How uplifting to see artisans still keeping with tradition. I was blessed to have an opportunity to view this magnificent video. Thank you! :)
This is one of the finest documentaries of work that I have ever seen.
This is really amazing: the potters' techniques, their flow, their pride, their experience,their confidence just blow my socks off. Everyone should take a look as pottery is a part of everybody's life.

Fabulous inspiration. I've been a classically trained potter throwing for 45 years and watching these techniques and designs is providing another few years of ideas. Thank you.
I've gone from watching people grow pot, to people making pots! WOOOOOO
+john papple I started at the people making pots, I'll move to growing it next! 420!

He makes it look easy. Serious hand skills.
This guy is amazing. Those pots are huge and he makes it look easy. Throwing small pieces with that amount of speed is difficult. The things he's doing may not look very hard, but the steadiness and attention to the thickness as he goes along must take an immense amount of concentration.
This is incredible. The skill to make these pots consistently the same shape and size is true craftsmanship. ❤️
i am addicted to terra cotta and architectural ornamentation. glad to find this!!!
Wow... I could easily have spent a lifetime working in a place like this.. such lovely people and a beautiful place
Ok, throwing that magnificent pot was frighteningly efficient, with the set number of movements. Mercy!
I have never seen a pot thrown so effortlessly... efficient is right! This was so lovely and inspiring to watch :)
It looks effortless and easy because of years and years of practice.
Don't know how I got here but I'm glad I did, stunning English craftsmanship.
Fantastic video of true craftsmanship! I could watch these people make pottery for hours!
What a fine tradition to be a part of. Craftsmanship elevates us from just surviving to thriving.
The best thing about working with clay, I think, is the fact the very same techniques are used as have always been. Ultimately though, it is about truly working with your hands and the clay, working by touch. I wish I had started this straight from school, instead of learning about it in my 50’s. Just wonderful!
This video is impressive! It does an excellent job of showing the artistry and skill that goes into the pots. Oh. I forgot to mention science! Amazing!
Many thanks for putting together such an accessible, informative, and interesting presentation.
A video I could watch over and over. Congratulations to everyone involved with its production. Excellent.
Thank you for this eye opening video I tend to forget the value of terra-cotta wear in our everyday lives. You have taken the functional aspect of it to a higher level and once again made me appreciate low fired wares.Such simple yet amazing techniques for decorating that make for the classiest final pieces. I also have to add... you guys can throw your arses off, very impressed indeed.
When I see these people and how absolutely free of stress they are, I’m green with envy.
Absolutely beautiful work, fun, whimsical, gorgeous!
WOW! What an incredible operation. Hats off to you.
What a brilliant film! Start to finish. So beautiful! Oh how I wish I could go!
Wow! I have a huge new respect for terra cotta pots and what goes into them. Excellent video and now I know I should have started pottery when I started having kids and I would be a potter by now! Well, only 15 years to go.
Amazing how you do this. Nice to see someone doing things with their hands. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, I'm impressed. Well, the sheer skill of trained potters is always impressive. It's so hard to attain it. And I'm also impressed at an Englishman wearing a Spanish-style beret, so cute. lol Also, very impressed that your clay body is pure clay, with no additions whatsoever.
Mastery at it's best! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful video! Thank you! Gives me the desire to make my pottery more decorative than just a basic, smooth pot!
Я в восторге от этого фильма !!!
Немного проясню почему я в восторге. Вот чем мне нравятся американцы так это тем если они что то создали и это у них получается на высоком, профессиональном уровне то они умеют своё детище правильно и со вкусом преподнести.
Чего я не могу сказать это про нас, белорусов. У нас в Белоруссии НЕ принято показывать своё производство "на показ"...
По многим причинам, если показать производство на всеобщий показ то гордится по сути будет нечем. То что можно выставить на показ, что бы это смогли увидеть массы народа, увы, можно пересчитать на пальцах обеих рук.
Спасибо за прекрасный фильм !!! Я много для себя почерпнул в плане гончарных хитростей.
Great video, love the simplicity of plant pots.
I lived in Oxford for many years and wish I had had a chance to visit - great work and thank you for your excellent video
Awesome first time I saw completely how to do this . I enjoyed every moment of it
dude its soo cool seeing how they process the raw clay. That screen pressing method is amazing. I loved seeing the clean clay sheets just peel off the screens.
Its nice to see that English people will still buy locally made terracotta pots.
I could watch this all day and night...anyone in Australia offering potter apprenterships ?
Fantastic... love it. Studied Pottery from 1998 til 2004... still in love with the possibilities. Doing some slip trailing on plates and platters. So satisfying. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from New Zealand.
Wow! That's really something. Fascinating! Love it ... thank you.
What a fantastic place I really hope you are still operating and employing potters - what fantastic works of artisanship.
This was really new to me! I enjoyed watching this video and got a chance to have a clue how pottery works. Superb! Thankyou for this video.
Amazing Video. Thanks for sharing!! I may never get the chance to do it myself but just looking at it being done is so amazing!
wow i have just started throwing, i have learnt so much from this.
These potters are phenomenal! I love throwing pots and making ceramics in general. In 6 years I have never touched terra-cotta... I think it's time to try something new :)
Such a wonderful, honest, passionate video! Just lovely! Will visit for sure when it’s safe to travel, have been a potter for over 20 years, watched countless videos, yours is among the best by far, thank you kindly, stay safe🌾🌺🌸🌼🌿🌻🤓
So awesome. I love the pug mill, pastry and the sprigs, do another one!
Incredibly talented potters !
Out of the world..👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻..... throwing pots is very satisfying.... used to enjoy doing it.
brings back fond memories of working with terracotta.
Wow, I really appreciated this video. Thanks for taking the time to produce it.

