Year Released
2023. Released as part of the January 1st wave, marking a year of transition where LEGO began moving toward cardboard packaging for the CMF line.
Rarity
Common. As a CMF, she was produced in high quantities, though she were essentially 'blind bags' making specific acquisition dependent on feeling the pouch or buying from the secondary market.
Head
Yellow skin tone with a cheerful smiling expression and freckles. It features a unique Teal dual-molded headwrap (turban style) with a printed black leaf pattern.
Torso
Light Purple shirt with Medium Nougat overall straps and a front pocket containing printed sculpting tools. The back features continued overall strap printing.
Legs
Teal legs with Medium Nougat printing to represent the bottom of the apron/overalls, including realistic brown 'clay' smudges on the front.
Accessories
Two reddish-brown bowls/pots representing earthenware and a small green plant element (not pictured but originally included).
Color Scheme
A vibrant palette of Teal, Light Purple, and Medium Nougat, contrasting with classic LEGO Yellow skin.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Notable for the 360-degree wrap on the headpiece and the detailed 'messy' clay stains on the apron and legs which provide a realistic texture.
Variants
There are no official production variants of this specific figure, though torso and head parts have been used in 'Build-a-Minifigure' stations in LEGO stores.
Condition Notes
The Teal headwrap is a friction-fit piece; check for loose clutch. The Medium Nougat printing on the legs can be prone to scratches if played with on rough surfaces.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New (unassembled): $5.00 - $7.00 USD.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD (Retail price for one blind bag pouch).

Character Background

The headwrap is a masterpiece of modern molding, combining a specific texture with intricate print-alignment for the leaf pattern.
Similar Minifigures
Art Teacher (Series 4), Artist (Series 17), and various LEGO City inhabitants with craft-related hobbies.
Collectibility
Moderate. While common, she is highly desired by MOC builders for her unique Teal headwear and 'dirty' overalls which work well in workshop or garden scenes.
History
Part of the 24th standard installment of the CMF line. This series was one of the last to be sold in plastic 'feelable' bags before the switch to boxes.
Interesting Facts
The tools printed in her pocket include a wire cutter and a modeling tool, which are authentic instruments used by real-life ceramicists.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a craft room MOC or a village market scene. Pair with a spinning 'pottery wheel' built from a 2x2 round tile.
Modification Potential
The headwrap is highly valued for 'purist' customs of characters from diverse cultures or fantasy settings. The stained legs are great for gardeners or mechanics.
Overall Assessment
A charming, well-executed figure that showcases LEGO's ability to turn everyday professions into highly detailed, collectible art. Rating: 8/10.
