Thank you for the suggestion! I can't believe I didn't think about watching it again. Duh!<br/><br/>Have you done a tour of the potteries in Stoke-on-Trent? Perhaps that is where you learned about the black to blue technique? I went to S-o-T last fall with an Expat group. We did a tour of the stores (haha). I would love to see those big kilns up close.<br/><br/>Alyson--The building is blue and white. And I know! I couldn't believe they said it was ok to take photos of their stuff. They were so nice there. I really love Holland. Bee–I have not seen the Pearl Earring film recently. Thank you for the suggestion! I can’t believe I didn’t think about watching it again. Duh!

Is it black and white or blue and white? I can't quite tell, but it's lovely.<br/><br/>I also enjoyed the pictures of the artists at work. What a great peek behind the scenes for those of us not lucky enough to have been there! I love that building! Is it black and white or blue and white? I can’t quite tell, but it’s lovely.

(We couldn't budge her from that shoe!)<br/><br/>I'm glad that you took us on the Delfware tour because "my people" (lazybones and Phillistines) couldn't be bothered. A quick perusal of the gift shops was all that they could be persuaded to do!!<br/><br/>Somehow (how?) I do remember the black paint before firing/glazing bit, though.<br/><br/>We saw "Girl with a Pearl Earring" again, just recently, and it was fun to watch the "extra" bits in which they discuss filming in Holland, constructing the house, and researching paint/painting techniques. Have you seen it since you've been to Delft?<br/><br/>The best bit of Delft was riding our bikes there from Den Haag . . . and then drinking a beer in the square.
