Twisting Tradition: Medieval Cats, Dead Dad Pots
and the Ceramics of Vicky Lindo & Bill Brookes

Filmed in their North Devon studios, this intimate portrait follows the collaborative work of ceramic artists Vicky Lindo and Bill Brookes. Watch as they work together to hand-build and decorate an amphora jar (commissioned by the V&A).

Along the way, Vicky opens up about the stories behind her work — from childhood joy and love of animals to the emotional “Dead Dad” series inspired by her discoveries about her father’s life and death.

Thoughtful, funny, and quietly moving, this film reveals how craft, grief, memory and play intertwine to shape art that speaks far beyond the studio.
