Last but not least for November will be the Ceramic Fair  W4,  organized by two London Potters members.

This will be my fifth year at Glebe Road,
Glebe Road Open Studios: 30th November and 1st December, from 11am to 6pm. 10 Ceramic artists from the studio will be displaying their work and entertaining the visitors.
This year we are joining forces with 3 neighboring studios to create an art trail for the weekend.  Bellow is the map.

It has been a busy week.  Which is normal for this time of the year.  There are many orders to finish, and more coming in at Cheeky Tiki.  I am working an extra day these weeks.

Concerning my work I am mainly glazing now.  One of my favorite things to do, specially opening the kilns after the firing to see what has come out.  Our kilns are still misbehaving, over firing, So I have lower the final temperature.   I am not sure what is going to come out.  People has not kept a record of what the kilns were doing while I was away.  But Debby used cones on her last firing and from them is clear the kiln is going over at least 30 degrees in the middle shelf.
I will open the kiln today after work.
At the end of this month we have our Open studios.  This is a link to pictures from last year:

I have written something commenting on my stay in Jingdezhen at:

There would be more chapters.

I am finally back in London after almost two months in China.  I am back to my normal life and it feels like my China experience is far away in the past.  It is just a week but it seems I have been in London for a year.
It is a good time for me to think and evaluate my time in China, in Jingdezhen. 
While in China I was keeping a diary, witting everyday.  It is time to read it back.   Funny enough I have not been able to do the same thing here in London, but it was a good habit I  do not want to lose it.
Going back to Jingdezhen and its ceramics, one of the techniques or craft that most surprise me was carving.
