Pottery Palooza

Let’s get our hands dirty and mold some more ideas that will make your clay creations even more a-glaze-ing than a perfectly fired piece of art.

Get Fired Up

  • Plan a Project: Encourage everyone to think about a simple item they’d like to create (a small bowl, a mug, an animal figurine).
  • Dress for Mess: Wear old clothes or aprons that you don’t mind getting covered in clay.
  • Inspiration Station: Browse through books, magazines, or online galleries with pottery examples. What shapes, patterns, and styles catch your eye?

Extra Heat

  • Collaborative Creation: Consider working together on a larger piece, like a mosaic plate or a family sculpture created from individual pieces.
  • Display It: Create a dedicated shelf or display area in your home to showcase your family pottery masterpieces.
  • Storytelling Souvenirs: Attach or write a small note to or underneath each piece describing who made it, when, and any funny memories from the class.
  • Gift Exchange: Make small pieces specifically for someone else in the family (making sure that each person is paired with another) and wrap them for a fun family gift exchange after they’re finished.
