I am a high school student who has been taking ceramics in school 3 years, as well as learning at my studio at home. I am incredible devoted and committed to my ceramics work, and it feels like a passion now. You are my biggest inspiration in this craft, and I have learned and grown so much because of your videos. I have actually been able to sell some of my work, and I feel like I am constantly learning every single day. Thank you for the high quality content and knowledge that you have been sharing.

These videos are making me want to try porcelain again, when I was learning, I did a bit and I hated it, but when I see the beuty you can get from it, it really makes me want to hop onto clayking and buy some porcelain.

I always make it to the end of every one of your videos. It is always nice to see your works come to fruition in the end, and I appreciate the tips you share in every video. I picked up wheel throwing for an art project that I had to do before I graduated high school, and you have helped me so much through my observations and your tips. I am still fairly new to ceramics, but the art teachers were very impressed by what I could do despite my disability (I was dubbed the first "one-armed potter" at my high school). Regardless of my inexperience, I am willing better my abilities through every bit of knowledge and experience that I can get, and you are one of my primary sources of knowledge. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work!

I always watch until the end! The quality of your work, both in pottery and in videomaking, is a pleasure to watch.

But the end is the best bit! There's always a little ASMR moment. My favourite is when we hear the crackling of the pieces just after the oven is opened :D

I always make it until the end Florian!!!! I haven't got your level nor your accuracy... but I carry on with my own earthenware venture....

[spriteenthusiast]

My favourite channel to watch and relax to. I don’t even to any pottery.

Shoveling the trimmings into that bucket is so satisfying to watch and hear

I have greatly appreciated the porcelain content as I have just recently started throwing porcelain. It has been very helpful. Thank you. And I like the second bowl better

[Ninjavampiredino]

I have found your channel pretty recently and have enjoyed every minute! I love your style of throwing and I have learned so much in the short time I have followed you (maybe a month) and I have been able to improve my own pottery quite a lot for tips that you share. Thank you so much :)

[ericanaya]

I always make it to the end and watch some of these multiple times. Thank you for the insight and knowledge!

[Corbainius]

I did made it to the end. Monday lunch time but I finally got time to finish it. Great content again Florian.

Love your videos and your pottery! I always watch to the end and it's so satisfying to watch you clean up the wheel and the surrounding areas.

[vilmavalanciunaite]

By watching your videos I have a much deeper appreciation gor handmade things even though I am a maker myself. Thank you so much for introducing me to such wonderful form of art 🖤

I know you did a video on reclaiming your stoneware, but I'd love to see you also do it with porcelain, even if it's exactly the same. I really like the way the clay looks, how it catches light so differently from the stoneware.

[catubigklahrinz]

These videos are my favorite ones to relax and fall asleep to. I can hear every word and evert touch of the clay without having to crank the volume way up.

I have a little Etsy shop and I listen to/watch you work while I make things. Makes work a little more enjoyable.
