If I lived back in colonial times I would liked to have been a Potter.

 

A potter made bowls, mugs, jugs, and coffee cups that the colonist needed in their everyday lives. Potters settled in towns where people needed their wares.

 

 

     I would have liked to have started out in the colony Rhode Island. I think I would like s to be o potter because I love to go do things like that and to do arts and crafts.

 

I think i would have made good money like $1.oo for a pot or something like that. Each peice of pottery I made would have to be bone dry before firing in the kiln. Once baked,the pot had to dry slowly so as not to crack. The redware, also called pottery the had to be glazed with a special coating the coating was lead like in you pencil. I hope you learned a little more about colonial pottery today.
