George makes some pottery

A member of the Rakuwaen pottery club shows us how to shape a cup around a tube.

George and I make a pottery dish.

On Tuesday, George and I had fun with clay.
We went to a community center.
It was a community center for senior citizens.
Senior citizens means older people.
We met some people there who made pottery.
They had a pottery club.
They liked to make things with clay.
They were very nice.
They gave us some clay.
Then they showed us how to make things with it.
Some teachers made bowls.
Some teachers made cups.
Some teachers made mugs.
George and I made a dish.
It was a rectangle.
We used a sharp stick to write on the clay, in the dish.
We wrote in kanji.
Kanji is a kind of Japanese writing.
We wrote the kanji that means “Japan.”

George shows off his dish.

After we made the pot, we looked around.
The community center had other rooms.
We looked in some rooms.
One room had tables.
On the tables were things that people had made with their hands.
George met some friends on one table.
He met a black cat and some rabbits.
I took his picture for you to see.
