Pottery

We had a chance to try pottery making as Li Cheng No. 2 Middle School had the facilities. For most of us, it was our first time trying it. Naturally, we did not know what to do with the lump of wet clay before us. Some tried to mould it into a vase, bowl, but were unsuccessful as we did not know the right techniques. Things got a little better after an art teacher came to show us how to use the tools.


It was not easy to create some form for the clay. Some who tried to make a bowl ended up making a vase instead (like me). And if one does not have some sort of an idea in mind, there is no goal to guide the pottery- making process, and there would be no end-product. It is so applicable to life, where one must have a goal before taking actions. Otherwise, no matter what we do, we will never know what we are doing, and will end up doing nothing.
