By My Hands by Florian Gadsby - A Pottery Book Review

Can you try making a double walled cup for insulation? I saw a video about how to do it called "double walled thermo cup"

There are new Mayco glazes. Soon a new video about them?

Jon! Great review! My husband got me into watching Florian’s videos recently & I actually found YOU after I started searching for something a little more “high energy”.

I love your videos! Hope you will do some live stuff soon!

I originally learned of Florian via the Great Pottery Throw Down, when he appeared on the show. So glad I did! ❤️

I can’t wait for more of your videos! I really enjoy watching. They give me lots of inspiration for my own work. Thank you Jon!

Love to watch you both.

He's fantastic

Jon -- I think one of the major differences between pottery in the US and pottery in the UK (and I'll include pottery in places such as Scandinavia as well) is that when I look at UK and European home/decor/design magazines, I see a style that is very spare and I think that aesthetic is a through-line in Florian's work. I also think that life for craft artisans in the UK is very different from life here in the US. Part of that is the fact of living someplace where you can be living in a house that is 1000 years old and people there are, I think, very aware of the work that goes into craft and are willing to spend real money to have real things in their homes.

MANIPULATED LIVES: Unmasking Social Media's Shadow please review this book 📕 😊😊

Jon, is your studio set up for solar?

I just read it too! It’s a great book and very inspiring. How lucky to have such amazing apprenticeship opportunities 😊

Sounds really interesting,thanks for sharing your review😊!

I got the book a couple of days ago and I have hardly put it down! It is insightful and entertaining. I would very much recommend it.

Brownie points for the florian colour coded shirt choice, just so you know someone noticed the extra effort haha

What are some other good poetry books to check out?

Florian videos are like a meditation

Jon satisfies my playful artist side

Thanks so much for taking the time to film a review, Jon! So pleased you enjoyed the read and the tiny cup, may it bring you many joyous espressos long into the future.

Hi Jon, so cool that you are going to build a soda kiln!!! That's amazing 🤩 It would be awesome if you could share your thoughts and choices throughout the whole process (I've only seen potters building the kiln in time-lapse so far and not really talking about their choices, options, materials, costs ect). Thank you and have lots of joy with building your kiln! Greetings from the Netherlands 👋👋

Florian is an incredible artist. Great to give him a artist thumbs up!

Florian is "mello" unlike Jon who "frantic"!

Now I want this book even more than before😍

Jon, you and Florian are the two potters that made me want to pursue pottery. Two years in and ya'll are still my favorite Potters. Thanks for being awesome.

Now that’s cool! Seeing potters talking and appreciating each others work with sich abdifferent style and history
