After lessons on Chinese
culture and history, including the Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties we muddied our
hands today in clay, creating tea cups that we will use in a tea ceremony later
this month.
The first step was for
students to use their smartphones and search an appropriate Chinese character
they will engrave and glaze onto the cup.
The next step was to start
making our pinch pot tea cups. Frustrating for some, easier for others, but
seemed to be fun for all.
Tomorrow we will continue shaping
and carving into the cups then let them dry to prepare for firing in the kiln.
