Using Butter to Make Better Spouts
Using Butter to Make Better Spouts
This week’s YouTube video is all about making spouts. From pulling them in various styles, how to fix certain errors, good practice methods and even how you can use butter to make vessels pour better, (in dire situations, it isn’t permanent). I hope this film is helpful and if you have any spout pulling advice please let me know in the…

One question – I don’t really understand how you trim these vessels. You put the spout in and then the next day you trim, but then how do you make the line clean?
Very helpful. I'm going to try the different ways tomorrow!
😂just here for the fingerings comments😂
My goodness. The stamina.
This video was unexpectedly se*ual 😅
OMG!This was so helpful and educational. I was making spouts completely wrong and my liquids always dribbled all over the place. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love this video. And the butter trick came just in the nick of time. A little cream pourer that just came out of the kiln was dribbling. I applied a minuscule amount of butter (less than you did) and it poured perfectly. Pot saved. My question: how on earth did you figure that out?
I'm kinda curious how you'd go about making a gaiwan
動画ありがとうございました。
Maybe bees wax instead of butter? Bees wax doesn’t wash away if you use cold to lukewarm water.. perhaps it works?
But how do I make a spouse? That's the real question I can't find an answer to.
there are basically three things that decide if it pour well. it's the fluid velocity as it exits the spout, the angle of the spout compared to gravity, and the sharpness of the edge. sharp doesent nessecarily mean thin here, just that the radius at the last edge the water sees is pretty small. the length of the spout is increasing the velocity, which also improves pourability. if the spout curves out it will also have a lesser angle relative to gravity at the end, which means less of an assist for the water to get around the edge and cling to the wall.
After long time seeing my favourite video. Hello Florian Gadsby!!!!
Butter. You say. <checks date the video posted, in case it was April 1st>
1:40 <checks date again, just in case> Well now you're just pulling my …spout…
You can use butter to make better sprouts too.
I love watching your video Thank you for sharing them with us 💙
My ceramics instructor taught us to move the wet finger in a side to side motion or a twisting motion while applying pressure between to two dry fingers. I feel it was less likely to tear that way.
For a more permanent hydrophobic solution, there are hydrophobic coatings that you could just apply on the outside of a given put. Might also make them easier to rinse as any dirt would likely be carried away with the water and also not stick very strongly to the hydrophobic coating
Wow… thank you, Florian – this is next level informative! 😵❤️
Very nice video. I have such a hard time getting a nice pouring spout. Love the butter trick and I'm glad you touched on the handle placement of the one jug. I believe a lot of people make handles too high and too roomy on pitchers especially. Really thinking about the center of gravity and how much room is needed for your fingers is key for handles on pouring vessels as well as on mugs.
Nice share. Thanks !
Great video as always – any tips on trimming a bowl with a spout?
Florian's sexiest video yet
You would be a wizard in a cheese shop
Thanks for all the tips! I really liked the spout made with a half cylinder. It reminds me of some fountains/wellsprings (sorry, I don't know the exact word) made with bamboo in some oriental gardens. Again, thanks!!
Maybe beeswax? its a little more durable than butter but will probably need to be refreshed every so often.
I like the half cut tube spout, it was a lot different from the rest and stood out.
Maybe automotive ceramic coatings would be a "permanent butter". Or high temperature waxes – they won't wash off as quickly.
You can improve the dribble performance of a spout by making the angle, in cross section, of the outermost portion of the spout closer to horizontal. This ensures that when you’re pouring, the water would have to move upwards to continue along the outside surface of the spout. I think this is why the last pot performs so well: it looks like the lip of the spout turns a little bit downward at the very tip. That, combined with the sharp edge, forces the stream of water to break away from the outer surface of the spout.
Thank you, Florian! Spouts have been challenging for me. Your tutorial is very informative.
04:10 it's a little bear 😭 so cute!!
Definitely an innuendo in there somewhere, I just can’t put my finger on it. 😂 love your videos man!
I really like the last one.
One day I'll have one❤
I love these tutorial videos, they really make your expertise shine through. Even in practices you're not too familiar with, being an expert still allows you to approach the problems you encounter effectively. I have a question, though: are spouts such as those seen on plastic jugs (such as the one you use in this video) possible on pots? I think they could look interesting on your pots, seeing as they're angled and sharp.
I wonder there is a glaze that you could apply to the bottom of the lip such that it mimics the properties of butter. Something that you could brush on after the majority of glaze has been applied
Thank you for sharing your techniques!
Tutorial? How many of yall don't even touch clay
