This week, I'm throwing, trimming, glazing and reduction firing one of these tall lidded jars. There are the largest version of these jars I've made. THANKS for watching and as always, if you have any further questions please do ask.

Wadding recipe: 50% China clay and 50% coarse alumina hydrate, mixed slowly with water until it has a clay like consistency, then wedged and stored in an airtight container.

I always like your From Beginning to End videos the best. It's so satisfying to see the whole process through. Thank you!

I might not have mentioned in the past comments that The reason I value your narrated films so much is because I cannot see. I have no vision whatsoever (In that sense of the word!lol). I experience ceramic art exclusively through my proprioception and tactile senses. Though I cannot fully imagine the shape/form of your pieces I can definitely relate to the process of creating them. You’ve given me a lot of insight and I am very grateful for that.

It’s a hard skill to teach really, especially in a school/college environment. Hopefully these videos can help though for the students who are really interested! Thanks so much for watch, Luna.

@GuardiansGuide Жыл бұрын

Fantastic film, as ever. I’m always grateful for the narration you provide. I can imagine at times it being a bit tiresome to explain some of the basic terminology as you go. Though I’m sure all who are new to ceramics really appreciate it, and you never know that some of the things that you find commonplace might be totally new to a viewer. Take myself for example, I haven’t really been taught about the wadding material you placed in between the jar and lid or about the carbon iron sanding paste you mentioned. Thank you!

@floriangadsby Жыл бұрын

Appreciate all the kind words Ryan. Exactly, many of these videos I try to make so that a new viewer would understand what's going on. I use a paste called 'Chemico' but essentially it's a grease based carbarundom grinding paste. It's a bit of a pain to clean off afterwards but hot soapy water gets rid of it. It makes SUCH a difference and it also grinds away clay, which means if the lid fits a bit too tightly it can be ground to fit perfectly. Thanks for watching!

The amount of time and effort it takes to not only make these pieces but also film the whole process and put together such a high quality production is honestly incredible. I looked up some basic throwing videos in preparation for an upcoming class my partner and I are taking. I found your channel and now I just start my day off with a cup of coffee and your how-to's. Makes all the garbage in this world go away for a bit. Thanks mate, seriously. Cheers.

It was quite disheartening! But watching this and seeing the level of skill you have (and how easy you make it look) has inspired me to persevere, in the hope that one day I can create something this beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to film and produce such good quality, educational videos - the detail is exceptional and to a level that's just not possible by teachers in a group class.
