Just out of the kiln...the tentativeness of a bridal couple? (my interpretation)
Recently a client was trying to describe what I call a 'zig zag' vase - this was her take on the shape...It certainly made me chuckle!
Come take a walk to the Christmas market.....!!
This is indeed the best market in Cape Town !!!This combined event will take place from 14-16 December at the Freeworld Design Centre courtyard, along Cape Town’s Fan Walk. The church’s popular annual Carols by Candlelight is a non-denominational event that takes place within the church itself on the evening of 14 December. Visitors to the market will be able to enter the church from the courtyard and all faiths are welcome to attend the carols. There is no cost to attend either the market or the carols. The market will run for a further two days after the opening carols event, and is in aid of the church’s children’s home.
Designer exhibitors are all hand-picked by Lauren Shantall (Head of Freeworld Design Centre). In addition to the exquisite handmade goodies on offer for festive season gifts, there will be live music, tours of the ELC Clock Tower, and a host of yummy food offerings. This event forms part of WalkCapeTown, a post-World Cup initiative, which aims to re-energise the Fan Walk through public events and ultimately enhance the cultural life of the city.
WHEN:
Wednesday 14 December 15h30 – 21h00, to coincide with the Carols by Candlelight at the ELC
Thursday 15 December 10h30 – 21h00
Friday 16 December 10h30 – 21h00 (public holiday)

A friend sent me a link to The Identikit of the Perfect Maker where there are wonderful images of the work of Michael Eden whose work I had seen in Ceramic Review. However his website and blog reveal some fascinating directions of ceramics-meets-digital design-meets concepts...well worth checking it out.
