I hope you all had a good start of the new year! On these first days of January it’s all quiet and calm here. The Christmas holidays are over and I’m back at work in my studio and preparing the last creations before firing the kiln. In the mean time I’m daydreaming a little about…
Today it’s the 21st of December, winter solstice, which means it’s the shortest day of this year. A day I always look forward to as the days will lengthen again from now on. Although I love the burning candles and tiny lights shining in the dark everywhere, I’m also longing for some brighter and longer…
