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
Here's the conclusion to a video I know some of you have been waiting for... In this video, I'm following up the 'crimson pots' experiments. Thrown from red stoneware blended with an iron body and mixed with bronze filings, all topped off with a brand new metallic crimson glaze, that's what this video explores, the entire process from beginning to end. I hope you like it, please let me know what you think of the pots! And as always, thanks for taking your time to watch.
