The Ceramics series Produced by the BBC in collaboration with the V&A is absolutely worth a watch, I think it will only be up on iPlayer for 4 more days or so so hurry . This final Episode is filled with extraordinary charm. Everyone has such tenderness for the heritage of pottery as a british tradition, and they have a century-long overview of the fashions and canons in ceramics that starts in the industrial revolution, which saw a decimation of the hand-thrown pot industry, through to contemporary ceramicists. In keeping with my new obsession (BBC screengrabbing), I've uploaded images of some of the more delicious and poignant moments.
