Skara Clay!

Yesterday we created our own Skara Brae clay pots.  We moulded some clay into pot or bowl shapes and then we decorated them with our own pattern.  We did this because we think that each house at Skara Brae would have had it’s own pattern on any pottery so that it did not get mixed up with other people’s pottery.  We used lots of different objects to make our unique patterns.  We also made sure we imprinted our thumb well into the pot just like the one found at Skara Brae.  We were thinking that maybe in the future someone might discover our pottery and wonder how we made it and what we were like!
