Pottery studio 1.

We met at 2 o 'clock in the school and went to a pottery studio wich is next to an elementary school. A hungarian lady greeted us,she was very nice and helpful.We got some basic information about the types and techniques of clay,then we split up into two groups , foreighners with Paula and Hungarians with her. She showed us two different techniques, first we made a cup from ball. With our thumb we created a hole which became bigger and bigger.
My cup looks like a mushroom, because i made a top as well.We could also use "postmarks" to decorate it,so I put little cherrys on it.
I was curious what Paula's group made,I went to the other room to check them.There ws a big difference between the groups, it's interesting.You could easily noticed the Hungarian way of teaching is quite different.They had more "freedom" at Paul's team,the results were more artistic.I liked there works very much,but I like ours too. :) It's just interesting to see again what i have experienced before in Denmark.
The second task was to make a vase, she showed the technique and we followed the steps, it was easy.
I am waiting for the next lesson in the pottery studio!!!
