Currently we are on a mini two week tour of southern Spain. A first highlight was the Archaeology Museum in Jerez.
And yesterday, an exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Creation in Cordoba
However, most interesting was a small ceramics workshop in the centre of Cordoba. In there I bought for seven euros a small melted glass bottle.
I also had a good chat with the woman who made it, and she did her best to explain to me the necessary kiln timings for a successful glass melt.
Going to southern Spain was a last minute thing for me. I have tagged along with Karen and Roxanna, to make sure we get to spend some nice time together this summer. However, I have really been struck by how stimulating getting away, but also engaging with new places can be.
I am really excited about making some large bevelled glass slabs, that I can then use to knap some bigger handaxes of colour. I am super busy when I get back, but a visit to the bottle tip, and a session with Nacho and his kiln are now high on my agenda!
Thanks to Brosky and Maria for making us super welcome and spending their time showing us around Cordoba. We are so lucky to have good friends in great places.
