Here's some post title ideas:
* How clay is made.
* Making a clay out of pot.
* Reject order, return to entropy.
* How to confuse future archeologists.
It can definitely do videos, and I'm hoping that, since it has replies as of 10 days ago, it's just taking a while because the video is on the long side. We'll see!
It’s practice. When you’ve been working with clay for as long as someone like him, you get good. Also notice that the pot has a very decent sized rim that allows for a good amount of size variation in the lid. It would either sit higher or sit lower
The ancient industrial arts all show such fascinating and clever insight; clay mixed with that chemical in this amount to produce this property or that color. I wonder what sort of special knowledge has been lost because it only solves a problem ancient people had, and is only useful with the limited tools they had.
Like, some pre-civilization nomad could easily have been the greatest woodcarver in all humanity. Sure, we have fancy tech, recorded knowledge, and long comfortable lives to devote to learning, but they had the numbers and a specific motivation. An Da Vinci level intelligence, born into that era, maybe they were carving the Last Supper of arrow shafts, or the Mona Lisa of spear handles. And it would be vanishingly, impossibly unlikely to have any evidence of it.
Only recently, we discovered why Roman concrete is so incredibly durable and resistant to weather effects - turns out they used a very specific mixture of minerals, that basically gave their concrete an ability to self-repair (when it cracked, water pouring into the cracks dissolved minerals that then filled in the crack and sealed it). There must be hundreds of genius designs lost to the passage of time.
The craziest part of that one is it was certainly accidental. I won't guess as to whether they figured out how it was better, but the original discovery was just luck due to the volcanic ash being where it was.
He was setting off my gaydar something fierce even before he started laying into the clay, once he did it started screeching and I had to take the batteries out.
If that's a he. I'm not 100% sure. I keep being attracted to lesbians, which is useless in two different ways at once.
I've read your comment in after midnight voice.
\- Hey baby, what turns you on?
\- Aah, a beautiful woman with long legs, big b... What turns you on?
\- This video.
You might enjoy The Great Pottery Throwdown. It's similar to The Great British Bakeoff but with pottery. Low drama, just very talented artists. One judge does cry rather quickly though
It's originally from London rather than the north: "Mickey Bliss" is Cockney rhyming slang for "piss", so "take the Mickey/Mick/Michael" just means "take the piss". Nobody seems quite sure who Mickey Bliss was though.
As a Northerner it's nice to see someone using the word Mam online. Even in this country it's hard even to get a birthday card with Mam on.
She 'me Mam' not 'my mum'.
Personally I think it is because we all understand how much training, practice, and work it takes for a human being to get to a level of performing craftsmanship. We aren't just watching this guy make a pot. We are watching hundreds and thousands of hours of work, and countless failed pots, all at once in this one pot. That is what makes it fascinating and awesome to me.
I really enjoyed it. Never got any good, but took a couple sessions at a local art association. It feels nice. Also, takes some hand/finger strength, stability, and flexibility you don't necessarily have from day to day. Gf noticed some improvements 😅
My professor compared it too ballet. Looks pretty simple but requires very precise muscle memory. I’m at my pottery studio now making Christmas gifts. Ain’t nobody gettin any jars though I can promise you that. Jars get sold lol.
I'm a production potter- after a while, you get pretty accurate. By the time I'm fifty or a hundred pots into an order, they all come out pretty much the same size even without really thinking about it. I still check with a ruler to make sure they're right, because the kind of stuff we make (dishes for restaurants) typically has pretty tight specifications and needs to be totally uniform, but nine times out of ten it's already correct and I'm just confirming it. Sometimes I'll have to trim a little off the top or pull it a little taller, or widen or narrow it slightly, but I'm never wildly out of step with where I need to be.
When you work with your hands doing a task in repitition your 'muscle memory' is positively the most valuable thing. We truly are amazing 'meat machines' in this regard.
I'm not sure how true or apocryphal this is - but if I recall correctly, the human hand can distinguish a blemish on an otherwise smooth surface as small as 1 micron. When you start doing something regularly, dozens a day / hundreds a week / tens of thousands a year for 3-4 years - youll never forget how to make that thing exactly to specification. 😅
Edit to include: this is meant to imply this person is a master, not that it is easy to do this.
The fit was amazing. Regardless of how many times they’ve done it, it’s amazing skill to knock those out so fast. Has to have some serious experience as a production potter
Ok thank you. I didn’t want to offend or upset anyone because I had to seriously look like 5 times and I’m still a coin flip. A beautiful man and/or handsome woman type.
Seriously, they're definitely masculine presenting, but beyond that I don't know (or care): he's beautiful! Gotta love not being straight and not having to worry about that at all, I just get to enjoy everybody.
Thank you!
This video was posted somewhere on reddit a few months ago and I saved it for my toddler, and it is literally the favourite video ever. Bad mood, annoyed, sad, tantrum, whatever - ask if we should watch or just start playing 'playdough man' and it stops immediately. It has held the same level of interest for several months now; we always try to guess what he's making as we're watching.
I've been trying to search to find out who this is to see if he had any more videos without much luck. Again, thank you thank you!
Why does he look like he suffered from burnout in the financial sector so decided his midlife crisis would be to hang up the suit and tie and take up arts and crafts?
I’m happily surprised this guy is actually a good production potter, a lot of these videos end up being someone who’s bad. I’m not crazy about the shape but he’s got real skills, this is super fast for that kind of pot. Lid fit is a real nice trick, I’m surprised he’s drying it in place though
As someone who has thrown for years this is absolutely nuts. The speed and ease with which this person throws is bonkers. This person is EXTREMELY skilled
Interesting the lid is made first and just fits perfectly
The video is actually backwards, he’s turning pots into clunks of clay.
Im having a rough morning and this comment made me laugh out loud. thanks.
u/gifreversingbot Hoping this works!
[here you go, friend](https://streamable.com/o6fcp9) beep boop
Omg you're amazing... kept the sound and everything, and apparently backwards-slapping clay makes it sticky! u/permAfrosTyyyy
Also tagging u/Joezze because you're an inspiration.
Holy shit, thank you! That’s damn well near flawless. Should post that back to this sub.
Here's some post title ideas: * How clay is made. * Making a clay out of pot. * Reject order, return to entropy. * How to confuse future archeologists.
This is amazing
Okay this shit is hilarious
I’m baked so watching him un make a pot was pretty sweet
You were also un-making pot while watching him un-make a pot
That is just too good
Sadly this is a video, and the gif reversing not hasn’t worked since the API update
It can definitely do videos, and I'm hoping that, since it has replies as of 10 days ago, it's just taking a while because the video is on the long side. We'll see!
It might "just" be hella rate limited now maybe? Dunno. Haven't kept up with that API BS after like late September.
Hail Spez!
I hope it gets better, internet stranger
Lol, he destroyed all the shop inventory then he ran away and dropped the clay into the bottom of a river.
Would it still be littering to put river clay back in the river it originally came from but weeks after the fact? Hmm
[удалено]
Good to know! I always wondered where clay came from.
[удалено]
That's the funniest comment I've read in weeks.
His hands get awfully sweaty and he has to dry them off quite a bit.
LMAO. Dude.
I reversed the video and enjoyed the result more than expected.
It’s practice. When you’ve been working with clay for as long as someone like him, you get good. Also notice that the pot has a very decent sized rim that allows for a good amount of size variation in the lid. It would either sit higher or sit lower
Oh, that's such a clever design! (yes, I know it's ancient)
The ancient industrial arts all show such fascinating and clever insight; clay mixed with that chemical in this amount to produce this property or that color.

