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.
Colorful ceramics in the shop with souvenirs on the island of Rhodes :)

A Japanese ice cream spot just popped up on our street, and it’s already the place to be. No basic vanilla here: they’re serving up creamy scoops with an Asian twist like matcha, yuzu, miso-caramel, hojicha, and lychee-jasmine tea. Super creative, super cool. I have to admit though, it was the handmade ceramics that really stole my heart. As for the ice cream? I played it safe and stuck with the good old mango sorbet 😄.

Digital painterly color pencil effect on a digital photo taken of some hanging ceramics at a gift shop.
Please see the previous image. Unlike the first image of this series, the object has changed (also made by Eleni-O'Hara in the 1970s) and the lens was switched to F8 or F11. The point of all this was to find out whether the Helios lens (2/58), a Russian vintage glass that works very well attached to my Fuji cameras, would also produce its charm on my Leica Mono. Please see for yourself. I believe that this combination is a happy one. Thanks to Joel Eve for this inspiration!

A pair of Sandersville switchers work the Imrey's Ceramic plant. A fortunate sun hole developed at the right moment to provide a bit of drama.
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.
Ceramics are widely used in electronics (chip packages, insulators, capacitors, resistors, inductors, fuse blocks, etc.). Here are just two examples. Ferrite is a ferromagnetic ceramic used for making things like inductors, transformers and chokes. The bulge you often find on the power or data cord to one of your computer, stereo or television devices is a piece of ferrite around the cord that blocks high-frequency signals picked up by the wire from interfering with the electronics. The two ferrite rings in this photo are about 30mm/1.2" across.
The white ceramic insulating spacers hold the fixed and the rotating sides of the variable capacitor apart from each other.

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.

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.

The art of Turkish tiles and ceramics occupies a place of prominence in the history of Islamic art and Middle East. Its roots can be traced at least as far back as the Uyghur's of the 8th and 9th centuries. . Its subsequent development was influenced by Karakhanid, Ghaznavid, and (especially) Iranian Seljuk art. With the Seljuk's victory over the Byzantines at Malazgirt in 1071, the art followed them into Anatolia and embarked upon a new period of strong development fostered by the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate.
These examples are extremely complex and detailed designs to be applied to ceramic surfaces. In addition to plant motifs, examples decorated with calligraphy and (less commonly) geometric patterns that are a continuation of Seljuk traditions are to be found. A rich and subtle palette of colors was available with colors such as turquoise, cobalt blue, lilac, yellow, black, and pistachio.
Ottoman Turks inherited the design and the craftsman ship of Seljuk's Ceramic arts and developed the techniques of ceramic making. The late 15th and early 16th century marks the beginning of a new period in Ottoman tile and ceramic-making. The most important center active at this time was Iznik. Designs prepared by artists who were employed in the studios of the Ottoman court were sent to Iznik to be executed in wares ordered for use at the palace.
The court's patronage stimulated and supported the development of an artistically and technically advanced ceramic industry in Iznik. The techniques involved in their manufacture are quite advanced as compared with anything previously done. The pastes are quite hard, pure white, and of fine quality. In that period these ceramics must have been fired at temperatures as high as 1,260 degrees Celsius rather than the normal 900 degrees adding that, at such temperatures, one is in the realm of light porcelain.
The techniques and quality employed in these ceramics were to last through various changes in style until the middle of the 17th century.
