I had a great opportunity today, like I did with Janire to make clay. Jeongmin is not so interested in getting dirty as Janire was, but he loved to learn about the minerals and the process of making a clay body and glazes. I taught him all about the activity specific vocabulary including
kiln, ball clay, kaolin, many other minerals, wheel, ceramic, greenware, bisqueware, cone, temperature etc.
We made a glaze recipe together, weighing out all the ingredients necessary for the glaze then mixing it. It was a cone 6 glaze from Ben Fiess' website

It was a great learning experience for him reading the recipe and following the instructions.
