- Video of Chester Hewell, potter, making jugs at his family's pottery shop, Hewell's Pottery. Hewell's family started making pottery before the Civil War in Barrow County, Georgia. They made face jogs, and jugs for storing bootlegged liquor. Rosenbaum interviews Hewell and notes that Winder used to be called Jugtown, GA. Hewell discusses the different types of pottery that he creates, and shows the group his pottery equipment. He discusses different glazes, and the group speaks with Hewell's father Harold, a potter who also makes art from aluminum.
