Review this video!
This inspirational video is exquisitely produced and directed. Covering the entire process of creating wood-fired pottery Matt Jones takes viewers on a visual and intellectual tour of his techniques and processes. From digging clay and mixing and preparing the materials to cutting and preparing the wood, the viewers are reminded of the attention to detail that must be kept at each critical step. Matt Jones takes viewers through glazing and finishing, and even how he makes his really big pots. He presents a visual description of his wood kiln and the various chambers and why he loads different pieces in each area for maximum effect. Viewers will be struck by the precision stoking of wood and the careful monitoring of the cones and the pyrometer as he slowly brings the kiln to temperature before the final salting of the kiln. After the kiln is cooled, we watch Matt Jones as he unloads, cleans and displays his finished pots.
If you are a potter and you are the least bit interested in wood fired pottery, or you are a collector or teacher, this is a quintessential video to have in your collection.

This isn't a training or technique video, but it's beautiful to watch. The video is very well produced and is an inspiring look at the entire cycle of a wood-firing. The huge walk-in kiln is amazing!
