The Wise Potter And The Lump of Clay
  • Shall what is formed say to him who formed it,
    Why did you make me like this? Does not the
    potter have the right to make out of the same
    lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and
    some for common use?

  • Romans 920-21

The Facts, Please!
  • People who work with clay are called potters.
    The making of pottery is one of the earliest
    crafts of civilization. One of mans first
    inventions was the potters wheel.
  • The clay used in pottery has two characteristics
    It can be shaped (and retain its shape), and it
    hardens under a high temperature. In Bible
    times, clay was mixed with water and sifted to
    remove stones and other impurities. Then it was
    trampled until it was smooth and pliable. At the
    potters bench, more water was added until it was
    just right for molding.

More Facts, Please!
  • The earliest potters wheel consisted of a
    horizontal turntable made from wood, clay, or
    limestone It was turned by hand on an axle that
    pierced the working bench. One person turned the
    wheel, while another one shaped the clay. This
    was the kind of wheel Jeremiah saw when he went
    to the potters house.
  • About 200 B.C., a better wheel was invented,
    consisting of a larger second wheel on the bottom
    end of the axle. A potter could turn it with his
    feet and make the upper wheel turn as he molded
    the clay

More Facts, Please!
  • Sometimes air bubbles developed in the pottery,
    or it didnt come out just right. Then the
    potter would smash the clay flat and begin again.
  • After molding, pottery was air-dried and then
    hardened in a kiln that was fired to a very high
    temperature.
