Pottery

If I had some clay I would work with it To create a vase or make a soap dish Working with wet clay Ins easy to work with Making it into something To be so proud of The large items made on the potter's wheel It takes time to shape Making objects right After twelve hours made Then into the kilm Next to be sanded After that g;lazed Then painted again Returned to the kilm Once more again Then apply the felt

Interesting poem, Darlene. It must be very satisfying to be able to do that. I could never manage the wet clay. // Barry

Nice little poem of 'how it works' As a kid I loved to watch a potter at work on one of the demo screens on TV. I still go to watch them at craft workshops. It is so relaxing...

I remember using a pottery wheel when I was young and just loving it. I have always wanted to do it again one day and hopefully will. Thanks for posting this great poem Darlene! :)
