Back again in Hanoi to learn some more about the ceramic. This time I went to Bat Trang to paint on some potteries. I wanted to use a typical support from the village and the oriental countries as are the vases. In Bat Trang, you can see vases surrounded by dog figure’s all over town, so my aim was to confront an “overused” support by giving it my own western interpretation. You can see the pieces once kilned here.

After that, I went back to Phu Lang, where I have worked another kind of technique last year, to say hello to everybody and especially my good Artist friend’s Tuan…Once more, we have had some crazy Karaokes and good laughs.

I managed to do a 3tteapot and it felt good to see the pieces I left there last year kilned and looking “Phu Lang blackish”.

This village is definitely an enchanting place and the people there are wonderful!
