Sharing My Trimming Secrets
This week's video goes over a handful of my trimming secrets, together with discussing the process of finishing one of these tiny, angular bowls on the potter's wheel. They are tricky objects to turn, especially hollowing out the tall foot-ring, but there's a few things I do to make it easier. I hope you find this video helpful, and as always, thanks SO much for taking your time to watch.

The Most Popular Pots I Make

Miniature jars are the subject of this week's video, from throwing the components, trimming them all to fit, bisque firing them, waxing them, glazing them and finally reduction firing the tiny vessels to 1290ºC. Phew. Hopefully this video, with all its sped-up segments, give you a good idea of all the sheer repetition there is when creating pottery like this. It's all worth it though, as these ...

Using the golden ratio is a great way of scaling pots up and down whilst retaining a beautiful progression in size between them, and that's what I'm doing this week as I make a group of bud vases on the potter's wheel. It's the ratio I use to determine the weights of clay used, thereafter it's all down to me, as I try my best to replicate the smaller forms ever larger and larger. All of that, a...

After a week of intense packaging, it only made sense to create a video like this. This time, I'm demonstrating how I wrap my teapots so that they survive their journeys across the globe. There's a kick test... a stand test too, all in order to see how strong the parcel is. This particular box might be a little over-the-top, but as most couriers don't insure ceramics, I can't afford breakage to...

That bowl will spill over so easily
Stunning!!!
The fuck are U even saying on this video mate.
Cat's can have a little clay
that's cwazy
I’m sorry but you charge way too much for your pieces. Sad bc I really want one but can buy this exact thing made with twice the quality and consistency for 5 buck while you charge 300-400$
My pottery studio teachers and classmates are constantly recommending your videos to newer members. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with everyone!
I feel like you could narrate a documentary on the war or penguins lol
placing a double layer of newsprint atop a batch of bowls left to dry (rims up) seems to keep them from warping in my studio.
How do you like your clay?... Medium rare for me please!
I dont know enough about pottery, but why can you not use the apotty glazed ones? They look absolutely stunning.
That’s a plunger
Looks like a plunger.
Similar to Ashitaka's red stone blown from Princess Mononoke
❤❤❤
You should make a makers mark thats only the ᚨ that marks
When do you know that's enough folding?
When you first started using that glaze/clay body, what process did you work through to make sure they were foodsafe?
How does clay affect your skin?
I just live that nothing is wasted, & of course, a clean workplace is a safe & inspiring workplace. Love your posts
Hi Florian, I always dry my pots the right way up. I feel like when they are upside down they kind of drag over de wood during shrinkage. I now always dry everything the right way up and of course sometimes have items that warp, but thats most of the times mugs and not the bowls. Thank you for you video! It was a good one, x Robin
Hi! what is glazing material called? do make video on material used for painting and glazing. Thank you!
Your videos contain so much useful informations! Thank you therefor, it's an enrichment to watch them 🙏
It's sundaaaaaaaaaay!
On holiday in Greece and suddenly remembered it was Florian Sunday, now really missing my wheel 😂
I love the dog walking around in the sped up he was there during the whole process😂❤
Amazing work but I can’t get over how cute your dog is!!! What’s their name? ❤❤❤
He’s called Ciro, a very sweet pup, always steals the show…
Dear Florian, Thank you for your videos. Im 19 years old and i started trowing 1/2 year ago and i have learned so much from your videoes!
I love pottery making tho
Great tutorial again. And I'm always impressed how calm Ciro seems to be. He's a good Boy isn't He?
Never made it that far in pottery class 😢
Hi Florian, it could be worth a try to put a single sheet of newspaper under the rim of the pot when you put them to dry upside down at first. The newspaper is flimsy enough to shrink with the clay and to not distort the rim that much. I do find that I put my pots right way up whenever the foot is dry enough because the moist captured air underneath the pot, when it's upside down, keeps the pot from drying (as quick as I would like ;-)).
That is a beautiful colour. I also like the shape of the cup
This is great! Who doesn't want to eat their morningoats out of a plunger top
Ugh
Trimming is my favorite part! Love your tip on the marker lines. I also really like when you show glimpses into your studio and cleaning/setting up - not just what you are doing on the wheel. It helps to see how other people set things up and work in their studio. And of course the shots of your pup are the cutest ♥️
I'll start doing more of it then! I've got a few new lights for the workshop recently that are ridiculously photogenic, so I won't be able to help myself!
I needed this video so much. Thank you! I deeply appreciate your videos.
Pleased to hear that, honoured to have your attention!
I AM AN ADULT CHILD…. I am not ashamed of all that went through my mind. 😂😂😂
I can honestly say that watching your tutorial videos over the past month has elevated my throwing and trimming skill level greatly! Thank you so much for the time you take in creating these!
SO glad to hear this. Thanks for taking your time to watch, it's much appreciated.
that look very good could you show it after its fired?
I always dry pieces upside down with the foot up. In my mind it would help the lip not warp. Unless it was something I did during the trimming stage that I failed to correct.
Good to know!
The exorcist completely reshaping the public and expert consensus on exorcisms.
I really need to spend time learning to tap center. I'm very comfortable with my trimming skills but I would love to be able to attach the pot with slip like you do.
It's worth doing - I really need to make an updated video about learning the process as it's SO helpful, and I've learnt a few things in that time. Ultimately, if the pots you're making are slightly wonky, then it's a process that becomes much harder to master and being able to 'see' when the pot is actually centred is difficult as it'll move and undulate no matter what.
I always love trimming videos. I’m really trying to improve my trimming so they are incredibly helpful. Beautiful pots too!
Following so I can see a followup video about this j wanna see how it turns out 😊❤

Watching your videos reinvigorated my love of pottery. I struck up a conversation with someone I overheard discussing unloading a kiln and it turned out she is a pottery teacher. She's an ex Waldorf teacher, and I'm an ex Waldorf student. We both connected over your history there as well. Heading into her second year course in September!
It's perfectly recyclable! I'm glad you're looking into ways of doing it yourself. If it becomes grog, it's not waste at all!
I like to see the grog in your clay. There is something quite organic in these almost perfect bowls.
Thank you for sharing your skill. I love turning!
