In the heart of Bigfoot's backyard, also known as the charming state of Mississippi, there's a group of extraordinary kids with magic in their fingers. These kids aren't wizards or witches, oh no! They're the pottery prodigies of the state, turning lumps of clay into fantastic masterpieces, under the watchful eye of their mentor, Grandpa Slab. Ah, Grandpa Slab! A jolly old soul with a beard that looked like a potters' wheel spun out of cotton candy, and laughter that sounded like clay squishing through fingers. Legend has it that he once crafted a teapot so perfect that the Queen of England herself ordered a cuppa from it! From the tranquil banks of the Mississippi River to the vibrant streets of Jackson, the pottery kids of MS are a lively bunch. Their aprons, speckled with dried clay that looks suspiciously like the remnants of a mud pie fight, tell tales of their mischievous adventures. Don’t be fooled! Beneath the dirt and cheeky grins, they are as talented as they are playful, and their creations are as unique as their personalities. There's Billy, the mug maestro, who could mold an ordinary lump of clay into a mug so large that it could hold the Mississippi River. Sissy, the petite plate princess, known for her thin yet sturdy dinnerware that could withstand the wildest food fights. And of course, lanky Larry, whose towering vases were as tall as he was! Their laughter echoes through the state, a testament to the fun they have while spinning their potter's wheels. The ceramics students of Mississippi aren't just crafting pottery; they're shaping memories, one lump of clay at a time.
