Today I visited Riverside Pottery where my daughter is taking the pottery class as a part of 4-H program. Susanna and Hans, the artists and owners of the store/studio, are the instructors.
It was interesting to hear how delicate the pottery making process is. The moisture content of the clay, the shrinkage after it dries, the mixing condition of the glaze, how it’s glazed and fired – they are never the same each time. You’ll never know how it turns out until you open the kiln… exciting, isn’t it?
A fun project for kids (big or small)!
