So it’s been months, but we finally got all of our ceramics back! We’re extremely happy with the results, but now have to find somewhere for them :/

Freiburg Pottery
As far as I know, there are two dedicated ceramic markets held around this area every year – Freiburg and Kandern. So far we’ve only been to the Freiburg one (first posted about here), and amazingly 12 months has gone by since we last visited! I’ve been anticipating it for weeks, counting my pennies and mentally preparing myself for an onslaught of creative awesomeness.
I wasn’t disappointed.
This year it was held on the last weekend in June, and we arrived bright and early on Saturday (ok, like 10.30 – early for me) to snatch up our favourites before anyone else could. We sought out our most favourite vendor (who consequently always sells out of her coolest stuff really quickly – and who I’m pretty sure is actually starting to get to know us) and managed to walk away with some pretty cool purchases. Who needs money when you have painstakingly handmade plates and bowls right? Priorities.In.Order.

Some photos from our ceramic course :)
slip-casting
One of our on-going projects over the last couple of months has been slip-casting bowls. I think we now have about 6 bowls all made with this process, so we’ll take them off to be fired soon! We probably could have done a lot more bowls in all this time, but we’ve been pretty lazy with the whole thing really.. we keep forgetting about it!
Freiburg ceramic market
Yesterday we headed to Freiburg with some friends to visit a ceramic market being held in a park just outside the centre of town. There were some really fantastic pieces on offer, but one stall in particular really caught our attention and we ended up walking away with with a couple of their beautiful pieces (not before we’d spent a good half hour standing at their stall in turmoil, trying to justify buying everything on the table!).
The photos above are what we ended up with.. it makes me happy just looking at them! They’re by Medi Zimmermann, who I think also has a showroom/shop in Villingen, a small town east of Freiburg. Unfortunately they don’t have a website.. but I can imagine the shop would be worth a visit if you *happen* to be in the area!
