Dear Florian, thank you very much for this great video. I took all my courage and write a comment. Not only am I learning about pottery, I'm also improving my English. First of all, I can understand you well because you speak clearly and pleasantly. Warm greetings from Bavaria in Germany, Theresa.

you are an excellent teacher. I just had my first spinning class and was so overwhelmed and honestly anxious due to the amount of information delivered and not at all understanding how all of the steps we were doing connected together. I now feel confident that at my next class, I understand the general progression and steps.

Thanks Florian for everything you share with us, in all you do, the throwing, the cutting, the way you montage the fragments, your speaking, your teaching, everything has this ‘Potter-energy’. Only watching you at the wheel, brings back the calmness and feeling of being centered and grounded when I was having my first lessons. I remember that feeling stayed with me most of the day.

you are so good at explaining how to throw! better than some of the teachers i’ve had lol thanks for the great content!

Him throwing a bowl: creates beautiful piece out of clay Me throwing a bowl: a bowl flies past the room, landing on the ground and shatters

this is the best explanation I ve seen so far! Thank you so much. I got a little disheartened today, trying to throw some bowls. Seeing you throwing with ease and grace makes me want to try again.

Such a helpful and concise video. I used to do a lot of throwing in my twenties, but haven't used my wheel for more than 30 years. Watching your videos has given me the confidence I needed to feel my way back into throwing. Thank you Florian.

I love that you tidy up at the end of every video!

This was a fantastic video on throwing a bowl. The cross section visuals with explanation are extremely helpful. Glad I watched your video, thank you!

Thanks for your videos, Florian! Could you at some point discuss wheel speeds as you mold your pieces? Thanks in advance! ❤️

I'm watching your videos since you have 68+k subscribers, I thought that why this man Don't have 1M? He deserve it! Look! Now you have 1M + subscribers ❤️ I'm very happy for you man! Your hard work and Creativity inspire me💯 Love from Bangladesh❤️🇧🇩

Thanks for continuing these videos. They are very helpful and relaxing to sit and watch. :)

Your videos are wonderful! Detailed and informative with plenty of visuals-I’m a former beginner potter returning to wheel throwing after 25 years. I’m relearning largely from you. Thank you for such a fantastic resource!

It's so satisfying watching the clean up at the end.

I loved your teaching about wing, having watched the cantering video before it. I had @ lesson today on throwing and whilst I could centre and pull up and push down to really centre the clay, when I tried to pull up, I took the top off twice with my nail. Devastating. So when I came home I watched this video and realise I wasn’t pulling up the sides comfortably due to my finger position. So I’ll try the other hand next time t week. Love your video training sessions. Thank you.

Very good explained...and shown. As always. No unimportant BlaBla. Your'e a good Teacher👍

Perfect timing as I started on bowls this week. Thanks.

I watched the whole video. Very informative. I’ve been perfecting my mugs for years and now going back to bowls it’s helpful to have a good video. Thanks 🙏

I found a tool like yours to help with making the bowls the same width. It’s been 16 degrees in sacramento California so have been glazing inside my house and minimal studio work. I can’t wait to till the temperatures decrease so I can go back into the studio. I’m also getting a chance to watch your videos. Thanks for your videos and great descriptions of what and why you’re doing things.

the ball trick is quite good to judge the curvature 👌

I'd love to try this, but I know I won't. Still fascinating to watch you explain the process

Hi Florian, love watching your video's. Very clear explanations. I've done some courses and treated myself to a throwing wheel. You are my best companion in my studio. Thanks a million for putting al these valuable video's online.

Your videos are so well done and informative, thank you!!

I'm a complete beginner and I just got my wheel and kiln last week. I'm learning so much from you. I follow you on Instagram and I love your work! Thank you😊

Thank you for the quality content my guy keep on throwing 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks so much!! You inspire me. The bowl shape is perfection.

Amazing and straight to the point! Thanks so much!!!

Thank you very much for making videos and sharing.

