Nic Collins lives and works in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. Our film shows him potting and follows him during the firing of his anagama kiln. He discusses his love of making pots, his working methods and the importance of wood-firing to his work.
A self-taught potter and woodfirer, he started building kilns and wheels during his late teens and early 20s, experimenting with raku, salt glazing and sawdust firings, and using clay sourced from local river banks.
