Something-a book, a trinket he'd found rummaging in an antique shop-would catch his magpie eye and remind him of someone; days later it would arrive with a letter in his bold flowing hand. He would spend hours covered in clay and oxide dust making ceramic tiles, assembling grand mosaics destined for a friend's winery wall...
