An abandoned pottery factory, somewhere in #France

This small French #pottery works thrived for decades. It remained modest, while competitors expanded and modernised. While this gives the ruins a certain quaint charm, it was certainly a major factor in their closure!

Inside, the upper floors have long rows of wooden racks stacked with hundreds of moulds. Heavy pieces were once moved on wooden carts along a rail system.

Dusty shelves filled with ceramic molds and pottery tools in an abandoned factory attic, with wooden tracks curving through debris on the floor.

Just finished working on some pages for a kids' art #zine we're making for upcoming community #Kwanzaa celebrations. Each child will be given a gift bag with zines, stickers, clay and other little art supplies. Last year, I just attended the celebration and this year I'm happy to be involved. I've never celebrated Kwanzaa in my home, but its a really good way to feel connected and grounded in positive ethics.

A green page with white handwritten text, decorated with red, black and green triangles. It contains steps 1-4 of making a clay bowl. There are four closeup photos of my hands performing each step. The text reads: take a small amount of clay and roll it between your palms to make a ball. Lightly pound the ball with your fist to flatten it into a "cookie."
A zine page. The background is green and the text is white and handwritten. The title reads "How to make a bowl from clay" laid over a photo closeup of my hands holding an unfired red clay bowl. Underneath it says Kuumba in Kwanzaa colors: red, green, black (and yellow.) Underneath the text reads: "Kwanzaa celebrates creativity, community and working with our hands, just like shaping a bowl from clay. When we make something ourselves, we honor the spirit of Kuumba--using our imagination to bring something good into the world. As you for your bowl think of it as a small piece of tradition: building, creating and sharing with others.
