I hear ur negatively commenting on the work I first get defensive “no it quite lovely I think!” And then u proceed to state the reason n I’m like yep aha I can see it 😂
i have an incredibly groggy incredibly red clay body as well i do not like throwing with it
I think this clay looks like velvet.
Always had a hard time lifting the pot from the wheel with my bear hands.
Sorry I couldn’t resist 🫠
ahh all them roof fixings eh ;P
"Less... disease ridden."
I snorted.
2:43 it looks like a sandwich from two types of bologna
looks like really mushy pastrami
Looks like an Heirloom Tomato 🍅
Anybody wver notice that he does a little pause before saying a preposition?
MONTHS?!?! come on… why did you have to show that amazing clay now then…
Crimson Peak anyone?
First thought: Steak.
Second thought: Plate in steak shape, upon which to eat steak.
Sir, now you’ve got me running down the rabbit hole of inclusions. What fun.
The soviet clay
The Bronz actually looks good you keep saying "diseased" looks like a birds egg.
That red clay on your hands looks much worse than i hope it was from the start
I'm very interested to see how these turn out.
I do have to ask, have you ever seen the clay-working done by the Primitive Technology channel? I, for one, would love to see a commentary on one of their projects.
Glad to hear so! And yes, I've been watching his videos ever since he started uploading them. Not much to comment on, it's marvellous what he's doing given the circumstances and his actual pot making skills and pretty damn good. I'd love to spend a week making and firing bricks, maybe with some shoes and a shirt on though, he's hardcore.
u should make diseased zombie glazed stoneware for halloween this year... last weeks experiment would look SO cool at a horror movie set or something
