Pottery

You can create container, statuettes, and plates out of clay using the pottery skill.

Tools

• A pottery table
• Clay (wet or dry)
• Sand
• A drying rack or kiln
• A number of containers

Steps

Gathering Clay

• You can gather either wet or dry clay, as well as sand for the tempering step
• Wet clay can be found in locations with shallow water. You will need a waterproof container like a barrel or cask.
• Dry clay must first be exposed (by digging) in mountains or hilly areas with dirt.
• In order to use dry clay, you must add water to it on a pottery table and then knead they clay until it is worked in

Tempered Wet Clay

• Once you have a lump of wet clay, you must shape it into a disk before adding sand to temper it
• With a clay disk, you can add sand (you'll have to discover the correct proportion) to the worktable
• Then you must knead the disk to add the sand to it. You will end up with a lump of tempered wet clay.

Shaping

• Tempered clay must be shaped into the rough form of the item you want to make. These rough forms include containers, statuettes, and dishes

Working the Clay

• The rough clay must be worked in detail to get the finished product.
• Various details will be available after this stage, like decorating and scoring (not implemented yet)
