Another day goes by having to deal with being a Potter. A lot of kitchens had plenty of pottery. I made bowls,mugs,and jugs that colonist needed. I settled in a town where there were people needing my wares. When I make pot I use the same clay as the brick maker. When I add sand to the clay it became stronger. Every time I was ready to throw pots,I work the clay to get any air bubbles out. Next,I throw the clay on to the Potter’s Wheel. I pumped the wheel’s foot pedal to make it spin. Each had to be bone dry before firing in the kiln. Once baked,the pots had to dry slowly so as not to crack. Being a Potter isn’t that difficult. I actually enjoy it!!
