I stayed with Katja in Križe, Slovenia. We had four nice days together and did some different techniques. I threw clay on a potters wheel, worked with slab, engobe, stamp and sgraffito. We've made a plaster mold and did some casting. It was very nice to work with Katja. She told me a lot about all techniques and was very helpful. She also showed me how to load the kiln and how the programs of the kilns work. The last day I've glazed some of my works. After work we visited Ljubljana, lovely city. We went to Radovljica and visited a ceramic shop and local potter. It's also a very nice old place. I saw Tržič and Dovzanova Soteska, a beautiful nature park. We ate the first local asparagus of the season! I forgot time and had a very nice experience . Katja is very easy going, I felt very at ease. Thank you so much.
