Glazing is so time consuming so this time I decided to concentrate on very few. Four to be exact. One for the mugs, one for the bowls and two (combined) for the others. As it is wood firing I left quite a few with no glaze. Hoping the wood would do the work for me.
After the amazing high of the Himalayas a visit to the amazing buildings of India. Taj Mahal is not only a the most beautiful building I have ever seen, it is one of the most famous monuments of the world. A few photos of the Taj and some other fortes.
I have been back home for a couple of weeks now and I have to admit I find it quite difficult, getting back to life as normal after home visits. Having friends here does make it much easier though.
This time I stopped in India before coming back. I visited Jaipur, Agra and Ladakh. The Himalayas are the most incredible place I have ever visited and the Taj Mahal is the most impressive building I have ever seen in person.
As always I will let the picture speak for themselves as I am so not good with words.
As you can see I cannot do without coffee. That one was unexpectedly good.
I will post some photos of the Taj Mahal soon.
Also I am preparing for the Xmas fair with a few Chanukiuit (חנוכיות), and very excited about the up and coming wood firing in Strathnairn. Hopefully it will be successful.
