Four scenes from the daily work of traditional rural craftsmen. Filmed in Onda
at the workshop of Kumao Ohta, and Koishibara at the workshop of Shigeki Sakamoto.
"'Potters at Work' is a film as balanced as the craft itself. Working with
tact and affection, refusing such easy and approximate aids as commentary and
music, creating from the pattern of the potting a cinematic rhythm of his own,
Gross has captured and made visible the reality of the work itself."—Donald
Richie
"...the viewer becomes a witness, not to an investigation of the ways of
clay within a primitive society, but rather to the ways of pageantry within the
commonplace."—Craft Horizons |
