72 Steps is a video filmed and produced by Caroline Cheng in appreciation of the skilled craftsmen in ceramic production.
It begins with people processing and preparing the clay for production. Then come the porters, makers, mold makers, painters, glazers, kiln masters, packaging people, and many others with specialized skills. There is a saying in Jingdezhen: "It takes 72 different craftsmen to make one perfect pot."
