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.

Recycle broken ceramics when you learn the art of Kintsugi

If you’re unsure what Kintsugi is, you’ll learn this Japanese art form of repairing broken ceramics using a gold lacquer. Next time you break a pot or a mug, don’t throw it out in the trash as you’ll be able to recycle it and build something new at home. Not only will this beautiful art form make you feel totally relaxed after a busy day, but you’ll also feel so proud of yourself for reinventing your broken ceramics.

 

Learn to make your own jewellery

When looking for indoors activities, or things to do on a rainy day, learn to make your own unique jewellery using our DIY pottery kits. From earrings and necklaces, you’ll learn how to make your very own custom made pieces no one else in the world will have. Just imagine when you’re asked where you bought your jewellery from and you can proudly say… “I made it myself!”

 

How do our online pottery classes work?

Once you’ve decided which virtual pottery class suits you best, we’ll send you a gorgeous craft box lovingly made and packed by our local Australian makers and teachers. Inside you’ll find a DIY pottery kit which will include all of the tools and materials you would have been given if you attended the class in person. Once you’ve set up your little homemade pottery workshop, you’ll need to log onto Zoom to find other like-minded students and our expert Australian pottery teacher ready to teach a fun and engaging lesson.

Our online pottery classes and DIY pottery kits are the perfect way to spend time with friends and family who might not live nearby. You now have the opportunity to spend quality time together doing things you love, regardless of being face to face.
