Pottery Wheel

We went to a kid's art class and got to use a pottery wheel to make a mug. Next week we'll go back to glaze it.  Navelle loved the feel of the clay on the wheel. It was very neat.

 

Here we are, just before the ball of clay (front) went onto the wheel.

 

Using our thumbs to make the hole for the mug...

 Shaping up the sides of the mug. (notice that Navelle is wearing the tie-dye shirt that she made at the birthday party yesterday)

Our wonderful friends, Tracy and Molly, who recommended this class and got us to go. Yay! (Molly is also wearing her tie-dye shirt. they were very pleased about this)
