Pottery

Pottery is a craft activity that allows you to make a range of ceramic items in a pottery. The items can be stained with patterns and glazed, before being fired in a kiln to finish the product. Items include plates, bowls, vases and smoke bomb canisters.

Contents

[edit] Where and What

Potteries are available for use in numerous locations, such as Cockbill Street in western Ankh-Morpork, the Ninja guild in Bes Pelargic, the Sung estate in Bes Pelargic, the Royal Market in Sto Lat and Chronides farmstead south of Ephebe.

Clay is required for each attempt at making an item, it is consumed upon failure of either throwing or shaping. Clay can often be found via searching, or purchased.

[edit] Available options

Possible items, glazes and staining patterns vary based on the pottery table available - it is possible to create an item at one location, stain it at another and glaze it at yet another...

"Syntax mould", "syntax stain", and "syntax glaze" will give you lists of the available items, stain patterns and colours, and glaze colours you can get for any particular spot.

These are the things you can "mould" on the different wheels.
