Create a Bowl with your own Hands

Pottery Dance: A Clay Story

First, take some clay, all squishy and wet.

Knead it like dough – don't stop, don't worry!

Squeeze out the bubbles, there's no room for air to hide,

otherwise your pot will burst like a soda!

Then spin the potter's wheel, give it a spin,

center the lump – it's slippery!

Raise the sides, don't poke a hole,

otherwise you'll have a pot with a thick core.

Dry it slowly, don't rush it,

otherwise your pot will crack – oh, how mean!

Leather-hard is the phase when trimming is fun.

Add handles or ears – maybe even a bun?

Now comes the kiln, a fiery beast.

First, the bisque firing – a feast of clay!

 Hot and crispy, but not too hot,

otherwise your pot will melt—oh, what a bummer!

Apply glaze and make it shine.

Colors and glitter—a true pottery delight!

Dip, paint, or spray—get artistic, you know?

Make it so pretty, it's pottery delight!
