- Okay. (foot switch clicks)
(clay sloshing)
Oh, gah-- (laughs) - Mm hmm.
(peaceful classical music)
- Hi! - Hi!
- My name is Micah, what's your name?
- My name's Lynn (laughs).
- Nice to meet you, Lynn. - Nice to meet you, too.
- I always wanted to do pottery,
so this is one of my dream that come true.
- Wow, that's exciting!
What do you think this is?
- I step on this and then
while that's spinning we shape it out.
That's going to make a teapot or something.
- I can make a doll.
It's gonna be named Bon-Bon.
- You wanna give it a shot? - Sure.
- Okay.
(clay thuds) - Perfect.
(wheel creaking)
- I can touch that? - Yeah.
- Sticky. - Ew.
- It looks like you've done this before.
- [Girl] I never actually did this before.
- Whoa (laughs). (clay clatters)
- Can I do it?
- [Woman] Um--
(clay clatters) (laughing)
Okay, let's stop it. (laughing)
- Am I doing this right? - Sarah!
- It's a different technique
than I've seen before, I don't know.
Do you want me to show you how it's done?
- Yeah. - Alright, let's trade seats.
- Okay.
- I want the clay to stick to the wheel.
(clay thuds) So let's just
stick it on like that.
- How do you make a doll?
- I'll show you.
I'll make a pot that looks like a doll.
How 'bout that? - Yeah.
- OK, so I'm putting one hand on the outside,
and I'm gonna curl my finger
right into the middle. - Whoa!
- Looks cool.
- So now I'm gonna cross my hands together
and make a butterfly.
And I put one hand on the outside
and one hand on the inside,
and I start pulling up with both of my hands together.
- Why are you so good at this?
- I've been practicing it for a very long time.
I went to school for it,
I studied it in college.
- I never went to college
'cause I'm just a little kid right now.
- Yeah, yeah. - In second grade.
- So what do you think,
does this look like a good doll?
- Yeah, we need the hair.
- [Woman] There we go.
What should her name be?
- Rapunzel.
My turn to make it.
(clay thudding)
- [Girl] I need help.
- Maybe we should try with a little bit bigger.
- Okay. (foot switch clicks)
(clay sloshing)
Oh, gah-- (laughs) - Mm hmm.
- This is very fast.
- (laughs) It's turning into like, an omelet.
(laughing)
- Here, I'll slow it down a little for ya.
- This is not working so good.
Can you help me please?
- So you wanna push your finger into it.
You gotta push pretty hard.
- [Girl] I feel like I'm dipping my hand in poop.
- How do you know what it feels like?
- Because it's soupy.
(laughs) - Soupy?
- It feels like a wormhole pulling my finger into doom.
- [Woman] Are you scared?
- No. (laughs)
I know I won't fall in.
- A butterfly. (laughing)
It got a little more up.
- [Woman] Yeah, it is, it's getting taller.
- [Boy] Yes (gasps).
- [Woman] Whoa!
- No! (laughing)
I was so close.
- The nice thing about clay is that--
- You can rebuild it. - Exactly.
- Done! - That looks great!
What'd you make?
- A doll dress.
Done, tah-dah!
Bon-Bon.
- [Woman] Good job.
- Thank you.
I can't wait to see yours. - Aww.
- I'm planning on turning it into a vase,
for my mom.
- [Woman] Oh, that's nice.
- Actually can you make cups outta these?
- Mm hmm! - Yes, then I'm making a cup.
- You're making a cup?
So what are you gonna make?
- Not telling you, it's not--
It's supposed to be a surprise.
- Oh, okay. (laughing)
- How's it feel? - Wavy.
- [Woman] Mm, that's great.
- Can you see this?
'Cause it actually looks so good.
- Okay, stop for a minute.
Too fast. - That's what I want.
- Are you gonna make a teapot? (laughing)
- No! - A dragon?
- No. - So are you just exploring
how it feels right now?
- I don't know what I'm making,
I'm just doing what I think I'm doing.
- So you wanna make it into a handle, right?
So you just roll it between your hands like that.
- Good (hands whooshing)
- Yeah!
- Yes!
- I'm just doing a little wider on both sides.
- [Woman] Okay, that's a good idea.
- [Girl] Yeah.
- [Boy] Butterfly.
- Yeah. - Mm hmm.
- That's here, that's doing it up.
- [Boy] It's making it bigger, too.
- [Woman] It is.
- It's really cute now. - It is cute.
It looks like an upside-down top hat.
- Oh, I never actually thought of it that way.
- I could put flowers in it.
I can drop my legos inside of it.
I can mostly do anything with it.
- That's awesome. - Thank you.
I'm gonna draw legos on it.
And my name, that way nobody like,
Lynn over here,
will steal it.
- Yes.
- [Woman] What are you gonna drink out of it?
- Uh, chocolate milk.
- Now do I go put this in the oven?
- Yeah. - For like, how long?
- Um, for two days.
Mm hmm. - Heat it up for two days?
- Mm hmm, it takes,
one day for it to heat up,
and then one day for it to cool back down.
- Here, masterpieces. - With--
It's kind of like a telescope.
(laughs) (gasps)
I put it on my hair, do I look handsome?
- [Woman] You look really handsome.
- Thank you for helping me making
a cup (laughs). - Well you're very welcome.
Was it fun? - Yeah!
- Dirty high-five. - Ew! (laughs)
- It's nice to meet you, Lynn. - It was nice to meet you too.
(children screaming)
(screaming)
(laughing)
- (screaming) What is that?
- A rotten egg!
- Pig's blood?
- It's coconut.
