==Overview==

 
POTTER
  
Potters create a multitude of everyday and unique items for the Firan 
people. Amphoras, cups, vases, bottles, pitchers, etc. While it is 
possible to sell these items to the market, and indeed, we encourage
craftspeople to sell their creative wares for the everyday Firan to 
purchase, their best source of income is going to be in gaining 
commissions from nobles to create ceramic ware for them.
 
Potters are usually commoners, who either work out of their home or
have a studio, if they are lucky enough to have a sponsor that would
lend them enough money for one.

==Equipment==
A potter requires clay, fire and potter's tools in order to throw (make) their pieces. Firewood can be purchased from the market or collected from the public landfall. Clay can also be purchased from the market, or mined from the earth. A carpenter can make a set of potter's tools or, they can be purchased as well. It's preferable to have a permanent place in which to create pottery, as the tools are very heavy!

==Attributes and Skills==
'''ATTRIBUTES: COORDINATION''' Shaping wet clay upon a spinning wheel, and cutting and painting designs into potter requires a great deal of eye-hand coordination. The more coordinated you are, the better your pieces will be, generally speaking.


'''ATTRIBUTES: CREATIVITY''' A creative individual will find their unique pieces in demand! A high creativity attribute will give you better chances at making high quality pottery.


'''SKILLS: POTTERY''' This is the skill that will allow you to make items from clay. Check out @products/pottery then @products <item> to see the required ingredients, tools, and difficulty level.

==Suggested Roleplay Ideas==
*Team up with a carpenter and advertise your services for redecorating/refurbishing homes.

*Make a spectacular piece or set for display in a gallery.

*Hold regular "pottery wheels." Essentially a sewing circle where you meet with other potters and discuss the trade, teach or learn new techniques, and plan out future projects.
