Homestead Heritage: Pottery

This is a continuation of our homeschool group field trip in Waco, Texas to Homestead Heritage touring different workshops. Here we visited the pottery shop:

 the beautiful brown and copper tones seen in pottery like this tea set:
There were many other beautiful pottery colors available as well, like this deep blue:


This is a class I would love to take, though I'm sure my product wouldn't look as nice as some of these!
