A brief history: Prior to the coming of Europeans, the peoples of both the North and South American continents had a wide variety of pottery traditions. However, there is no evidence that a Native American potter ever invented the potter’s wheel. Because of this, all known Pre-Columbian American pottery was made entirely by hand, using a number of traditional techniques. These include sculptural modeling, press molding, coiling, and paddling. Functional pottery objects were produced by many cultures, as were figurines, masks, and ritual items. ~ wiki

I had a wonderful time with my niece Courtney this summer. She had been staying with us for the last 3 weeks and is 9 years old. She is my husband’s sister’s kid and we got to do all kinds of things together. We went to the pottery studio, the neighborhood pool, watched lots of movies and took her up to the mountains where we saw deer & bear and got to spend lots of time hiking and at the lake’s beach. Courtney also got to go to Zoo Camp in Atlanta, which she loved. Here are some pics of her from when we got to do some paintings on the front porch. She also helped me paint a mural on my porch floor, it says, “Happy Heart, Happy Home”. There were some challenges as with all kids I suppose, but we got through it.