Thank you so much for your beautifully clear videos. Lots more please.

yooo you uploaded just an hour before I went to sleep, I had to choose a video of yours I've already seen lol

Your technique it's incredible, and it shows on the results you get. When reclaiming the clay from those large surfaces, do you ever have to worry about foreign particles mixing in with the clay, or even bacteria or moulds developing on it?

Fabulous video. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Very helpful😊

Always helpful and inspirational!

I still love your videos so much, thank you for sharing your expertise!

A very interesting video. Thank you for the explanation and demonstration.

The diagrams are super useful

Amazing video! Super useful and informative.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Amazing explanation, love it!

A great tutorial video

Excellent and attractive work

Thank you!! 🥣😄

Do you ever use bats? I’d love a video of just the tools and bits you use in the studio.

I'm using your style for pottery, and it's a really wonderful style.

Thanks Florian!

Hi Florian can you please do a video on clay showing the correct consistency of clay for throwing. Your clay seems to be very soft and when I use soft clay it collapses very quickly if I try to rectify mistakes. However I am finding that I have problems with RSI in my hands using firmer clay and now can’t wedge large pieces of clay or pull up a large piece of clay. Any tips or demonstrations would be great for an older potter who’s taken this hobby up in retirement. Thanks so much and love your helpful demonstrations. Lynne NZ

i love it! thank you for this amazing video

Hi again Florian another thing I would love you to show us how to sharpen the cheaper tools that many of us have like the pear tool and loop tools as mine get blunt so fast and I can’t afford expensive ones yet. Thanks so much . Lynne New Zealand

Very Good and nice work

Man, those look amazing... so simple and yet so beautiful! By the way, do you recommend any specific types or brands of clay for beginner potters?

Thanks for great videos👍👍👍

Thank You so much for your videos Florian. I have only started a pottery class and thanks to you managed to center my clay! Would you have any recommendations for a beginners wheel that is at a low price range. Not like the fancy pants Rhode you just got :)! Thanks!

Thank you

bravo!¨

when throwing larger 2.5lbs bowls of the same shape, will it be necessary for you to leave more clay in the base of the wall to support the weight i wonder. When i do , it seems necessary.... more to trim afterwards. excellent video . thank you

You are amazing. Thank you 🖤🇧🇷

Merci pour vous 🌺

@Florian Gadsby Another one in the can, Darlin' !! Speaking of beginner tutorials, would you happen to be familiar with any somewhat renowned Potter's on the eastern coast of the US primarily around the Carolinas. I've heard there are some in that area but where they are I've no idea and sometimes searching on the internet really does not help at all. I ask because I have absolutely no idea of where to begin, like which Clay's might be best for beginner hands, etc. So if you know a potters in that area, I be grateful and thank you Florian. 💋 Rock on, 😀🤘 Aszneth "Asz" (Tallahassee FL)

Thank you for the amazing videos! They must take an age to put together. I notice you don’t compress the bases of your bowls- is it not necessary for bowls?

❤️

This was cool to watch!! 9/4/22 🌞 951

Hey Florian! You mentioned the importance of the twisted wire. I was wondering where you got yours as I’ve only found twisted wires that have twists that are way too big for my taste.

Plzz ❤️🥰 make more videos 🤠

Hi Florian, very useful cross sections, clay weight and bowl dimensions - also why and how to remove the base and then return to centre of bowl to re-shape the form. Also to spin the wheel when romping the pot form from the wheel 🌟 T H A N K Y O U 🌟

Why do you use your index finger and thumb and not both thumbs?

How much clay is required for a plate. 400grams

👌👌👌👌👌👌😊😊😊😊😊😊

sun 4 sept22 Thank God😊

Hey florian - love this series. I recently came across this video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcdnnpp50M6Xg40.html) and was wondering if you'd ever do non-demo videos in which you talk about the influences on your forms and their development? I see a lot of influence from japanese ceramics and talking about how you've incorporated those elements into your designs would be really interesting.

How Can I purchase these items???

This is not what I was expecting......

👍👍👍👍👍🤗

My bowls collapse :(

I always have problems with the thickness of piece's bottom, I'll try the needle thing!

❤️
