10 master potters at work and demonstrating from all over the globe and what a feast it is!<br />
All working in very different ways from making big pots and I mean big pots, bigger than me!<br />
And that just in one day!<br />
The town is buzzing with potters about 400 <br />
Lectures and exhibition openings every day, we start at 9 in the morning and stop at about 8 at night exhausted and full of new ideas witch will be explored we I get home( or maybe not all of them!!)<br />

I tried out some new ideas and hope to dive into it in the new year!<br />
So, here are some samples to start with that is, in the domestic ware. <br />

I have been working on a power point from my experiences and that took more time than I expected.<br />
Not much time left to go back and work with clay, hopefully after the festive season I will be inspired again and jump into it!<br />
<br />
In the meantime here is some jewelery I bought at the student markets in Jingdezhen which are held every Saturday. The students are not allowed to make pieces that somebody else is making, they have to come with new work every couple of weeks they are never in the same spot which makes the markets very interesting every time.<br />

I am just processing the weeks in China, it takes some time to take it all in.<br />
And what an experience it has been, seen so many things, the making of ceramics is quite different from how we do it here.<br />
lots of little commercial potteries in and around JINDEZHEN, but hardly anybody makes there pieces from beginning to end, they all have there own specialty so a piece is made by many hands.<br />

And Facebook as wel, for the past week and half I have tried to get into it but blogs, Facebook and twitter are all blocked in China.<br />
I am having a great time, what an experience it is. Jingdezhen is clay, potters, slip casters, mold makers, brush makers and everything else to do with ceramics.<br />
We got a great studio right in the middle of it,what else does one want. Throwing porcelain is not as hard as I expected it, just getting used to the different varieties and wheels takes a bit of time.<br />
We have done quite a bit of side trips to various places, transfer makers, tile makers not just your ordinary kitchen tiles but tiles the size of your kitchen table! It takes about 5 minutes with 2 people and its finishes. Glaze makers, tool makers I could go on a bit longer maybe next time.<br />
