  • I've been waiting a long time to slowly accumulate the footage for this video. It's another long one and it shows how I make a stoneware mug from beginning to end. I probably missed a lot in the video information wise so if there's anything else you'd like to know, please do leave it as a question in the comments and I'll do my best to reply.

    • @floriangadsby
      @floriangadsby  Před 3 lety +42

      Haha, yeah, I've thrown on wheels that sound like helicopters and all kinds over the years. Nowadays they've got to be quiet for the filming but really, that buzz does get to you after 5--6 hours. Thanks for watching as always!

  • @rosemariecodling1159

    I wasn't looking for people just making the mugs. I wanted someone to explain the process while doing it, with all the nuances and little details, tips etc. And I got EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not to make 'em myself, but to just know the process.
    Great video!

  • @melissachavez1837
    @melissachavez1837 Před 3 lety +3

    I love that you showed the whole process. People that don't do ceramics have no idea how many little steps go into each piece, and it's very satisfying to see each step in one video. I love your work, I'm hoping to snag a piece in your next release!

  • @BunniBeshara
    @BunniBeshara Před rokem +2

    I absolutely loved this video! It's funny how you make it all seem so simple, and yet we know how complicated it truly is! We know also the great skill it requires to have all of your throwing skills, glazing knowledge, finishing techniques, proper loading, all come together in a successful firing, producing your unique and beautiful work. Your glazes are stunning, and the forms have such clean and simple lines.Very inspiring! Thank you for taking the time to make this video; it was a positive joy!

    whole life before playing tennis I watched some videos of pros, just to mentally instill the right strokes, movements...then when you go to play it’s already in there 🧠 Now, before I’m going to handle, I watch you pull handles. It’s such a lovely gentle prep 🙏👍❤️

    Your videos are so incredible. I've watched through your beginners series twice now. I recently took a few private pottery classes at a local studio but at the final stage (glazing), they somehow lost my pieces. I was devastated! Watching your videos has made me feel excited to try again. I love how thorough you are and how much time you put into making these educational videos. Thank you!!!

    This is so beautifully specific. The detailed tips like using the glaze lid to prevent spillage and using your fingertips to desharpen the edges after shaping make me emotional with their elegance.
    Not a potter at all but I'm planning to make a mug for my partner's birthday at a local pottery class and this will help immensely with making it a gift that's at least likeable if not actually practical.

  • @amyandzara
    @amyandzara Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you for another wonderful video! If you have time to answer, why do you soak at top temp? The reason I ask, I run a small clay studio and we have had trouble with bloating lately (since beginning to use darker bodied clays). I’ve read that it has everything to do with oxygen availability during bisque firing. So now I loosely pack the kiln and leave all the peep holes open but it seems so inefficient. I could give you more details but I just wonder if this soak is for that purpose or some other. Curious to know either way.
