Potter

View this career for different education levels:

Being a potter means you get to play with clay and make all sorts of wonderful things! You use your hands and special tools to shape wet clay into bowls, mugs, plates, sculptures, or even tiles. Once you have shaped your clay, it needs to dry a bit before it goes into a very hot oven called a kiln. This makes the clay hard and strong. After the first bake, you might paint your creations with special glazes, which are like colourful liquid glass. Then, they go back into the kiln for another bake, which makes them shiny and colourful, and safe to use for food or just to look at. Potters need to be patient, artistic, and enjoy working with their hands to turn a lump of clay into a beautiful piece of art.
