Back then I would like to work in pottery,because clay is fun to play with, you can make it in to any shape you want.

In colonial kitchens they had enough pottery . The potter made jugs ,mugs, and bowls that their people used every day. potters settled in towns where people needed their wares.

Clay was required in making pots. Most times the potters used the same clay that brick makers would .Potters cleaned the clay then added some sand to temper it. by adding the sand, the clay got stronger.

After that the potter threw the clay in the potters wheel. The potter had to pump the wheels foot pedal to make it spin.

Each piece had to be dry before baking it.

That is  why I want to be a potter.
