Jon (the Flying Potter) came to visit us in December.

We felt the clay - it was soft and cold. We flattened the clay by hitting it with our hands. It was great fun!

We cut the clay using a template and clay tool. Jon made some number tiles. We used clay tools and extra clay on top of the tiles to make beautiful flowers, birds, plants and leaves.

When we had finished decorating the tiles we painted them using special blue, green and yellow clay paint. We were very careful and took our time to make them look nice.

Jon took all our tiles back to his pottery workshop, where he let them dry before putting them in the kiln to cook or fire. When they came out the colours were very bright.

Jon came back with the tiles. We are going to make them into a clock for our wall. We had great fun trying to find the tiles we had made. Don't you think it looks fantastic!
