Craft decorated pots from your sherds and build a gallery with a story.
Four sherds make one pot. Arrange them right and the pictures tell a story. Arrange them wrong… still cool.

What you’ll build
Turn your sherds into decorated pots, each side showing its own picture. Build a sandstone gallery with a plinth and lantern for every pot. Line them up so the pictures tell a story from left to right, then walk a visitor through the explorer's tale.
Finish line: Your gallery of decorated pots tells a story, and you've guided a visitor through it.
Bonus challenge: Hide a clue chest under the floor below one pot. Can a visitor work out which pot is guarding it from the pictures alone?
You’ll need

You choose
- My gallery's name

- Plinth style: sandstone, terracotta or
Stuck?
- A pot takes 4 sherds or bricks placed top, left, right and bottom on the crafting grid. Bricks leave a side plain.
- Bricks come from smelting clay balls in a furnace. One clay ball makes one brick.
- Pots break if hit, so keep the gallery bright and mob-free and don't swing near them.
