Some sketches of a Twowi pottery workshop. Ceramic is an ancient craft in this region, with folklore positing that the first artisans fired their clay in the firey bowls of volcanoes. Nowadays, they do use kilns, often adorned with a simple effigy of the earth mother, who crafted the first birgs from earth, water, and fire in Twowi myth. This workshop produces mainly everyday bowls and vessels, but a couple of the crafters specialize in producing funeral pots.

Also shown is a transaction between the artisan clan and the merchants that supply them with fine clays and transport their wares to storagehouses for further distribution. Special glass beads minted and distributed by the Head Clan each half-year are exchanged as a sort of receipt.
