Chapter 939 - 939: Pottery Date (1/2)

When they entered the classroom, there were not many people in the classroom. The staff showed their place. Then she left.

The people in the classroom consisted of three women and 4 four men. One of the men approached them with a smile. Yu Qi assumed that he was the teacher who would teach them. And her assumption was correct.

”Welcome to our pottery class. Have you tried the pottery before?” The man, Gu Hao, greeted the newcomers into his class.

”Hello. It is our first time. Please teach us..” Yu Qi said.

”Okay... okay... I assume that you must be a couple, right?” Gu Hao said.

”Yeah.” Yu Qi nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks.

”I bet so. It has becomes so popular among the young couple to try the pottery together.” Gu Hao gave a small laugh.

After that, Gu Hao started to explain the pottery to them. The basic things for making the pottery were clay, pottery wheel and kiln.

There was three types of clays that could be used on making the pottery. Stoneware clay, earthenware clay and porcelain clay, these three clays were used for different purposes and had their own methods as such their firing temperatures as well as water absorption and shrinkage percentages.

Since both Yu Qi and Long Hui were the beginners, Gu Hao suggested that they could use the stoneware clay because it was most versatile and easiest to work with. It also came in a variety of colours from white to dark brown.

So, Gu Hao showed the methods to mix the clay with the water properly. After showing it to them, Gu Hao gave the chance to the couple to try by themselves.

Yu Qi mixed the clay and the water. On her first try, Gu Hao told her that the mixture had over water. So, Yu Qi needed to start again. She did the process a second time.

Meanwhile, for Long Hui, he successfully mixed the mixture very well on his first try.

”Brother Hui, you probably have talent in the pottery.” Yu Qi chuckled.

Long Hui just smiled hearing the praise given by his fiance.

The next step in the pottery was to make the shape of the clay. So, they put the clay on the pottery wheel. It was possible to not using the pottery wheel however, without it, the shape could be limited.

Using the wheel pottery, the maker could unleash their imagination on making the shape of the clay.

Yu Qi and Long Hui wanted to make a Japanese teacup and a vase. Both of them would exchange their creation among them.
