Shape a pot on the wheel, choose a glaze, then fire it. The five steps below are the same ones a real pottery follows.

On the wheel: drag the pot itself to push the wall out or in; drag the background to look around.
Wet clay on the wheel. Press the clay out or in from inside; here you drag the wall.

Throwing, drying, a first firing, glazing and a second firing are the standard stages of making glazed pottery. Traditional Portuguese pottery regions each have their own clay, shapes and decoration: see the regions map to find out where.
