This is a short clip with Michael Cardew, but one of my favorites ! I love his easy manner and chattiness !
He was my grandfathers first student at the St Ives Pottery, Cornwall, England in 1923.
Many people have been influenced by his work.
I knew Seth Cardew, his son from Spain days, he came out and started a pottery just down the road from me.
Seth passed last year unfortunately, I was hoping to get back over to Spain and see him.

Great video. What a character Michael seems like! He was 81 ( I believe he said) in the documentary and was the documentary made in 1984?
