Teteshapi the potter, paints her story

One day, Teteshapi went missing from her parent's house to wander the city, and she came into the pottery shop. The potter knew her and asked if her parents knew where she was, but she said that they had told her to come here and learn what it is to be a potter.

The potter doubted this story, but her family had always been good to him, so he gave her a spot at the workbench and showed her how to prepare the clay. Teteshapi quite liked rolling out snakes of clay to spiral into pots, and enjoyed kicking the wheel into motion, though it was quite too much to use it with the clay.

When he showed her the glazes, she asked why the only colors that he had were black and white. If only there were more options so that she could decorate!
