About

Florian Gadsby is a ceramicist working with stoneware and porcelain in North London — here you'll find videos that show process, how pottery is thrown and finished and finally glazed and kiln fired. The videos here show the processes behind his work, such as the throwing and trimming of tableware and more sculptural pieces. For more regular posts, including daily photographs and videos, make sure to follow over on my Instagram: (www.instagram.com/floriangadsby). I restock my online shop around 3/4 times a year, with about 300-400 pieces a time, if you'd like to receive a newsletter about when these go live you can sign up to my newsletter on my website, (https://www.floriangadsby.com/newsletter). I also leave the shop page online, even though it appears as sold out, it usually sells out in a few minutes time, just to give you an idea of what's available and the price range, (https://www.floriangadsby.com/shop).

Video Description

These have been a long time coming. I've never tried making a coffee dripper/pour-overs before and well, they're a bit of a challenge. There are just so many factors with these that can change the outcome... the taste of the coffee, the angle of the walls, the size of the hole, the ribs on the interior shape, how the coffee has been ground, the temperature of the water and even the filter. It's overwhelming and this video is honestly just my first impressions of throwing a trimming a small batch of these. Let me know your thoughts, ideas, anything really, I'm sure there are things I can improve upon and I can't wait to test these in the future! Thanks for watching!
