Wait! This is the only comment Alan Walker ever did from this account 😱😱😱
This is so soothing. Artists like these are unique, and so talented, it’s amazing.
And to think I can’t even draw a straight line without using a ruler… These guys are masters. One false move and everything was for naught. I have so much respect for people like them 🙂
@BTDarters Channel Thanks and understood dear
@X pakistani Person No problem.
sebbe44441 A low tolerance to mistakes is true for a lot of crafts. As others mentioned pottery allows for fixes.
@M H But the only “fix” of a mistake after firing is to break the pot.
A master can take a false move and make it beautiful. 🙂 I agree, made respect for this level of craftsmanship
Such amazing works of art!! My question through the whole thing was How long did it take to make those amazing creations? It would of taken me days to make such fine art.
see these master doing their work is just like therapy.. so relax and calm.. love it
This is one of the most relaxing and beautiful videos ever made. I come back to it every few weeks to calm down, especially because of the amazing music that has that beautiful melancholic vibe to it. Astonishing work and complete beauty!
Patrick Lenk Music the same ! I love it !
I come here every little while to watch these amazing masters at work while listening to the soothing piano. Such a satisfying video, and such talent by there masters.
The art and beauty of creating by hand is always amazing.

C’est magnifique ! Je suis émue par vous, par votre art. Merci
Siempre estará presente en nuestra vida este bello hacer ancestral, acompañándonos, bien como utencilios doméstico o como refinadas e inspiradoras piezas de arte, por mor de talentosos maestros que saben elevar esa rudimentaria materia – la arcilla – a la categoria de elemento-soporte de la expresión de ensueños del alma humana. Gracias 👌 👍 🇪🇸

I recently picked up pottery, I’m also a calligrapher. This video was inspirational. Wow! Thank you for sharing!
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT WORK AMAZINGLY TALENTED MEN!
This art touched my sole… can’t explain in words about this talent ❤️
The beauty of watching the clay being molded was so smooth and satisfying, but the later decorations were simply amazing. The practice that these ceramic masters have is astounding. One wrong move and they have to start over. One question I have is how much all this equipment costed?
