This film introduces Agalis Manessi's two studios, in London and Corfu, where she was born and where she returns to every year. She describes her simple methods of working with clay, primarily with her hands, to create a range of modelled animals and figures as well as coiled and pinched vessels and dishes.
A major feature of her work is painting on the raw glaze with oxides and stains in a traditional process known as maiolica. The film explores some of her inspirations and goes through the process of making, glazing, painting and firing to the glorious fired result.
