The Potter's Hands

Last month I visited Cahaba Clayworks and photographed Earthborn Pottery's Nabeel working his magic at the potter's wheel.  Today another look.

Meet Nabeel

Last Monday I visited Cahaba Clayworks in Leeds for second time.  I had entered a giveaway on Facebook and WON!  Tena Payne's nationally known Earthborn Pottery is crafted right there and I was thrilled to receive a beautiful plate from Tena herself.  She graciously allowed us to photograph the work space and I honed in on Nabeel back in the corner hard at work.  He told us he'd been working there since last January and proved an interesting subject to photograph. I will share more photographs in the coming days.

Fired pottery awaiting the glaze

Oh what fun. Today I went back to Cahaba Clayworks in Leeds. This is where Tena Payne 's Earthborn pottery is created. It's always fun to roam around the studio and take pictures. I'm now a mini collector, but I want MORE! And did I mention that I'm seriously thinking about taking pottery classes there as well? Photos of me throwing pots promise to be something to behold!

Birmingham Rouge I

Pepper Place Market

Those of you that follow my Paris Through My Lens blog know that I seem to be drawn to photographing all things RED!  I didn't realize it till some of my more astute readers pointed it out.  I started a series that I 've called "Paris Rouge".  As I was pouring over my current Birmingham stash, I realized I had a few here as well. Today is the first in the series. Enjoy!

As you read this I will A. Be whiling away many hours in the Atlanta airport. B. Finally be catching  a jet plane to Paris.  Stay tuned to find out when I finally touch my toes on Paris soil.  Au revoir!
