I REALLY like "Celebrating the Cycle: The Wood Fired Pottery of Matt Jones". You can find it on his website: http://www.jonespottery.com/ or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=592&item=3749948855&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
I bought my copy on EBAY from his brother, It worked out a little cheaper on Ebay than from his website. He starts the video at mixing clay and goes right through the process to unloading the kiln. Great video.

Are there any good videotapes (or, well, for that

informative basis, how one goes about doing
ceramics and using a woodfired kiln? Something
I could show people who don't know pottery
what goes on so they will know what's going on?
(I"m thinking along the lines of public education
rather than the kind of thing you'd show first-
semester ceramics students, if such things exist.)

Ted,
Several years ago I picked up a copy of a video made by Dan Anderson. =
It has a lot of good footage of both Dan's work and the wood kiln =
firing. I must caution you about one shot of his big...uh...posterior =
coming out of the kiln!!! I can always count on that clip getting a =
reaction from my students. I think it is sold through the Southern =
Illinois University Edwardsville Foundation. =20