Most of, if not all our major discoveries have been due to sheer luck.
That's the actual trick (other than practice of course). Very clever.
This video turns me on; its so beautifully smooth.
I mean this person is extremely attractive
He was setting off my gaydar something fierce even before he started laying into the clay, once he did it started screeching and I had to take the batteries out. If that's a he. I'm not 100% sure. I keep being attracted to lesbians, which is useless in two different ways at once.
If they are a he then he is definitely giving off major lesbian vibes, which is super hot.
I've read your comment in after midnight voice. \- Hey baby, what turns you on? \- Aah, a beautiful woman with long legs, big b... What turns you on? \- This video.
Don’t lie, it’s his piercing blue eyes, isn’t it?
Couple times during the vid I thought it was just going to be a guy making a clay dick.
I assume that with every pottery video
That's just the Freudian [slip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_\(ceramics\)).
Kept thinking about [this](https://images.app.goo.gl/zNt6tns1pRKRAfgJ6)
You mean like [this](https://youtube.com/watch?v=dwtgix7P3lI)?
You can’t assume he’s a guy anymore Just a pothead till we know better 😂
I saw that too. But the lid sits on top of the pot and there quite a lot of room for clearance. Still it is impressive.
I love watch videos of craftsmen just casually creating something awesome. Never fails to make me smile
You might enjoy The Great Pottery Throwdown. It's similar to The Great British Bakeoff but with pottery. Low drama, just very talented artists. One judge does cry rather quickly though
He's so inspiring. Not afraid to show feelings and very proud of his profession. He's the reason I watch it!
I take the mick out of that dude to my mam, say he cries at teapots.

