Mr Issac Button - Traditional English Potter

In my previous post, I described the use of a contemporary method of removing water from slip to make plastic clay. To compare my methods with a traditional process—I found on Youtube English slipware potter Issac Button, whose mastery of the craft is astonishing. Comparing his method to mine is thought provoking with regard to my much more complicated solutions. Perhaps Wordsworth's wisdom illuminates the relative poverty of our approach—"Getting and spending we lay waste our powers." However you parse it—my small skills evaporate in comparison with Mr Button.
