It's 5:12 am and I'm here but my enabling technology isn't. computer is running out of juice as I left charger and converter in Amsterdam yesterday morning. Of course. I decided to view the situation as a challenge to see if I could in fact live without the computer for 2 days: ie, with books and paper instead. Needless to say, yesterday was quite painful. No itunes, no internet, no WIRE. But that's another thought for another time. Instead I read two of 5 books on Droog design and had tead and cup of soup in my tiny shoe of a dorm room. Pictures forthcoming.
I hear this place is all about clay, so that might figure in at some part this afternoon. It's pretty incredible. And I'm totally clay-shy. Staff and facilities all unbelieveable. There's a ratio of 1:1 it seems, but not all staff are ceramicists. There's a plaster room and a CNC milling machine in addition to the family of kilns, the clay room -- which has it's own deliciously humid micro climate-- and glazing rooms. Needless to say: loads to learn and lots of folk ready to teach. So I'm on my way.
Now, if I could just draw out everything I have in my head.
Coffee's on. Computer should shut off.
Thinking of you.
