We (Patty and Morty) were riveted by this 44 minute video that documents the dexterity of Isaac Button, a country potter, and we wanted to pass this piece of history along. Isaac Button retired in 1965 just a few months after the last segment of the movie was filmed. He died in 1969 -- one of the last masters of this difficult craft. If you are an aspiring or accomplished potter, a teacher of art and crafts or interested in history of ceramics - this movie is a "must see".
