Jingdezhen







Dear All
Here we are in Jingdezhen
This is one of the ways they wrap pots here to ship them all over the worldThis is SanBao where we are staying. its about 10 minutes out of town and we have adriver that takesus in a mini mini Van whenever we want to go home. Chickens and dogs abound and there are 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000Pots here of all qualities and conditions. We have had many teachers like Mr Wu pictured above showing us how to paint blue and white traditional designs. Vestiges of the Cultural Revolution still exist .
It is hard to get consistent internet so we have not posted as often as we would like.
Back to work ...glazing Monday.
Mardis and Bobby T

Mar & Bob!

I wish we were just a smidge closer--might warrant a visit. Kai & I say hi from Chiang Mai, Thailand!

You ladies are incredible, can't wait to see what you're up to next.

Love all the pic you posted so far, I really love the pic for the blue and white painting on the pots. I like the pic of the teacher painting on the dish. Take care and see you when you get back. Have fun. Debra
