Mike's+Magic+Pottery+Place

= = =To see how clay is made into cool art, we visited Tarariki Pottery studio where Mike has his magic clay world.= 

**I went to Mike’s workshop and my class went too. (Kate)**. =Mike showed us his pottery shop filled with beautiful clay stories and teapots and cooking dishes. Then he showed us his story room with pictures. Some of the clay pieces Mike made were sad because he tried to make people become more sensible about how we look after the water in our river. But he found it hard and he said he made these faces to express that sadness. We are lucky Mike is teaching us how to express things through art.= = = = =  **At Mike’s place....... I went up some steep steps (Clayton).....we went upstairs (Nathan).......we went to the top of the roof (Bess)....he showed us upstairs into a dark room that had mattresses and pillows. He had a little heater (Hannah).....I liked the room (Ethan P)** 
 * In the garden there were clay men. ( Alphabet whales.)**
 * At Mike’s place we went up the steps and we watched some pictures and we went to his garden and we liked it. It was very cool. They liked the day today. I liked it too. (Crystel)**

 **At Mike’s place we went up some steps. They were steep and the steps were wooden. Upstairs it was like a pitch black cave and this projector was light and the projector made pictures. They were cool. (Sam)**

 **At Mike’s place we was in the roof and there were matresses. There were pictures and there were pillows and we went up the steep steps and they were wooden steps. There was clay and there was Mike making clay. (Tyne)**
