Northwest Profiles
Claytopia
Clip: Season 26 | 6m 55s
A world-class pottery museum in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, Medalta Potteries was the king of the kiln, a ceramic colossus of the Canadian clay industry. And then in 1954, this prodigious potter went bust. We visit the Medalta Potteries National Historic Site in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This living, working museum is home to the largest collection of Medalta pottery (over 20,000) on the planet.
