In the world of art and clay,
There are many things to make and say.
A pattern here, a cast there,
Creativity beyond compare.

A mural can tell a story,
In colors bright and sometimes gory.
A kiln will fire and heat,
To make your masterpiece complete.

A pottery wheel will spin and turn,
As you mold and shape and learn.
And on a loom, you can weave,
A tapestry that will make you believe.

Ceramic is the material we use,
To make all kinds of things, it's true.
And when we break it into pieces,
A mosaic can be formed with ease.

So let your imagination run wild,
Create something that will make you smile.
With these tools and your own two hands,
You'll make art that will light up the lands.
