Rare to find a potter-at-work documentary that is this wonderful.

National Museum of Natural History
“ When making a pot, you must listen to the Earth, and the clay will speak to you, and you must simply let the clay guide the shape the pot will become. The clay is alive. The clay will guide your hands. You must never go against the will of the clay, which is ultimately the will of the earth, and the path to happiness.” -Potter, Julian Martinez, of San Ildefonso Pueblo, the patriarch of the most important family of Native American artisans in the United States.
