Pottery making is one of the most ancient art forms on the planet. Producing ceramic pieces can be highly enjoyable and it gives a chance to express ourselves creatively. It can reduce stress and become therapeutic, thus becoming a healthy outlet. It comes to no surprise that many people, including myself, find working with clay a much needed hobby.
I began working with clay about a year ago. I’ve always been interested in trying it, so when I saw a pottery studio near my house I decided to give it a go. I’m a nature junkie; I hike, surf, and photograph California’s beautiful landscapes. Pottery is an extension of nature and getting to work with clay brings an enormous satisfaction into my life when I’m not out in the wild.
While there are more than six reasons why you should take up pottery, below are some that will surely get you motivated to find the nearest pottery studio near you.
Are you convinced yet? (I hope that answer is a YES). So find a teacher or a pottery studio near you and prepare to partake on one of the most creative and satisfying art forms in the world.
