You Learn the Most Through Failure

I remember quoting Florian in some of my first ceramics classes and the teacher actually started incorporating his quotes into the lessons. Not only that but when going in to study at the studio, I ran into the most gifted and natural person (also a beginner) that I had met so far and he also talked about how much he had learned through florians videos. His examples are the kind that get beginners or even advanced students past complex hurdles. Both mentally and technically. Anyone who’s struggling in their classes is in the right place.

I love this style of video that showcases both your tremendous skill and the fact that things can go wrong at any level of proficiency and that you never stop learning and improving. It’s so encouraging for beginners like me - thank you Florian!

I really love that you show both the mistakes and the successes. Makes the video so much more interesting to watch. Love your content man!

Thanks for another amazing upload Florian! After not touching pottery for years, I've been getting back into it and watching your videos gives me so much inspiration.

that simple trick of removing misc clay from inside with the soft clay. Never thought of that! Nice!!

Learning to take failure as an opportunity to learn instead of simply getting angry at yourself or even worse, blaming something other than yourself. That’s one of the hardest lessons one can learn and a lot of people never do.

Thank you, once again, for the detailed, articulate instructional video. Even through throwing more complex shapes, these tips help us beginners understand each aspect of the throwing process.

Thanks Florian for showing this in its entirety, as it helps to see how mistakes are corrected.

Your work is so perfect that it was a shock to see that bowl wobble 😮 I've done slab pottery and of course porcelain clay in molds but I have never made anything on a wheel. I love your videos❤ I love this bowl! I really like the turquoise color of your pots. You are an amazing artist!😊

WHAT a legend ❤ So modest, uncomplicated and purposeful. Thanks so much for this amazing helpful legacy.

i love your trimming style it makes each piece distinctly you!

Such a beautiful bowl. I could watch you wedge and center and cone forever. I love that you include and talk through those important steps every time, that we need to DO every time. And with those steps you have set us up to grok the more advanced moves that your videos encompass. As ever, so enjoyable and instructive.

the fact that you show your mistakes it's so important. We love to see it. Thank you for foing that!

Just yesterday I posted on Instagram about failures. That they are fuel of our progress and the like. Geniuses are similar 😂

I do love simple forms……that’s very satisfying to watch, Florian. Thank you

I'm new to throwing and my instructor has been showing us your videos... oh my gosh do I learn SO much here! Thank you.

trimming in layers is the best lesson I've gotten from your videos p. s. 12:50 felt that one in my heart sir.

These videos are such a good learning experience for me. I learn new techniques, types of clay, it’s great.

Fascinating. I was on the edge of my seat during your foot repair. This is brilliant. Thank you.
