The document summarizes the job of a ceramist. The ceramist made ceramic objects like tiles, figures, and tableware using clay, a potter's wheel, oven, and wooden sticks for decorating. He worked alone in his workshop from 7 AM until sunset each day, taking orders from villagers. Though the work was not physically difficult as he sat most of the day, it earned him a modest income. He enjoyed creating useful objects and occasionally bartered his pieces for other goods. His family assisted him in the workshop that had been passed down from his father.
