Pottery in Mwadui

Tonight my friend, Amanda and her husband, Andre go out on their three-week break. On Thursday, Tilla and her husband go out on their three-week break. So that leaves me as the only expat lady here in town. The Pottery Studio will be closed while these two ladies are gone, Fortunately, Nsia (my Tanzanian friend) lives here so she and I will get together at my home on Saturdays to finish painting items. These will be baked once Tilla and Amanda are back on camp in December.

Recently I unearthed a wildlife booklet in my desk drawer, with beautifully colored drawings of bats, bees, butterflies, birds and plants. I intend to draw quite a number of these onto the various items I have to paint.

Some of the designs I intend to paint onto my pottery items 

I sincerely hope that Nsia and I (she is less of a novice at pottery than I am, only because she's being doing it for a few weeks more) cope with our tasks while "teacher Amanda" is away! I'll be posting about it later so watch this space!
