Clay Flutes

Skills used for whole process:

• crafts.pottery.forming.throwing
• crafts.pottery.forming.shaping
• crafts.pottery.staining - optional
• crafts.pottery.glazing - optional
• crafts.pottery.firing

The facilities provided to make clay tubes is in the pottery room, Ninjas Guild, Bes Pelargic. Potter's clay is readily available from Iki Banu's crafts room close by the pottery room and the tube moulding equipment is in there. The drawback of making the tubes is that it requires at least 270-275 cr.pot.fo.shaping bonus to [u]start to[/u] suceed.

The process is typically similar to making normal pottery after the clay tube part, the other pottery room available for non-Assassins is the pottery room in Cockbill St, West of Ankh-Morpork:

syntax make
make <tube> into {blowpipe|flute|flute-blowpipe)
syntax stain
stain <pottery> with {spot|stripe|ring|star|dollar|cabbage} in <colour>
syntax glaze
glaze <pottery> with <colour> glaze
syntax fire
fire <pottery> in kiln

NB:

• Must hold a tongs in one hand before you take pottery out from a kiln. Otherwise you'll burn your hand and drop your pottery, thus breaking your finished work.
• Cooling racks - placing hot pottery fresh from the kiln will dramatically speed up the cooling process, it's also doubles for drying freshly painted glazes and/or stains.
