Kids Pottery Camp

By Kevin Garwood

Pottery here is very fun and it is easy to learn with our pottery teacher Ann. She is a very kind woman. She always likes to help kids and she has the most practice out of anyone I have ever seen. She does not only have kids do pots on the wheel she has slabs to so kids who do not like to work on the wheel can still make something. She shows kids the different kinds of tools used in pottery. How to use the tools and when to use them. She teaches them to make a pot and encourages them to practice even when they are discouraged. Pottery is fun in the sense that you could pretty much make any thing you want. You can mold the clay into what ever shape of form you desire.
