Good morning! It’s Sunday and still nice and cool, and I’m playing with terra sigillata #ceramics #pottery

In Andalucia we get these dust storms up from the Sahara, called a Calima or Kalima, which deposit huge amounts of extremely fine sand onto everything. It coats cars and stains the sides of buildings. When I was sweeping up on the roof the other day, I found a little corner with a pile of it. It's been there sitting there since our last kalima. So I mixed it in with some ball clay, to see if I could make some terra sig out of it. #ceramics #pottery
