48 Days to Residency.

I know it has been a while since I have Posted but I have very busy back & forth with the Residency, Artists etc organising, organising and organising.

There is actually quite a lot work involved getting all the details for the New Residency organised and  everything is now hunky dory. This is a new experience for all the members of my Group and I know that they will get ITCHY feet and want to return to China sometime in the future.  

Now we are just counting down the days when we will be in Xindu producing our Artwork.
It is all very Exciting.

Ellen & Yeats are organised for their Tour before the Residency. They now have their Visa's, so they are just waiting to get on their Flight to China.  I will hopefully have photos of their Tour to Download when we meet up at Jingdezhen.

The photos below are of the Bottle Factory in Jingdezhen. About 30,000 Rice Wine bottles & more are made daily in the Factory.
Since this visit in 2009 the Factory has been enlarged.
Our Group will visit this Factory while in Jingdezhen.


This is Mr. Bottle (A nick Name for the owner of the Bottle Factory) and my husband Roy.
