With each step—sourcing, harvesting, and shaping the clay into unique pottery. The film beautifully captures how this hands-on process not only hones his skills as an artisan but also deepens his reverence for the natural world, weaving a narrative of creativity, sustainability, and a heartfelt appreciation for the ancient art of pottery.