MA MAN

wow. that is some serious pot throwing! thanks for the upload!
:)
Thank you for sharing. You all do an amazing job
🙏🙌🙏
Speaking of perennial favorites, this video is one of mine.
I’m salivating over these pots! ❤️❤️❤️
Man, I thought I was good, but these people are on another level.
You haven't seen Korean Icheon pottery then my friend. You will call these people gross after watching them.
amazing!
so nice to see there are still handmade products
so beautifull made by skillful potters
Spectacular! As an amateur potter myself, I loved the (after years of experience) effortless technique. It seems magical, but I know it's built on thousands of pounds thrown.
I learned throwing from a man who, in turn, had learned his craft in a century old production pottery in east Texas. When he worked throwing larger pots from 25 lbs. or more of clay, he'd finish four or more an hour, and so doing threw over 1,000 lbs. of clay into pottery. That amounts to making several hundred thousand pounds of clay into pots in a year with your hands. That's just insane.
You guys make pots with such ease. I wish I could do the same.
I really enjoyed this video, I've always been interested in how pottery is made, Ive never tried it my self and you guys makes it look so easy! and your pots are amazing as well :-)
I enjoyed this from beginning to end. thanks for this video.
Love it all. Thanks for the upload
Thanks for sharing this video, God bless you, is beautiful
Amazing work
I have ordered my first pit through White Flower Farm. It arrives today… can’t wait!
Wish I were close enough to visit. Greetings from USA!
Beautiful, beautiful and creative work
This video never ceases to amaze me. I wish I could throw like the guy in the beret did. I feel like if I can do that then there wouldn't be anything I couldn't make! It only took him about 3 and a half minutes to make that. It would probably take me closer to 3 and a half decades to be able throw 14 pounds and get the wall thickness perfectly even. I guess I need to find a mentor.
Amazing good work, and the video is so 'tightly' made, it just keeps moving!
Amazing skills, beautiful video, well done!
Wow what a magical fingers beautiful I always loved pottery .
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge

Great video Im a potter and I am truly inspired by you lovely video and beautiful pots thank you
It's cool to think how important pottery in general was to human civilization's development. We built ovens, granaries and most of our containers out of this same material for millennia.
What a beautiful 💓 treat this video was.
Beautiful!
