Clay From Fife
A quirky wee film showing how we dig and process our local clay from near St Andrews. Watch out for the little historical references to Bernard Leach and the clay mixing paddle he drew in A Potter's Book, and the sieve based on the one Isaac Button uses in the film Isaac Button Country Potter.

Earth Power And How It Is Being Harnessed (1933)
In many parts of the world volcanic power and heat lies waiting to be utilised by man... L/S of group of men walking past a steam jet which is coming out of a rock face. C/U of a small stream that has steam rising from it. The men drop their hats over a jet of steam and they hover over it for a few seconds. M/S of a man stoking one of the holes from which steam is rising.
The engineers predict enough high-pressure steam to generate a million horsepower through man-made safety valves... L/S of a valve through which steam emerges. A man holds his jacket in the steam and then lets go, the force of the steam sends it flying through the air. He drops various things in the path of the steam and they all fly away. He holds a plank of wood - which he possibly is about to let go but film ends before we can see it.

I Don't Mind Art Being UGLY: Jonathan Wade
Jonathan Wade, a contemporary ceramist based in Glasgow, finds beauty and inspiration from the intervention of nature on our modern world – unplanned architecture and objects without design as he calls it. The aesthetics of his works are often beyond the conventional; sometimes he prefers them to be ugly.

JOHN MAGUIRE & BILL BROWN ceramics exhibition
John Maguire and Bill Brown exhibiting their new ceramics at The Barony Centre, West Kilbride, Scotland 15 February - 13 April 2014
The title is a 'tongue in cheek' reference to 1980's TV Series 'Brideshead Revisited' but flags up a long association with ceramic production in Barrhead - namely Barrhead Sanitary Ware Limited, which was established over a century ago. Bill Brown and John Maguire now work from a studio near Barrhead.
JOHN MAGUIRE has been involved with Ceramics full-time since 1986. He has taken part in over 100 exhibitions and has experience teaching in Art Colleges and schools including time spent as a Visiting Lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design and Edinburgh College of Art.
Best known for wheel-thrown pots, recent commissions have seen him produce his distinctive flower-shaped Urinals and Wash Hand Basins for Dobbies/Tesco UK Garden Centres.
John has also undertaken private commissions such as the production of exclusive tableware for Andrew Fairlie @ Gleneagles Restaurant.
BILL BROWN has been working full-time in ceramics since graduating from college in 1974, and as well as being a designer and maker he has been involved in teaching in a number of art colleges, finally retiring from full-time teaching in 2011 after 25 years as a lecturer at Glasgow School of Art.
Bill has specialised for a number of years in the techniques of casting and ceramic printmaking and has exhibited widely in Europe, Australia and USA as well as in Britain. He has also undertaken a number of commissions for architectural ceramics.
'Ceramics is unique as an art-form', says Bill. 'Ceramists are defined by the material rather than a particular kind of product and we can explore all the many different areas within it; one-off pieces, tableware, tiles, sanitary ware, sculpture -- the possibilities are endless and the great thing is that providing no-one drops them the pieces will still look as fresh in a thousand years as they do now. Potters always have the last laugh.

Episode 1 - Tinky.com ART AND DESIGN WORLD - Power of Making, Arts and Crafts, Hickson, Pilkington
Visit Tinky.com
Sponsored by RELIQE RELIQE.com
In Episode 1 of Tinky.com ART AND DESIGN WORLD we travel up and down the length of England beginning with the Power of Making Exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, and contrast it with the Arts and Crafts Permanent Collection. Next we visit with painter Charles Hickson at Arley Hall in Cheshire. Finally, we explore the Pilkington Exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery, which is also hosting a Ford Madox Brown Exhibition this month.
POWER OF MAKING EXHIBITION, VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON
The forward-thinking curators at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London put together an amazing collection of objects and technologies demonstrating the explosive power of the Maker Movement which is taking the world by storm.
On display are RepRap and Makerbot 3D printers and various other new technologies pertinent to the Maker Movement.
Additive Technology promises a new potentially egalitarian industrial revolution which might follow the internet information model centred in the hands of end users rather than corporate monopolies.
ARTS AND CRAFTS PERMANENT COLLECTION, VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON
We visited the Arts and Crafts permanent collection at the Victoria & Albert to compare objects from what could be called the 19th Century Maker Movement begun by William Morris.
The lack of distinction between fine and decorative arts in Japan helped inspire a new anti-industrialist maker movement in the mid- to late-nineteenth century.
Works by Edward Burne-Jones, William De Morgan, Jessie Newbery, C.F.A. Voysey, and Pre-Rafaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti, reveal the serious rebellion which took place in 19th Century Great Britain against the over-industrialisation of decorated commodities.
CHARLES HICKSON
Built in what's termed a Jacobethan style during the Gothic Revival era of the first half of the 19th Century, Arley Hall in Cheshire, Great Britain, is a joy to visit and has incomparable gardens.
Cheshire painter Charles Hickson is represented by the Wendy Levy Contemporary Art Gallery in Sale, England. We visited with Charles on the grounds of Arley Hall - renown for it's loveliest of gardens - and still in the possession of its original owners - Viscount Ashbrook and family. We ask Charles about the intriguing subject of his painting - a bullish gargoyle.
EXPORTING BEAUTY: PILKINGTON POTTERY AND TILES
Finally, we are privileged with a glimpse into the history of industrially decorated goods at the Exporting Beauty: Pilkington Pottery and Tiles Exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery in Northern England.
Pilkington Pottery was founded in St Helens, Lancashire, in 1826 and grew to become a sizeable and innovative producer of glass and ceramic decorative housewares. The exhibition informs us that Pilkington's... was unusual in the level of freedom it gave to artists to experiment with colours and designs, and even engaged Alphonse Mucha - famed for his exquisite Art Nouveau poster prints - for a short period to supply designs.
FORD MADOX BROWN: PRE-RAFAELITE PIONEER
Housing the world's premier Pre-Rafaelite collection, Manchester Art Gallery is showcasing the work of Ford Madox Brown in his Pre-Rafaelite Pioneer Exhibition now through January.
