• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Well we're about to find out. Uh, it's all right,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: mass Simon. I'm just test driving this pottery wheel. I

  Speaker 4: activity for next summer camp.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I see, well, I'll put the spreadsheet on your desk
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and be on my way.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, mister Simon, can you plug in the pedal?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Oh it works. Now let me try the pedal. It's spinning.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Oh this is going to be so much.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: But Joyce, have you used a pottery wheel before?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: No, but it looks so graceful.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Graceful.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched some YouTube tutorials.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I see well. Uh, I think I'll stay and watch
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: how this goes camp director Joyce.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Here's the bucket of water.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Perfect, Natalia. Set it right here next to the wheel.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Ooh, it's spinning. Now, sure is?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Have you used a pottery wheel before?
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: No, but I've always wanted to.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now, first we take out the clay.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Why is it wrapped in plastic?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Well, clay drives when left uncovered. Now it's nice and malleable.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Now map malleable.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It's soft and can be shaped. Here fill it?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Ooh, squishy.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So now we put the clay on the wheel and wait,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: there's something else.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Water, Otherwise the clay will stick.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, pour the water.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Je still a little, or it'll spin and fly right off.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Oh okay there now here goes.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Ease your foot off the pedal. You're spinning awfully fast.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh good idea. Now I put the clay on whoa,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, whoa. I just need to center the clay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Ease up on the foot pedal. There you go, nice
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: and slow.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Oh that's better, but the clay is wobbling.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Put a little water on your hands in gentle pressure.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: It's not wobbling.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Clay is centered now, Ah, now I can shape it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: What are you gonna make?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: How about a vase?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You sure?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I put a little water and then a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: more speed and careful, and the clay broke apart.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Start over a little water, recenter. There you go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now press down in the center.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Not too far. You don't want to break through the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: bottom break through.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Oh you mean like that you made two vases.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I made two lumps of clay.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Try again, recenter.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, the clay isn't cooperating as easily.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: No, clay has a memory. It likes to go back
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to its previous.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Shape, kind of like us.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, we do have a tendency to go back to
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: our old ways, don't we.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but some water and shaping. Ah, there we're centered again.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Now, gentle, you are the potter. The clay yields to
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: your hands.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Can you teach me, miss Holt.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I'd love to, Natalia, but I still have no idea
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: what I'm doing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Water, that's the most important tool of potter.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Has Okay, water and gentle.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Pressure, gentle, steady pushing.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Down in the center.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Oh I did it this time, it looks like a
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: tiny bone. Now it does.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Now to make a vase, I press and lift the
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: clay upwards while the will spins.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It's not as easy as it sounds.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I saw the video and you do this and.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Oh no, the clay broke.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: This is way harder than the videos made it look.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because the potters in those videos have years
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of experience. You're just starting, true.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Alrie Center or mister Simon, can you show me?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, I.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You know what to do. I can tell from your instructions.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Are you potter, mister Simon, Well, no, I'm not.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: But my late wife loved pottery. She was very good
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: at it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Oh that's sweet. And you use the will too once
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in a while.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It's been a very long time.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Well, the will's yours. Would you like to try? I yes,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think I would, mister Simon.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, not too fast. Water clay you're centered and a vase?
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, please?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, pushing in the center. Now there's a shallow hole. Nice,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and this is how you lift the sides. Let's see
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: if I can do this nice and slow.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Mister Simon. It's so nice.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: They're a vase shape. I tellia watch and I'll show
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: you how to make decorations. I want to learn too,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: of course, of course.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Can we make a flower on the side a flower?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: H I don't know, but I can make lines, so stripes.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, nice.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: There we go. What do you think?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I love it?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Well? I sure enjoyed that. I always think of creation
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: at the pottery wheel.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Creation of the world.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, but specifically when God created us humans, he shaped
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: us from dirt and dust from clay.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And God's still shaping us even now. And the Holy
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Spirit is like the water you said.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: The water is the potter's most important tool.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And the Holy Spirit is most important in helping us
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: to shape our lives. He guides us and makes change possible.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Mister Simon, I think we should get some pottery wheels
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: for camp.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: That's a great faith exercise.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Good idea camp director.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't even messy.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Can I try the wheel now? Yeah?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Sure, matellia.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, careful, not too fast.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: The clayful it's everywhere.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Not even huh.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, mister Simon, there's clay everywhere, even in.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Your hair, in my hair. Now what will we do?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Clean up?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: And I'll help? That was my job when my wife
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: made pottery too.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'll get them off.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It sounds like Camper's will get their turn with a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: pottery wheel next summer, and hopefully it won't be as
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: messy as today's adventure was. We are like clay, and God.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Is the potter.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Isaiah sixty four, verse eight says this. But now, oh Lord,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you are our father. We are the clay, and you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: our potter. God formed humans, and he continues to shape
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: our lives by the Holy Spirit. I'm glad that when
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: we break apart like clay on a potter's wheel, that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: God puts us back together again and shapes us for him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: God is a wonderful creator and recreator. I miss Jean,
