There are many ways we can self-care, and our magazine is intensely passionate about self-care. For me, often, self-care comes in the form of art projects, poetry, and music. However, I have zero space for a kiln and don’t wish to burn my house down. For this reason, I was VERY excited to discover Pottery with a Purpose, a DIY at-home pottery kit that provides the tools, from A to Z, in a convenient, travel-friendly box to create your adult pottery. This was super exciting for me as someone who has often wished that pottery kits without a kiln were offered in adult versions rather than kids’ play dough kits.
Pottery with a Purpose is not just a super fun, travel-friendly way of self-caring with art projects – though it is – it is also a sustainable company that promotes mental health in a way that is friendly to the environment. Their packaging is 100% recyclable or compostable. With a machine like the Mill composter, it makes it super easy to compost the discards of the kit when you’re done so that they can then be used as food for your plants.
This is a win-win, and making the Pottery with the kit is easy and fun. Like crocheting, it is an excellent distraction from the world of phones and social media.
So, for all of us budding luddites out there, buy Pottery with a Purpose, and escape the world for a minute.
