The Höganäs Saluhall - Art Galleries, Deli, and Buffet

I hitched a ride with a friendly and generous English couple who had come to Sweden by ferry with their car. Only a 15 or 20 minute drive from Mölle, Höganäs is a prominent ceramics center in Sweden, as well an industrial town. The Saluhall is a former kiln building that has been converted to ceramics, design and food shopping as well as a restaurant. The large cylindrical kilns are now showrooms for ceramics and interior design products. The buffet lunch included two main dishes, soup and bread and several fresh salads. I have my friends to thank for my visit to Höganäs since my bus would have bypassed this fascinating site.

The top floor gives access to the kiln roofs, which are both attractive and utilitarian

a very interesting tour, works of good quality.
In the University I studied, during a semester a course titled Ceramic, I liked it a lot. I still have some of the pieces that I made

I'm glad it was of interest, @nayibe. Will you post photos of your work? :)

They are not of the level of those that there, are exhibited.
I would first have to visit my mother's house, then leave them there, when I went to live with my new family.
Remember that that was in my university time, for the years 1985, 1986, 1987.
But you give me a good idea, I think I'm interested in doing it.
Thanks for bringing memories to my mind.

You are very welcome. My first time in university covered some of those years also. Memories are certainly becoming more interesting. :)
