Spent a lovely time in a Tuscan farmhouse over August with my boyfriends family and friends. Also visited a very kind ceramicist who i met in Aberystwth. I helped her build her bottle kiln, she also makes beautiful ceramic pieces. She showed me her studio in Reggello, near Florence and we had a delicious lunch altogether cooked by her husband Almando.

Karin Putsch Grassi- Home made Raku kiln
Karin gave me this beautiful ceramic raku bird she had made.
I really like the change in colour with the black clay and the raku surface.
Above are some of the beautiful surroundings at Casalino in Tuscany.
