Start Here with Artifact Studio
Your Pinterest boards are stuffed full of clay tips, reels, studio setups and mugs.
You've saved all the reels and now you're wondering if it's too messy or too hard to start.
Hi!
I'm Elizabeth, potter of 5 years and here to help you create beautiful makes without the expensive equipment or studio membership.
Whether you've never touched clay or you're exploring new areas, this is for you.
Where do you start?
Here’s what I recommend:
1. Start with a Small Win
Not sure what to make first? I’ve got a free step-by-step tutorial to help you create a hanging clay snowdrop. It’s a gentle intro project, no fancy tools needed.
2. Explore the Basics
If you're new, here's what will help you the most:
- A short guide to what tools you need (hint: you already own some)
- Understanding how clay dries and why that matters
- A few techniques like pinching, slipping, and scoring that are game-changers from the start
Good news, I share all of this on my Instagram and through my tutorials and templates.
3. Follow Along, Even When You’re Not Making
Not every season is for producing. But if you’re in a watch-and-learn phase, I’ve got reels, stories, and blog posts that will build your confidence quietly until you’re ready to dive in.
Sign up to my email list for tips, tricks and free tutorials.
4. Take It Slow, Keep It Playful
You don't need a studio of loads of equipment to start, just start.
