You’re here because...

  • You’ve wanted to try making something with clay for ages but have no idea where to start.
  • You don’t want to spend hundreds on tools or set up a full studio just to make one bowl.
  • You’re worried you’ll mess it up and end up with a lumpy blob instead of something you’d actually use.
  • You want to make something you can hold in your hands and say, “I made this.”

Maybe you think you’re not creative enough (you are).

Maybe you think you need expensive in-person workshops (you don’t).

Or maybe...

You just need a step-by-step way to make beautiful pieces for your home, from a potter who knows exactly what it feels like to be a beginner.

Imagine this:

You’ve got your hands in clay, music playing, no pressure to make it perfect, just the joy of creating something real.

FAQ

Do I need a pottery wheel or fancy equipment?

Nope. You’ll be using hand-building techniques, meaning your hands do most of the work.

All you’ll need are a few simple tools (which I’ll show you) and a small space to work. To get your work fully glazed and finished, you will need access to a kiln. Often students can pay a small fee at a local pottery studio to put their pieces in to be fired.

What if I’ve never touched clay before?

That’s exactly who this is for.

Each project is designed for total beginners, no jargon, no confusing steps, and plenty of guidance.

You’ll build confidence with every project, and you’ll see your skills grow faster than you think.

What kind of clay do I need?

You’ll get a simple materials list with options you can grab online or from your local pottery shop.

No studio setup needed, you can make these projects at your kitchen table. To get your work fully glazed and finished, you will need access to a kiln. Often students can pay a small fee at a local pottery studio to put their pieces in to be fired.

I’m short on space. Can I still do this?

Absolutely. These projects are designed for kitchen-table crafters.

You don’t need a big setup, just a clear bit of bench, a mat or towel, and a small box to keep your tools and glaze in.

How long will it take me each day?

Most people spend 30–45 minutes per project, but you can go at your own pace.

There’s no rush, you can binge it all in a weekend or spread it over a few weeks, the clay can take 2-5 days to dry so I typically recommend 14 days for the projects to allow enough time.

What if I mess something up?

That’s half the fun of clay, there are no mistakes, only texture!

But seriously, I’ll show you how to fix cracks, rework shapes, and smooth things out easily.

The projects are designed to be easy to start and hard to get wrong as long as you follow the steps.

Will I actually finish the projects?

Yes, because each one is small, structured, and satisfying.

No endless tutorials or complicated designs. Just clear wins that’ll have you saying, “Wait… did I really make this?”

What if I fall behind?

No worries. You’ll have lifetime access to all the lessons.

You can pick up right where you left off, whether that’s tomorrow or three months from now.

Can I do this with kids or friends?

Yes! These projects are simple and fun to do together, just know this course is designed for adults, so you may need to help little ones with some of more fiddly steps.
