  • I've become quite transfixed by these angular bowls lately, thrown with a very narrow foot, sloping, overhanging walls, and a stepped rim. Tricky to make, each to mess up, but quite unique, I think? I this video I go through the throwing process, covering all kinds of little details. Next week I'll be covering the trimming of this bowl, with the inclusion of testing some new tungsten carbide turning tools that were recently sent to me.
    Like mentioned towards the end of this video, in a few hours time from this video going live, I'll be updating my online shop, (at exactly 19:00 BST, May 19). It usually sells out within a few minutes! But here's a link to the page, which won't be accessibly until EXACTLY 19:00: www.floriangadsby.com/shop

    Man, that shop sells quick. I had 2 mugs in my cart and they were sold out by the time I clicked "purchase." You have to be fast, and lucky I suppose. I was hoping having them in your cart would at least lock them for a minute while you make your payment. Perhaps next re-stock will be my lucky day. Love the video, and the work!

    Very sweet design; almost reminds me of the classic terracotta flowerpots with the stepped rim.

  • @stephaniebart-horvath1382

    I have been trying to make a shape similar to this for a long time-always failing! Now I understand that although this looks like it would be easy, it is anything but. I appreciate this and all your videos and look forward to seeing the next one where you trim this pot. Thank you!

      That is one thing that is so great about every Florian video. He addresses every step each time, beginning with wedging, centering, coning up, opening, first pulls... we all need to hear that, every time, whether we are neophytes or not. Each step builds beautifully on the last…

    It will be very helpful to us

      Haha! I know it's controversial, but hey, I've been stood making boxes all day with this combo and my feet feel great.
      EDIT: AND GOOD LUCK! The key is to be quick, checkout fast, save payment details in your browser, like Apple Pay, if you have it. It can all go pretty rapidly, which makes is a bit stressful, but it's also part of the fun. Like concert tickets to your favourite band or festival, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.

      He mentions the name “Mud Tools” (might be one word), whose sponges are apparently worth the higher price compared to the sponges meant for washing cars that he has previously mentioned using.
