Pottery

The ancient Greeks are known for there pottery

(You will need a kiln)

Make your own pot by getting Clay you can make a pinch pot or a coil pot (if you make a coil pot you will need to score the coil) put a design on it. After the pot is made put it on a cart for about 3 weeks to a Month DO NOT TOUCH THE POT!!!!!!!!!! If you bump the pot it will shatter. Put the pot into the kiln.
When it is done in the kiln paint it with glaze ether as a red figure (red figure is the design is red) or a black figure( black figure is the design is black) make sure ther is at least 3 cotes of the glaze. DO NOT LET THE GLAZES MIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put it back in the kiln. When it comes out it will make a beautiful Greek Pot. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK OUT OF IT!!!!!!
