Monty Don's whole Real Craft series has been fantastic but of course here at the CCC we've found the pottery one most interesting.
It's well worth a watch:
Monty Don's Real Craft - Pottery
I feel for those potters struggling with the fickle whims of the kiln.
I especially enjoyed seeing Monty Don having a go at slip casting since that is the CCC's main area of ceramics.
I think slip casting is often thought of as being easier and less hand crafted than thrown ceramics, but even that tiny glimpse into slip casting shows you it still takes a great deal of skill.
And that didn't even show the process of making the slip mould! (Something I shall be documenting here so keep your eyes peeled for that. ;))
