Morning at the Museum

This week we went with some friends to the Museum of Peoples and Cultures at BYU to learn about pottery. We saw some displays, read a book about a man who made a pot, and then we got to try our hand at pottery making.

Here are a few pictures of the cool things we saw. My favorite is the dog shaped pot. It had a hollow tail that could wither be used to put something like flowers in, or possibly be used as a pitcher (but that seems a little gross!).




Here are pictures of Anne creating her masterpieces (a turtle and a bowl).






Here are pictures of all the girls at work and Abbey's masterpiece (the first one is in the earlier stages, and the second is the completed work of art).






Here are pictures of Olivia making her "stepping stones" and Jane wishing she were making pottery too. (I guess I'm a mean mom for not letting her become a "Messy Bessy" as she said yesterday.)
