I left my blog out

I meant to show the fired pieces and the Xmas fair but I guess having too many places to post on I forgot my own blog.

I have put the images on Instagram and FaceBook so I’m going to put it here now just for history’s sake.  A nice sample of what came out of the fire.

Annual wood firing

Once a year a group of potter get together for the annual wood firing of the groundhog kiln at Strathnairn art centre. It seems that my stuff occupies most of it this year……

Agra and Jaipur

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.

The Himalayas

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.

It was fun, thank you for coming

It was a wonderful weekend market with a lot of interested visitors and very supportive crowd. This is the beginning and the end of my table.

I am now taking a long awaited time off from work and pottery for a bit of sunshine and beaches. Looking forward to see you all again around Christmas.
