Something I send my students at the start of every session is a document full of all my favorite pottery resources. It contains my favorite videos from Youtube, and I add to it periodically. Some videos are instructional, some videos are inspirational, and some are about pottery history. I thought it would be good to share it here as well. It is by no means a full list of every useful video, but I think it's a great place to start, and I hope you enjoy! Most of the people on this list have other social media that they sometimes post to, but this links to all Youtube videos specifically.
My Favorite Pottery Resources
Compiled by Lela of Now What?! Pottery Works ( This list will update periodically and we’ll add more videos to the list
There are so many different places to find excellent tips on pretty much every step of the pottery process, and here are some of my favorites. Youtube, Tiktok, and Instagram are all fantastic. So many experienced potters share their tips, tricks, and tutorials.
Some specific channels specifically for throwing tips.
Florian Gadsby- Florian Gadsby - YouTube
This channel has incredibly well filmed and well narrated videos on making. His throwing basics series is fantastic, and so are his wedging videos.
Ingleton Pottery- https://www.youtube.com/@IngletonPottery
Another fantastic channel that shows a few different styles and throwing basics. His throwing basics videos are fairly old, but still great.
Hsinchuen Lin- Hsinchuen Lin - YouTube
Fantastic throwing videos with multiple different angles while throwing the same pot. His videos can be very helpful to see the way your hands can be placed, and he shows tons of different forms.
Youtube is also full of pottery history videos, and here are some of my favorite for inspiration.
