00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Miss Gene here with today's mini adventure. Do you like

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>making things? Do you like getting your hands dirty? Well,

3
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>if you said yes to both of those questions, then

4
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>pottery might be a great hobby for you. This summer

5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 1>at Camp Hattie had a small pottery activity. The campers

6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>seemed to like it, and this has camp director Joyce

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Holt thinking about creating a pottery activity station. Let's join

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Misshold for a research and session in today's mini adventure

9
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>called Centered.

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And where does the pedal go?

11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Joyce? I have to spreadsheets? Oh is that? Uh? What

12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 3>is that?

13
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a pottery wheel.

14
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's what I was going to say. But in

15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 3>your office pottery is messy though.

16
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 4>Well we're about to find out. Uh, it's all right,

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 4>mass Simon. I'm just test driving this pottery wheel. I

18
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 4>want to see if it would be a good station

19
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 4>activity for next summer camp.

20
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 3>I see, well, I'll put the spreadsheet on your desk

21
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>and be on my way.

22
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh, mister Simon, can you plug in the pedal?

23
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

24
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh it works. Now let me try the pedal. It's spinning.

25
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh this is going to be so much.

26
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 3>But Joyce, have you used a pottery wheel before?

27
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>No, but it looks so graceful.

28
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Graceful.

29
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I watched some YouTube tutorials.

30
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I see well. Uh, I think I'll stay and watch

31
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 3>how this goes camp director Joyce.

32
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 5>Here's the bucket of water.

33
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Perfect, Natalia. Set it right here next to the wheel.

34
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Ooh, it's spinning. Now, sure is?

35
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Have you used a pottery wheel before?

36
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 5>No, but I've always wanted to.

37
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Now, first we take out the clay.

38
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 5>Why is it wrapped in plastic?

39
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, clay drives when left uncovered. Now it's nice and malleable.

40
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 5>Now map malleable.

41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>It's soft and can be shaped. Here fill it?

42
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 5>Ooh, squishy.

43
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>So now we put the clay on the wheel and wait,

44
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>there's something else.

45
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Water, Otherwise the clay will stick.

46
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, pour the water.

47
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Je still a little, or it'll spin and fly right off.

48
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay there now here goes.

49
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Ease your foot off the pedal. You're spinning awfully fast.

50
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh good idea. Now I put the clay on whoa,

51
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, whoa. I just need to center the clay.

52
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 3>Ease up on the foot pedal. There you go, nice

53
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>and slow.

54
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's better, but the clay is wobbling.

55
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Put a little water on your hands in gentle pressure.

56
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 5>It's not wobbling.

57
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Clay is centered now, Ah, now I can shape it.

58
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 5>What are you gonna make?

59
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 2>How about a vase?

60
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 3>You sure?

61
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I put a little water and then a little

62
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>more speed and careful, and the clay broke apart.

63
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Start over a little water, recenter. There you go.

64
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Now press down in the center.

65
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Not too far. You don't want to break through the

66
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 3>bottom break through.

67
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh you mean like that you made two vases.

68
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I made two lumps of clay.

69
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Try again, recenter.

70
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 4>Okay, the clay isn't cooperating as easily.

71
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 3>No, clay has a memory. It likes to go back

72
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 3>to its previous.

73
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Shape, kind of like us.

74
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we do have a tendency to go back to

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 3>our old ways, don't we.

76
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but some water and shaping. Ah, there we're centered again.

77
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Now, gentle, you are the potter. The clay yields to

78
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 3>your hands.

79
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 5>Can you teach me, miss Holt.

80
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 4>I'd love to, Natalia, but I still have no idea

81
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 4>what I'm doing.

82
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Water, that's the most important tool of potter.

83
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Has Okay, water and gentle.

84
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Pressure, gentle, steady pushing.

85
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Down in the center.

86
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh I did it this time, it looks like a

87
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 5>tiny bone. Now it does.

88
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Now to make a vase, I press and lift the

89
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 4>clay upwards while the will spins.

90
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not as easy as it sounds.

91
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw the video and you do this and.

92
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, the clay broke.

93
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 2>This is way harder than the videos made it look.

94
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's because the potters in those videos have years

95
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 3>of experience. You're just starting, true.

96
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Alrie Center or mister Simon, can you show me?

97
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I.

98
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>You know what to do. I can tell from your instructions.

99
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 5>Are you potter, mister Simon, Well, no, I'm not.

100
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>But my late wife loved pottery. She was very good

101
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 3>at it.

102
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's sweet. And you use the will too once

103
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 2>in a while.

104
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>It's been a very long time.

105
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, the will's yours. Would you like to try? I yes,

106
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I would, mister Simon.

107
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, not too fast. Water clay you're centered and a vase?

108
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 5>Yes, please?

109
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, pushing in the center. Now there's a shallow hole. Nice,

110
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 3>and this is how you lift the sides. Let's see

111
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 3>if I can do this nice and slow.

112
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 5>Mister Simon. It's so nice.

113
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 3>They're a vase shape. I tellia watch and I'll show

114
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 3>you how to make decorations. I want to learn too,

115
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 3>of course, of course.

116
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 5>Can we make a flower on the side a flower?

117
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 3>H I don't know, but I can make lines, so stripes.

118
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, nice.

119
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 3>There we go. What do you think?

120
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

121
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I love it?

122
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Well? I sure enjoyed that. I always think of creation

123
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 3>at the pottery wheel.

124
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 5>Creation of the world.

125
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but specifically when God created us humans, he shaped

126
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 3>us from dirt and dust from clay.

127
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah.

128
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 3>And God's still shaping us even now. And the Holy

129
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Spirit is like the water you said.

130
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 5>The water is the potter's most important tool.

131
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>And the Holy Spirit is most important in helping us

132
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 3>to shape our lives. He guides us and makes change possible.

133
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Mister Simon, I think we should get some pottery wheels

134
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 4>for camp.

135
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 2>That's a great faith exercise.

136
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Good idea camp director.

137
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't even messy.

138
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 5>Can I try the wheel now? Yeah?

139
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Sure, matellia.

140
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay, careful, not too fast.

141
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>The clayful it's everywhere.

142
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 3>Not even huh.

143
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh, mister Simon, there's clay everywhere, even in.

144
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Your hair, in my hair. Now what will we do?

145
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Clean up?

146
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 3>And I'll help? That was my job when my wife

147
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 3>made pottery too.

148
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll get them off.

149
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like Camper's will get their turn with a

150
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>pottery wheel next summer, and hopefully it won't be as

151
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>messy as today's adventure was. We are like clay, and God.

152
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Is the potter.

153
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah sixty four, verse eight says this. But now, oh Lord,

154
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you are our father. We are the clay, and you

155
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 1>our potter. God formed humans, and he continues to shape

156
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 1>our lives by the Holy Spirit. I'm glad that when

157
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.000
