The people in Zanesville, Ohio could learn a very valuable lesson by watching this video. I did a trip once from Buffalo to Port Huron across Canada. I was so impressed by the highway signs pointing to the cottage industries. We have so much to learn from our neighbors north of us.

Excellent. Visited as a student from Ceramics Canada, Calgary in 1976. Friends of Medalta welcomed Carlton Ball who was our teacher. I myself came down from the Yukon to learn.

I always love hearing about the family connections that trace back to Medalta - that's so cool! Thanks for watching.

My father is David Jamieson. Thank you for this. It meant a lot. I remember when he was involved. It was very important to him. Great job. David Jamieson II.

He played a vital role in saving this place - was so glad to have him involved to share his perspective. Thank you!

It has always fascinated me to wander Medalta and the enclave - the clay district - of which it is a part. Although bits and pieces of the story have been evident during my time around Medicine Hat, this documentary pulls it together - and more. Well done, Luke.
