In the whimsical state of Wisconsin, a place bursting with rolling green landscapes, towering forests, and sparkling lakes, there exists a unique group of kids. These are the kind of kids who love to get their hands dirty, and not from playing in the mud, but from diving into the magical world of pottery. See, in Wisconsin, the cows don't just give milk; they have secret, mystical powers that turn ordinary clay into the most extraordinary pottery pieces. And our cool imaginary character, Morris, a four-foot-tall, salsa-dancing squirrel, is the pottery guide of this fantastic journey. Morris wears glasses as round as pottery wheels with lenses so thick, he can see the hidden talents in every kid. With a paintbrush always stuck behind his ear and a polka-dot apron that reaches his fluffy tail, Morris guides the Wisconsin kids through the enchanting pottery world, showing them how to make the wildest and silliest pottery pieces. There's laughter and giggles echoing in the pottery barn as kids mould clay into shapes as unique as unicorn-horn mugs and rainbow-tailed teapots. The more the hands squish and squash, squeeze and knead, the bigger the grins on their faces become. And even when the pottery wheel spins wilder than Morris's salsa twirls, sending clay blobs flying around, they giggle and cheer because, in Wisconsin, pottery isn't just about creating masterpieces. It's about having a splendidly, muddy good time with friends and a salsa-dancing squirrel named Morris.
