content: Edited film: clay is cut, transported to Ochtrup, and stored in a bricklined pit to "soak." Before processing it is kneaded mechanically and then by hand. A master potter shapes a plate and a jug; both are primed, coated with paint and glazed. The film also shows the manufacture of "Ochtrup Nightingales," which are small clay warbler whistles, as well as the baking of earthenware in an electric kiln.
