My first polymer clay

Recently, we've committed to visiting the healthy number of Sharjah museums. Today, with the pottery class beckoning, we headed over to the Sharjah Archeological museum - the place was roomy and very informative! I love seeing the dioramas about the different burial sites; a very good glimpse into the UAE's past. (As a kid, I loved visiting the Makati with the dioramas of Philippine history and as an adult, in recent years, I made a point of visiting it again!). We were told that they sometimes arrange site visits to the digs – that would be fun. We signed up for the alerts, hopefully it's something they'll organize while the weather is still fabulous!There was also a pottery class too. First, there was a short talk on pottery and its use in the olden times as well as the styles of making them. After that, we were treated to a hands-on session  had a terracotta session (it was actually polymer clay: Sculpey Original terracotta) where we fashioned our own mini jars. Nice eh?
