We had long left the seven-year itch behind us, but after almost 20 years a new desire awoke in me. My old flame disappointed me again and again. Was I tired of her? Is it time for our paths to part?
And then I met her. More and more furtive glances in her direction. A “coincidental” meeting at Keramikos. An extra round to admire her. I enjoyed her shapes, her warmth, her fiery temperament. Was this love mutual?
I took the plunge about six months ago. We had to move on together. I gathered all my courage (and money)…. And I ordered my new ceramic kiln.
Delivery of my new ceramic kiln
And last month it finally happened. My new love was neatly delivered at my doorstep….. And not only that, she was placed exactly where I wanted her.
That was quite a job, because getting 385 kilos in place is quite a “thing”. But with combined forces (and two hydraulic hand trucks) the job was done quickly and professionally,
Thank you Keramikos!
Also ready for a new flame?
Are you also looking for a new ceramic kiln? Or curious about what is involved in making a good choice?
In the new year I will post three blogs specifically about purchasing a ceramic kiln.
Because, although this is not my first ceramic kiln that I have bought, it is always a difficult decision. That was the case 30 years ago, when I was looking for my first kiln and that is still that way a number of kilns later. Some things never change..
Happy New Year!
I’m going to enjoy my new flame. So I’m really curious what the new year has in store for me in terms of ceramic surprises. Also curious? Then follow this blog (and Instagram, Facebook,etc..).
And by the way, I haven’t given up on my old love yet. That’s the beauty of ceramics, an old or new kiln, I enjoy the process. I hope you will enjoy the result!
Anyway, we wish you a good and healthy 2022! And see you next year…
