First a potter’s clay was dug up by hand. Then rocks and debris were removed to create a smooth product. The clay would, then, be kneaded. Watery clay could be added to the clay to keep it moist and workable. Next, the potter would bake the newly formed pot in the kiln. Finally, the potter would decorate the pot.

Colonial Potters made decorative pots. Pots were used as decoration and for storing things.
A piece of sharpened bone, a stick, or an antler might be used to make markings in the clay.
