Double exposure; Samyang manual lens at F22; some LED lights.

This is a closeup of a ceramic bowl with some fancy glazing. For Macro Mondays theme "Ceramics". Width of image approx 2 inches.

At the international exhibition "ceramic art London 2022" (Central Saint Martins, Granary Square). Sculpture by Chris Turrell. Chris is based in Liverpool and what interests me in particular is that he moved from figurative and anthropomorphic sculpture to a minimalist and radically abstract approach. Those of us knowing one or two things about prehistoric art will immediately discover that this is the way art developed in ancient times from the palaeolithic to the mesolithic - from elaborate cave wall frescoes showing animals to geometric patterns and dot paintings.

This culture, also called Recuay, developed in the sierra and central coast of northern Peru. Its ceramics are shaped and scenic.

Here is a dainty teacup with a butterfly design that I turned upside down. For Macro Mondays group.

Ceramic bowl, around 1970. Contre-jour, reflector.

Japanese ceramics with bamboo and wicker textures by candle light

Celeste and I completed an 8 week pottery course in Robertson. For me it was my first attempt at pottery. Everything made was all hand built on Cycladic and Minoan themes, that is ancient greek from the Greek Isles and Crete.

This shop is in the Island of Rhodes.

I have made a commitment to include more interior arts and ceramics into my photography on this European trip. I didn't realize how famous this ceramic shop was till I was told they export their ceramics all over Europe including Athens area of Greece. They are so committed with their work and the history that comes with this shop. They make their own ceramics hand-made and plentiful of them.

Earthenware with cobalt stain and transparent glaze (since that is all I had in stock during lockdown.)

Ceramics from several years back. The matching between the origami bowl and the ceramic bowl was unintentional, but the addition of the origami lid was inspired by the ceramic piece.

Thrown bowl with a brown to green sinter engobe.
