What happens before the potter sits at the wheel to throw his first pot of the day?
• The General Store needs mugs to sell! Find out for the potter: How many? What kind? Prepare clay for molding a mug (as much fun as playing in the mud!), and then shape a clay piece of your own for the potter’s approval.

Color Camp: Dyer’s Apprentice | June 22 (THIS EVENT HAS PASSED)
Where does the dyer find the rainbow of colors for the dye pots?
