Last Thursday we went on a bus to visit Breeogue
Pottery. It is very close to our school.
Grainne showed us around her studio. We saw the two kilns that Grainne used for our sculptures and pots.
Grainne made a bowl and a vase while we were there. It was fascinating to watch Grainne make these items from clay!
Grainne then showed us how to glaze our sculptures. We were pleased to see our sculptures, they are now a white colour!
Then we went to visit the shop and we saw fantastic pieces of pottery that both Grainne and Tom made! We can see how much time and effort it takes to make an item out of clay!

 

Check out our coil pots!

Grainne put our pots into the kiln after we glazed them. We think they are lovely! Grainne said that they were so good that she could sell them in her shop!
