London was great! (Museums, architecture, double-decker buses, and meeting friends).
I continued my school education in the museums. One of the subject was buidling and materials. A few approaches to house construction from Victoria and Albert Museum, followed by my own very first clay piece, which is also a house (2 firing, with some brush color glazing). I make a joke that I can't possibly afford to buy a real house for my family, so I've made a small one. Maybe one day I'll build a real big house. I'll keep studying about it.
