Depicts members of the Meaders family conducting their pottery business in Cleveland, Georgia, using techniques unchanged since 1893 to dig and grind the clay, and then throwing, glazing, and firing the crocks and pitchers. They discuss each step and the attitudes of folk potter "holdouts" toward piecing, brick kilns, homemade tools, clay mixtures, and glazes. From the Smithsonian Folklife Studies Monograph / Film series. Produced by the Smithsonian Institution Office of Folklife Programs.
