Today we had our monthly Keepers at Home meeting and we focused on getting our pottery patch. My friend who does her own pottery taught us the different styles and techniques in pottery making. I knew she was an excellent teacher, Mookie and Bubby loved her art class at our homeschool coop, but this was my first time seeing first hand how amazing she is!
She had the girls make a pinch pot, a coiled pot and then showed them how to throw a pot on a potter's wheel. Some even jumped in, got super messy and tried their hands at the wheel too!
Mookie was in her element with creating the pottery. She enjoyed both styles she tried, but really took her time with the coiled pot.
She's a little regretful she didn't dive in and try the potter's wheel - she's never been into messy things - but maybe we'll have another chance sometime:)
