| Description: | WEDGWOOD POTTERY Traditional methods of production are maintained in the Wedgwood China factory. Barlaston, Staffordshire. The manufacturing of Wedgwood China has not changed much since Josiah Wedgwood first opened his factory - a look around the Wedgwood factory. M/S of a row of girls pummelling clay into moulds. C/U of a girl emptying the moulds - delicate little clay figures fall out. C/U of man's hands carefully laying the figures on an unfired china dish. Zoom out on a man as he sticks figures to a jug, pan along to another man working on a bowl. Extreme C/U of an engraver tapping out patterns on a copper cylinder, M/S of a row of engravers at work. C/U of a sheet of pattern transfers coming off metal rollers. M/S of a girl cutting out circles from the sheet. M/S of another girl brushing the transfers onto a plate. Panning shot along a workshop full of women sticking transfers to cups and plates. C/U of a girl decorating a jug by hand, zoom out and pan across a workshop full of workers painting crockery. Extreme C/U on a brush painting an ivy pattern on the rim of a plate. High angled shot of a man painting a gold pattern on a plate rim. More shots of the hand painting workshop - lots of use of steadycam as it zooms around from worker to worker.
