Ceramist: An ancient Greek profession!

Last Tuesday we have visited a traditional pottery lab. A ceramist have made a demonstration about traditional pottery.










In Greece pottery was very popular. People used to keep oil, water, and seeds in jars made from clay, that has been permanently hard by heat. Today we use ceramic for decoration.

We are the ceramists!

In museum

We went to museum last week on Wednesday. We listened about writing researches, what we do for finish the form 8, but which are involved wtih craft.
We learned how to find information and pictures and the other things for our works. We should search our old photoalbums and old clothes, beacause our researches are involved with our homeland - Hiiumaa. Our other classmates(who don't do the work with etwinning) don't do the research about craft, but they do thaht about things, what are involved with Hiiumaa, for example: Hiiumaa's lighthouses, coasts or whatever else, what is involved to Hiiumaa.
We also saw different parts of Hiiumaa's national clothes as you can see at the pictures what Siret put up in our blog :) .
We will go to museum again next Wednesday. Then we'll write again about that !

(I think, you should write about Greece/Spain and your schools too, like we did :) ).
