2. How many things you can do with clay? Lorena explains it to us:
for example
a bowl …
… or tiles.
By the way, have you noticed that all tiles have a geometric shape?

3. Today we choose round shapes, we can make them only with our hands.
Let's try to make a bowl! But how?
We start by pressing the clay:
and then with our fingers.
first with our fists

4. Now let's make a ball …
... it's easy,
just flip it over in your hands.

5. Then we press it and turn it into a circle, which will be the bottom of our bowl.

6. Now we have to do the edge of the bowl.
Do you know what the "big worm" is? No? Then you’ll see!
We start by forming a cylinder …

7. … which gets longer... and thinner and thinner…
Does it seem easy? Not at all! It could break any time!

8. To make the edge we use the technique of "coiling": we coil the “big worm” at the bottom.
It is not easy, we must be very careful!

9. There is always something to do if we want a beautiful bowl!

10. Finished? NO!
Decoration is missing!

11. Let's do it now!

12. Our job is over …
… we just have to fire it.

13. Dario still wants to prepare a gift for us, and we deserve it!
It’s a jar!
He’s smart! He uses a wheel to make it beautifully round!

14. But....surprise, it's a moneybox!

15. Have we been good? We say yes!
Our bowls are all round, even those of our teachers Gisella and Anna.

16. A big thank you to Lorena and Dario
