The Notes
Filmed inside Earthworks' glaze room — a space normally closed to visitors — this series is the first time the grandmother recipe has been demonstrated on camera. Joan measures by ear; the sheet included below is our attempt to translate that into grams.
The five reels are meant to be watched at the wheel. Keep a notebook open. The best students of this material tend to be the ones who ruin the most cups in the first month.
