About the World Record Planters
Our Guinness World Record Planters were part of a truly incredible, athletic feat. All 159 pots were thrown on a kick-wheel consecutively for one hour, requiring each pot to be made faster than every 24 seconds! This is a massive accomplishment. It beat the previous record holder, who used an electric-powered wheel, by 9 pots. The record took months of full-time physical and mental training for Joel to achieve, but that hard work paid off in making art history.
- Official Record: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-pots-thrown-in-1-hour-by-an-individual
- Joel beat the previous record of 150 pots, throwing 159 pots in one hour.
- Joel used a traditional Japanese style kick wheel, instead of electric, motorized wheels used by previous record holders.
- Joel broke the record at 28 years old after spending over 10,000 hours practicing his pottery craft.
- Guinness World Records required that the pot be a planter with specific size and weight specifications.
- Over 350 pounds of Stoneware clay were prepared by Joel the day of the record, weighed into 2lb. clay balls.
- The event took place at Joel’s alma mater: St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota, US.
- Joel is a full-time potter who makes art to inspire people globally to attempt and achieve great goals.
- Joel finished all planters by numbering them #1-#159, creating trays and firing them so each planter is functional.
- The planters are made from completely raw materials to give you a planter that is both one of a kind and officially sanctioned by GWR.
- Planters come in 4 styles that were each specially glazed and fired: wood fired, nuka iron, nuka cobalt, and cosmic glaze.
