Limoges porcelain teardrop bowls by Gary Healey
A ballet dancer who has her pointe shoes made in London by a bloke called Ron...an oboe player who stays up into the early hours of the morning making his reeds...a potter who just loves the feel of clay.
These are some of the people we'll meet in this series. Amanda Smith speaks with a range of visual and performing artists about an object or material that each of them considers to be essential to their art.

In part two of Tools Of The Trade, potter Gary Healey gives us the inside story on clay. For his work, Gary uses Limoges porcelain. He says it's exquisite but unforgiving.
Gary talks about the tactile and sensuous process of getting to know and understand this clay.
