Today while I was kneading the clay for the vase I had planned to make , something amazing happened ! A brick maker boy came in and grabbed the clay out of my hand . ugh! He used to be my friend but his father does not believe that woman should work outside their homes. Anyway I just grabbed some more clay and started the whole process again! Today the weather was even worse .I had to work inside my woodshed { house} .
Another day in the life of a potter . As a potter I have to make utensils and cookware . I am trying to pour the clay and cleaning it . Shaping the clay for the vase because after all I’m still trying to make it . Considering I’m only ten and I’m a girl it’s a little hard but I would rather do this than wash dishes like my mom.
Anyway just another day as a 10 year old girl in colonial times.
sincerely , Megan
