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

At the international exhibition "ceramic art London 2022" (Central Saint Martins, Granary Square). Sculpture by James Evans. There was obviously some kind of iron mixed into the clay. To me, his sculptures trigger associations of the decay and, hence, the transitoriness, of our grand technological structures. So, what we are looking at is the debris of the Anthropocene.

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.

Inspired by the KraftWork Ceramics collection in the latest Pocket Gacha, I put together a little artisan ceramics studio in Fourth Walls Industrial Cabin. I can just imagine myself pottering away to make items for sale to visitors. Another great fun project!

Two icons in one: in the foreground, a portion of the ceramic poppy installation, "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red", at the Tower of London, and on the other side of the River Thames, the 72-storey London Bridge Tower, clad in ultra-white glass. Also known as The Shard, it was designed by the architects at Renzo Piano Building Workshop in collaboration with Adamson Associates Archtects (Toronto, London).

Currently, the building is said to be 95% owned by the State of Qatar.

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.

Here is a progress photo, my objects are on the bottom shelf and Celeste's on the top shelf.

Visited my 90 year young aunt today.

My aunt made this life-size ceramic cat in 1972. It is one of many figures she made back then. This one was always a favorite with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and it sits very alert and cat-like near her front door.

Back in the 1960s through the 1970s every town seemed to have "Ceramics Classes" being offered and many 'middle-aged' housewives participated. I remember my mom attended a few.

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.

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.
