Bored at Home? Try DIY Pottery Kits

Looking for new things to do at home? Our pottery classes and kits don’t only offer many health and wellness benefits, but they can also help you to totally transform your homewares in no time. The satisfaction of replacing your homewares into making homemade pottery is not only something you can feel totally proud of, but you’ll also be able to give friends and family homemade gifts once you’ve taken on one of our many online pottery classes.

Improve your mental health doing things you love

Finding things to do when you’re bored at home can take a bit of creative thinking, but you’ll feel so much more energised when you bring out your creative side, doing things you ultimately love doing. If you’ve spent more time at home this year than you’re used too, the escapism into going out to new places to clear your mind might not be accessible right now. Instead, we’ll help you find new things to do at home so that you’ll feel more productive, not only to help you feel better but to improve your mental health.

As mental health is being taken more seriously, we all know we need to spend part of our day doing more things we enjoy. We tend to spend most of our day being too busy to fit in time to look after ourselves, which is often placed at the bottom of the list. If you knew taking one hour of your day could completely transform your outlook on life, making you feel healthier and happier, you would commit to it.

Our DIY pottery kits are designed to not only bring out your creative side, they are aimed to help you start new hobbies and passions. Not only will you feel much happier, but you’ll also feel like you again, which can often be lost with the older we get. When you regain your identity, you’ll feel much more positive which will help you be more effective with work, and improve your relationships with loved ones.

You don’t need to attend a pottery class to make your own pottery at home. As long as you have some clay, water and a great Australian teacher to guide you, you’ll be able to make everything from mugs, bowls, beautiful plant pots, vases and even jewellery you can wear every day.

Here are some of our most popular DIY pottery kits so you can become more environmentally conscious and make your own homewares.

Make beautiful plant pots for your home

Incorporating more plants into your home is so beneficial for your health as they fill your home with more oxygen and life. Although many people are worried about how to look after plants, there are so many apps available to help you keep track for when to water them and whether they need sunlight or shade.

Sometimes it can be hard to find beautiful plant pots, let alone the expense surely does add up. When you learn how to make plant pots for your home, you’ll be able to choose whether to hang them to create a beachy boho feel, put them on your work from a home desk, or on your bedside table to help you sleep better. If you’re looking to update your home furnishings without breaking the bank, you simply just need to move your plants around to create a new fresh look. It’s an easy, yet effective way to transform your home.

Stop buying homewares from larger stores and make your own

We’re all trying to do our bit for the planet so the best place to start is in your own home. Instead of buying from large companies, start making your own homewares instead. The earthy feel of making your own mugs and bowls for example will not only feel completely rewarding, but you’ll also be able to use them every single day. If you’re looking for couples things to do at home, you can look back at that quality time you spent together making your homemade mugs with fond memories every day.
