Become a pottery wizard and make something to be proud of with these DIY pottery kits. Whether it is decorative or practical, there are so many wonderful things you can make from a pottery kit. Your end result can be a stunning ornament for a room or be a useful item to rely on. While the final product can be exciting to focus on, the crafting of the item itself is a great option if you’re looking for productive things to do at home.
Pottery is a common example of art therapy that can be very beneficial for anxiety and stress. Using a pottery kit at home is a fun and crafty activity to keep you entertained and relaxed. Moulding the clay with your hands and being creative is a great way to improve your mental wellbeing.
Each online pottery class comes with all the equipment needed and easy instructions to make your at home craft stress-free. These DIY kits are also good for Zoom date ideas with partners or friends that you might be missing, whilst also allowing you to stay safe and socially distant.
With so many opportunities to make something remarkable, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with brilliant ideas. So here is a simple list of five things you can make with a DIY pottery kit.

Mould a vase
A vase is a classic thing to make with your at-home pottery kit. Give a special touch to your floral arrangements, real or fake, and display them beautifully in a handmade jar. It really adds a charm to your home decor. DIY pottery also allows you to adjust the size and shape of your vase to your needs, rather than trawling the Internet for the perfect one.
The online class that comes alongside the materials will teach you the basics, but you can use the pottery tool kit to let your creative mind run wild. If you want a special 3D embellishment like your initials, you can add it on easily. Or if you have a specific location for your vase you can adjust the measurements so it fits perfectly in that space. It’s a fun way to spend your time at home and make something personal.
Make a personalised cup or mug
One practical use of your DIY pottery kit could be a cup or mug for your favourite hot drink. This can brighten up your morning cuppa as you enjoy every sip knowing your skilled hands made it possible. Having a constant reminder of your artistic abilities can really boost your confidence and prepare you for a good day, as well as inspire future creative endeavours.
Using the tools given in your DIY kit, you can easily create your favourite kind of mug. If it's a thin rim or a deep bowl you prefer, feel free to use the instructions in the live online classes to make yourself the perfect cup for all your needs. They also make great gifts! Personalise your fabulous creations to your loved one’s unique style or interests for a heartfelt, homemade present.
Design and decorate a bowl
A bowl is a perfect DIY pottery idea for beginners because it is so simple to make. If you’re after a functional dish to eat from, or a decorative display for your epic fruit arranging skills, the live online classes will guide you to the bowl of your dreams. Then enjoy your amazing accomplishment with pride every time you use it.
A bowl is also a great plain base that allows some creative and personal ceramic painting. Decorate it however you like with intricate illustrations or patterns, or something more simple. Painting is an excellent way to express yourself as well as being great at easing your mind. Plus it gives you something new to try if you’re looking for fun things to do when you're bored

Recreate your favourite things out of clay
Make some figurines of your favourite animals or film and TV characters with your at-home pottery kit. Revel in what brings you joy by hand-making models of the things you like, then display it at home to show off your interests. This could include enchanted creatures like gnomes or unicorns, or get really creative and make your own imaginary animal. It’s a fun way to spend your time in isolation and make something you love.
This would be a great Zoom date idea to learn more about your prospective partner and their interests while staying safe and remote. It really allows you to be creative and is a great topic to talk about if the conversation ever lags. As well as being a keepsake for your relationship.
Sculpt something amazing
One way to flex your artistic skills with your DIY pottery kit is to make a fancy sculpture worthy of an art gallery or exhibition. This is a great way to spend your time at home doing something challenging and exciting. Replicate a miniature version of an already existing famous sculpture like Michelangelo’s David or the Venus de Milo. Or come up with your own original idea for a sculpture. The live online class will teach you the necessary skills to use the materials and work with the pottery tool kit so that you can go off on your own clay adventure.
Sculptures are also really fun things to do in self isolation for you and whoever you live with. You and your pals can make a contest out of it! Compete to win ‘best copy of a sculpture’ or ‘most original idea’ and treasure your clay masterpiece as your well-deserved trophy. This also would be brilliant for Zoom date ideas, get your Demi Moore or Patrick Swayze on and work that clay into something beautiful.
There are so many great ways to personalise and adapt the pottery at-home kit for your own uses or wants, making it a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. It gives you time for yourself to enjoy something creative and also produce something that you can display in your home to inspire you for ages.
