Hello! Another newbie to the list with a question! I will be travelling to
Madrid Spain this summer and will have a couple of extra days after my
official tour is over to prowl around the area. Are there any "must see"
ceramics/pottery places you could recommend? The trip is focused around art
and art history, so we are already going to the Prado, Reina Sofia and other
museums in Madrid.
Thanks for your help!

I have an Artitsta as a second wheel and for going out and doing
demos. Also for setting up outside when the urge strikes.
It is a great little wheel. My studio mate bought one as soon as he
saw mine because he has arthritic hips. He was having difficulty
sitting at a wheel. He prefers standing with the artista on a table.
He loves it and it has him throwing again. The woman at NCECA who was
demonstrating them last year recommended not getting the foot pedal.
She teaches HS and said her kids have better control without the foot
pdal. I haven't found that to be a problem.
I have been throwing for 40 years on all kinds of wheels. The manual
control is fine. The wheel also takes all my other bats. I use North
Stars little square inserts for small work.
This wheel is light, transportable, and fun to work on. And it is
cute! I got mine from Bennetts and it was delivered in a few days to
Montana. I now have it in Texas..where is it still raining. No
working outside for a while.

Get on the train at Atocha Station in Madrid and head to Valencia....three and half hour train trip....you arrive in downtown Valencia within walking distance of everything...museums, etc...even the train station itself is a work of art....if you want....get on the regional train to Castellon de la plana and rent a car or take the local bus up to Los Rosildos and pay a visit to Seth Cardew....CARDEW-SPAIN. He is having several workshops in May and June and then in September and October. I attended workshop last June and then went back in November and stayed at the pottery for almost three weeks. He and his wife Roberta are terrific. So many pots by Michael Cardew,his dad, all around....and of course Seth's work as well. Beautiful setting....beautiful journey getting there....and then Barcelona can be reached on the same train....head back to the train station in Castellon and then in a little over two hours you are in Barcelona. Love the transportation system in Spain............j
ust some tidbits of info. Happy travels in Spain!!
