Just got back from my eight and a half week ceramic world tour – yes, I’m still in reverse-culture-shock, and no, I’m not ready to come back to reality! Here are just a few photo-journal highlights of my travels…boy, it was hard to pick just a few photos out of the HUNDREDS i took. Big thanks to everyone I met along the way who made this summer the best one of my life!

Great stuff here, Christa! The Greek pots, Hannah’s beauties, and loved the video, it was hysterical.
Can’t see the tea bowls real well. I don’t suppose it was the one with the camel (still doing that pose religiously)…?
