Isaac Button - Country Potter (Extract)

this guy is rape shiting out pots like its nothing and so fast

Just beautiful to watch!

the life of a potter is a hard life. Isaac is awesome!

Fantastic. If we really had any sort of respect for this stuff then IP would be some sort of national treasure and all school kids would be shown this film on national IP day.
The music is beautifully judged as well.
I'm not sue about some of the music credits though. The Swan is Saint Saens and I think that the second piece is Vaughn Williams.
Thanks Rich

I love that he is throwing with a shirt and tie! Not something that one sees very often among us scruffy potters nowadays....I wonder what the little cylinders were going to be used for...anyone knows? Thanks for posting this video, it's great!

Hi!
I'm a pottery teacher/studio technician in Coquitlam, BC, Canada. I've been watching the Isaac Button video over and over! I can't watch it enough. I've sent my students the YouTube link and they too are, of course, amazed. I would absolutely love to get more information on Isaac Button and Soil Hill. Any information would be very much appreciated!

Thanks j... My pottery tutor who had been the thrower at Grassington Pottery gave me a large shell calendar colour picture of IB which i still have. I'd love to learn more about IB + family.
