Pottery

Journey into the Past: Class 3, Pottery Field Trip
As part of the subject, Sachkunde, we are currently dealing with the topic “The Stone Age.”  In the last few weeks we have learned how humans developed, which weapons and tools they used, how they lived, what they ate, and what they did to make food last longer.
To make understanding life in the Stone Age more tangible, we took a trip to a pottery workshop. Step by step we built cups and bowls out of clay, decorated them with different shapes, and finally painted them. Now we have to wait another two weeks for our kitchenware to be finished in two firing sessions in the kiln.
It was a great trip. We all took part with a lot of joy and creativity. It’s amazing how long these things take!
