LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

the more than 5o years old pottery workshop in the ancient part of tabriz belonged to abbas and ahmad ghabtshi, both passed away high in their eighties, the younger brother some years ago, the elder brother some months ago, originally from zonouz in north of tabriz, where the kaolin is found.



the son of abbas-agha is managing now the workshop! about 1o years ago he started to help his father and uncle by preparing the clay, which is a sweaty hard job!! and when his uncle passed away he just got retired and started to work here fulltime!
(fulltime for them means every day until noon!)



well, we are happy the pottery workshop will not be closed!!!!!! even recently they renovated the work shop! they are not that busy like before, but better than nothing!!!!!!!! and recently there is a young member of potter's house employed working on the potter's wheel!



so we went there this morning and brought our work pieces we've done during the last 1o days for the kiln to be ready, whenever it will be filled again... We will let you current!!!!!! :-)

wow, today in the morning at our breakfast something very strange happened!!! it was PAUL THE BACKPACKER telling us his dream he had last night, and while talking ipuenktchen's eyes became like plates......



because in his dream he went together with yashila_81 and his mountain-hiking buddies by bus to islamic island and entered the mountains together with them, and in the highest place there had been an old castle, *holakukhan castle*. there rest nothing but some stones and nishs.., but even it was impressing, he told us, but the greatest thing was the view!!!

do you remember from a former posting and a trip to urmia lake recently, crossing the new bridge over the lake ahead to urumieh?!?!!



and exactly this bridge and the whole lake they had in front of them, far, but so nice to see!!!!!!! and when he told this to ipuenktchen she was soooooooo surprised and perplexed!! as it was just the same story yashila_81 told to her when back from his mountain hiking!!!!?!?!?!! we couldn't be with them but finally PAUL had been with them in his dream and had a lot of fun, as well as it was quite hard, as he told us!!!



lucky PAUL :-))))))))))))))))))))))))
