Clay is cut in a clay-pit and transported on a two-wheeled cart to Ochtrup, where the clay is then stored in a bricklined pit, to "soak". Before processing it is kneaded, first mechanically and then by hand. The master-potter shapes a plate, which is then primed, coated with paint, and finally glazed. The same work procedure is demonstrated on a jug, with the addition of the shaping and attaching of the handle. The film also shows the manufacture of "Ochtrup Nightingales", small, clay warbler-whistles, and finally the baking of various earthenware in an electric kiln.
