A John Page film showing the various processes involved in pottery making in the Gold Coast (Ghana). "The film opens with a map of Africa with the Gold Coast specially marked. Details are then given of an experiment being carried on in Achimota College, where natives are being taught the making of pottery. The first scenes show the digging and weathering of the clay, before it goes through the process of "Pugging" to make it workable and is "wedged" to remove air pockets from it. Then, made into balls, it goes to the potter for throwing. When the articles have been shaped and "green hard", they are turned before receiving a first glaze. They are then placed in saggers in a kiln, are fired, and cooled off for three days before the kiln is opened." (Monthly Film Bulletin (1947).
