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.

Before I can switch gears and begin on my smoke fired pots, I’ve got to finish up this last batch. It’ll be a mixture of smaller sized tableware, a couple of lamps and some larger pieces for an upcoming show. I’m in the carving and decorating phase of the cycle now. Next comes the bisque fire, glazing and then firing one last time. The pottery cycle reminds me of the cycle of the moon. My next online sale will be on Saturday, November 22nd. #pottery #ceramics #WIP
A small batch of bone-dry pots sitting on a wooden shelf. Intricately decorated jugs, jars, vases and vases are clustered together with a light blue wall in the background.
