# Unless you have [[clay]] in your [[inventory]] you will need to locate a source of it.
## Clay is found on clay tiles, then [[digging|dig]] that tile to add clay into your inventory to use.
### If you have a low Digging Skill, you cannot dig on slopes. If this effects you you should find a flat source of clay, or drop Dirt on the lower corners to raise them up and reduce slope. (''See the [[Digging(tutorial)- Simplified|Digging Tutorial]] for more info'')
# In your inventory you will have a Body icon. By clicking the '+' symbols you can expand it out to see the various parts, you will need to activate either your left or right hand by double-clicking on Body > (right or left) arm > hand.
# With your hand active, right click the clay, Create > Containers > ([[#Items covered in this tutorial|select]] which container you want to make).
## If you want to improve the quality of your [[:Category:Pottery items|clay item]] now is the time. Examining it (right click, Examine) will tell you the current [[quality]], [[damage]] and what items are required to improve it. If you activate those items, right clicking your clay item will give you an Improve option. If you fail to improve it you will damage it.
### IMPORTANT - You can no improve the clay item after they are turned into pottery items. You should Improve it before you make the pottery item.
# Unless you have a [[kindling]] in your inventory you will need to make it. You will also need [[log]]s, [[peat]] or [[tar]] to fuel the fire once you have started it.
Once clay items are baked, they [[decay]] slower, but can't be improved or repaired anymore. In addition to all the above uses, pottery items can also be used to:
* '''Cooking:''' You can make hot food with a pottery bowl. Add things into your bowl and then put it into a oven, forge or campfire. For more detail see [[Hot-Food Cookinghot food cooking]].
* '''Creating a compass:''' You can create a [[compass]] with a pottery jar, a [[needle]] and [[olive oil]]. See [[compass]] for details.