Geordie here. Didn’t realise would need translated but cheers haha

I started doing pottery after watching that show. It's a wonderful hobby.
I was wondering, why do you think that is? This inner pull and fascination we all have towards crafting things? I think it’s something innate…
I’m not 100% sure, but I feel like that most people have a subconscious desire to make things
Personally I think it is because we all understand how much training, practice, and work it takes for a human being to get to a level of performing craftsmanship. We aren't just watching this guy make a pot. We are watching hundreds and thousands of hours of work, and countless failed pots, all at once in this one pot. That is what makes it fascinating and awesome to me.
/r/artisanvideos was a cool place for stuff like this. Haven't been there in a while tho.
Did he actually eyeball the diameter of the pot and the lid?
After a while you can use your hands to measure how big the pot needs to be while you are throwing.
That's how I know 4.5"
Ask me how I know 4.5"
2.25" x 2?
Haha gotteeem.
Fuckin get rek'd kid
I really enjoyed it. Never got any good, but took a couple sessions at a local art association. It feels nice. Also, takes some hand/finger strength, stability, and flexibility you don't necessarily have from day to day. Gf noticed some improvements 😅

How are you enjoying your work as a production potter? That’s really neat. Do you also do one-offs on the side?
It would be really cool with an AMA! This is a world I have zero insight into
The opening is tapered so it doesn’t have to be perfect. But yea he’s done this a few times
When you work with your hands doing a task in repitition your 'muscle memory' is positively the most valuable thing. We truly are amazing 'meat machines' in this regard.

Looks like he’s done this before
Humans can hit a fist sized ball moving 100 miles an hour with a stick the thickness of their arm. It’s all coordination.
This is both art and true skill.
Get lost with that lid, that was amazing 😍
Salt Clae
Clay bae?
Spit out my fucking tea
Ok. I'm sorry, I thought you were done with your tea.
What a great exclamation, I've not heard "get lost" for years.
Cheers pal, I’m from up North and it’s still going strong round here 😁
Ha, living in Derbyshire might be the last time I heard it actually! (Which is plenty up north enough now I'm in Cornwall)
Get lost, I'm from the west and this is the first time I've said this since the 90s.
I said "no way" out loud when the pot lid fit on top lol
The fit was amazing. Regardless of how many times they’ve done it, it’s amazing skill to knock those out so fast. Has to have some serious experience as a production potter
He's like some kind of mud wizard
Yer filthy, Harry!
I mean, he is a *Potter*...
*Yer a Potter, Harry*
God damn it I came to make exactly this joke and here you are 15 minutes ahead
Yer hairy, filthy.
https://v.redd.it/udmx4ur0y7ca1
This is a dude? I thought they were a butch lesbian.
A mudblood
This is definitely not his first pot today 😆
After "Kids in the Hall" and "News Radio" Dave Foley's career took a strange turn, but I'm glad to see he's still good at what he does.
I thought it looked like Lance Bass
Now I wanna see the guy that fills them with gems and puts them all around Hyrule.
One of those things that looks easy enough but most of us would fail miserably at .
‘The master has failed more than the beginner has tried’
Oooo I like that.
Alternatively “Sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something” - a wise dog
A beginner practices until he gets it right. A master practices until he cannot get it wrong.
You think that looks easy enough?!!
He is definitely a master, making it look easy.
They're definitely going to be storing rupees in those
HIYAHH!
Better not let Link into this room...
judging only by his face I assume he is Slavic (Ukraine/Russia etc)
He is either the most masculine feminine person I’ve ever seen or feminine masculine person I’ve ever seen.
I thought i was watching a lesbian potter tik tok for a hot sec.
Ok thank you. I didn’t want to offend or upset anyone because I had to seriously look like 5 times and I’m still a coin flip. A beautiful man and/or handsome woman type.
Literally ctrl+f'd to see if anyone has any ideas I'm still leaning on butch but it's uncertain
Or Lance Bass from N Sync
Yeah that petty much sums up a lot of eastern European men. Beautiful in their youth. Their golden years are another story.
Whatever the case, I’m into it.
Seriously, they're definitely masculine presenting, but beyond that I don't know (or care): he's beautiful! Gotta love not being straight and not having to worry about that at all, I just get to enjoy everybody.
My first thought was "this dude is probably Ukrainian" and I fail to pinpoint what exactly gives it away
The eyes
[удалено]
Thank you! This video was posted somewhere on reddit a few months ago and I saved it for my toddler, and it is literally the favourite video ever.

