I can tell you about a spot in my community. Medalta.

Before we went to Medalta we talked about history (things that happened before we were born) and some different things that are made from clay like bricks, plates, and crocks. We watched this video to show us how they took the rocks from the hills and brought it to Medalta to be made into clay: 





The old part of the factory that turned rocks into clay. This is how they moved the heavy rocks up to the top.

Experiencing clay first hand!


Lots to see!
