Provided by the amazing team at Gathered, these tips will have you creating a gorgeous art piece in no time. One of the best things about pottery like this is that it’s not just decorative, it’s functional.

Put in your favorite flowers or ferns to liven up your location with greenery, either of your favorite variety or based on what’s appropriate for the season.

Clay sculpting is also a very calming hobby, as it allows you to bring concept into substance with the sensory sensations of touch and sight at the same time. You’ll see and feel your future creation coming to life in your own hands, before your very eyes.

Let’s get started! For this craft, you’ll need air dry clay — this is important, as not all clay provides this property of drying, but it’s essential here. You’ll also want to grab clay modeling tools, along with some old jars and tins. The former you’ll find at the craft store, same aisle as the clay usually. The latter you may have lying around. Got some extras? You can use them for even more crafting goodness.

We’ll let the fine people from Gathered take over from here. Follow their guide, and you’ll be enjoying this clay creation in no time.
