Day Trip to Delft

When the symposium was over we did a day trip to Delft, home of the famous pottery. It is only about 35 minutes by train. Delft is similar to Amsterdam in that it has canals and old buildings but the pace is much calmer since there are really so few people compared to Amsterdam.

My first sketch was of the Old Kerk, or Old Church. It is tilted about 2 meters to the right...doesn't look safe to me but they say it is.


The Deflt kissing girl and boy welcomed us.



Delft has a pretty windmill, the de Roos Windmill.


The buildings were similar to those in Amsterdam, especially the roofs.


We went to a Delft pottery shop and the woman was painting the pottery.
