My Birthday

I am really nervous about my birthday with so many stuff to plan. We're having it at Muddy Waters Studio. I only invited 5 people, but I still think it'll be fun. My birthday party is going to be on the 14th at 1:30 pm. I really hope the real birthday celebration will be fun. I'll tell you the story once it has happened.

Wow, it happened, but forgot to write all of it down during that day! So, I'll tell you know:

I was really excited when I got to the studio. I dashed in and was looking all around that small little place. I sat down and then my friend Lauren came in, then Macie, then Alicia, then May and Gayla. I was super happy they all came. The owner of the place was telling us how to do the 2 projects we were making. They was a castle and a pot or bowl etc.

I decided to do my pot on the pottery wheel first, I grabbed a piece of clay splashed some water on it and started the wheel. It was REALLY fun, this is the order of the steps:

-Making a dome shape the make it stable
-Drilling a hole in it with your finger
-Pulling the walls into the right shape
-Just shape it because I forgot the rest of the steps

Then after we got to make 2 pieces pottery my group went on to the castle, while the other group went on to the pottery wheel.

We started with 2 flattened pieces of clay. These are the steps:

First we sprayed some cooking oil and printed a kind of pattern on the pieces of clay.
Then we shaped it out with the shape tracer to get the kind of shape to model our castle roof and shaped it.
After we were done with the roof we did the same thing with the base.
Lastly, we created a floor for the castle and added some decorations.

Soon, it was time to clean up and we washed the table and the pottery wheels.

Then it was time to say good-bye and only May, Gayla, and Lauren came with me.

They went to our house, but I won't tell you what we did in this post. I'll tell you in the other post.
