Sense of Smell

The Shipbuilder's workshop appealed to all the senses: I wanted to touch the delicate woodwork, hear the stories behind the ships, my eyes were amazed, etc. Above all however, was the wonderful smell of freshly cut wood.

Sense of Taste

I found these 'tasteful' ceramic tiles embedded in part of a wall at the Skopelos Foundation :)

Sense of Adventure--the Sixth Sense

The sense of adventure is what brought us all to Skopelos, and what has driven our creativity--the desire to explore and try new things!

Just for Kicks and Giggles: A Printmaking Poem

A collograph can make you laugh
An etching's rather fetching.
An aquatint makes an A1 print
For those adept at sketching.

Now wood is good
When the cut runs true
And lino's fine, oh yes.
Potato cuts just drive me nuts
For I love to make a mess.

Sense of Sound

I have heard the whir of an electric pottery wheel before, and never really paid attention--it's always a background noise, like air conditioning or the current on a power line. Today I heard and saw a manual wheel, or kick wheel, in action. It was a beautiful sound--the potter's foot scraping and propelling the big wooden wheel at the bottom made a rhythm that complemented the constant, up and down, in and out flow of the potter's hands on and around the spinning clay.

Sense of Sight

The sun rising over Skopelos is a sight to behold :)

Sense of Touch

Sundial?--Sculpture--Feeling the sun--Passage of time--Touching rocks, sand, grass