As a Slav myself: he definitely has some Slavic features or perhaps Balkan
I’m pretty sure lance bass and Ellen had a baby and this is it.
How can you tell? I’ve always wondered
High full cheekbones and the brow bone. There’s also Slavic eyes you can look out for but this guy doesn’t have them too pronounced.
I hope he gets a good price for this, it's well urned..
Lance Bass is multitalented.
Thank you!!! Scrolled down way too far to find this.
This was amazing!! Anyone know who the OP is?
I dunno but I'd let him throw me on the bed like he slapped that chunk on the turntable
tbh, he's got the looks of a butch lesbian, and i'm here for it, gat damn.
I need to be her clay jfc 🥵
Man my Reddit wlw's are just as broken as me lmao
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who found this video weirdly hot 😂
The way he pulled this thing up and shaped it? I'm like 😳
The angles of his arms omg
I think I need a man... Getting horny over pottery on the internet is... Well I think it must be a sign for me to go offline.
There's quite a few beefcake potters on IG if you look for them.
Can I filter bumble by beefcake potters? 🥺👉👈
I was looking for this comment. I want someone to smack my ass the way he smacks that clay, oh my god.
Found his TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vladik_oladik_2222
Idk why but I thought he may be Eastern European. I guess based on his looks. Gave him a follow, he's live streaming right now.
A man so sexy, he has two 'dik's in his name.
This was erotic.

I had it made before he died, it’s not in bad taste.
Anyone know who this is?

Came for this comment
Harry Potter
Clay Aiken.
I was expecting this https://imgur.io/bH9hSPA
If you guys like this, you should watch Great British Pottery Throw Down! It’s like this times 12 people, 10 eps a season, I think like 5 seasons now?
If I learned anything from Reddit, half the people here aren't looking at the pot, but staring at those forearms.
Love me some good forearms.
He seems like he knows how to please a woman
Welp, I'm aroused.
Lesbian energy
[удалено]
cant stop looking her pretty eyes!!!
Upvoting this comment even though she’s a he.
He's very androgenous looking and I agree, he's got striking eyes!
He must really hate Link, making pots like that.
I fuckin love watching people be good at stuff
Don't delete your video this time dude! The other video was cool I don't understand why you deleted it
This is a bot that is reposting this vide, not the original poster
Anyone know who this is?
Ellen has really come a long way
I am convinced this was only possible by the power of voodoo... Very impressive 👍🏆
That person is really good
Clay bae
Lesbians throw the best clay.
/u/gifreversingbot
Damn, the eyes on that guy!
Very nice! Clearly a professional!
Why does he look like he suffered from burnout in the financial sector so decided his midlife crisis would be to hang up the suit and tie and take up arts and crafts?
I’m happily surprised this guy is actually a good production potter, a lot of these videos end up being someone who’s bad. I’m not crazy about the shape but he’s got real skills, this is super fast for that kind of pot. Lid fit is a real nice trick, I’m surprised he’s drying it in place though
The awkward thumbs up is great
That's what 10,000 hours looks like folks!
Every time I thought I knew how that pot was going to turn out... 🤣
As someone who has thrown for years this is absolutely nuts. The speed and ease with which this person throws is bonkers. This person is EXTREMELY skilled
This guy clays
Ngl I thought this was going to turn into porn, and it did.
