15th October 2003Dear Students: Today we saw some beautiful Chinese pottery. We saw a painted vase from Kansu which was made in the year 2,500 B.C. The most famous Chinese ceramics are made from Porcelain Clay, but they also make ceramics from Stoneware and Earthenware clay. The pots are decorated with beautifully simple shapes and lines, and are glazed with rich colours. Hope you are all well.
P. S. See you next year. Pham

Dear Students:
Korea and Vietnam have been
making Ceramic pots for as long as China. The
Ceramics of Korea are well known for their
strong brush decoration and natural forms. You
can see flowers, flying birds and fish on their
pots. The countryside here is very beautiful.
Love from Pham
P.S. When I see you next year
you will be in high school.

3rd November 2003Dear Students: It is very hot here in Mexico and there are many people in the cities. we have seen lots of small sculptures made from gold and silver. Most of the old pottery we have seen is hand built, as the Mayan and Aztec potters had no knowledge of the pottery wheel. The Potters used the Coil method or formed the clay over moulds.
