Potter

A potter — shaping clay on the wheel — often touches constant employment with satisfactory results and pleasant engagements. The dream may ask where patient, hands-on craft is steadily forming something useful, and whether you can find the quiet satisfaction of the maker in work that keeps you occupied and turns out well.

Miller 1901
