I came across this yesterday while searching on twitter under #cermaics. It’s a lovely video by Andy Marshall about British ceramic mold maker Tony Ogen and gives us a peak into an important step in the creation of objects we use everyday and often take for granted.

The Space Between from Andy Marshall on Vimeo.

“Our meeting was completely accidental – whilst on a shoot over in Stoke I walked past an industrial tableau framed by a classic Midlands bottle kiln. Tucked awkwardly into the corner was Tony’s workshop. The compact workspace was stacked from the crown to the toe top full of every shape and form of mould; and in the midst was Tony Ogen patiently working away on creating what is essentially a form to encompass nothing – making the “space between” – the space upon which the utility of the vessels we use depends.”
