So what can I make with my kit?
The sky’s the limit! Incense holders and oil burners, coffee cups and mugs, plates, bowls and spoons are popular options. Pots for your cherished plants, paint palettes, eggcups and sculptural forms are fun if you want to get a little creative.
How difficult is it to do on my own?
No prior experience is necessary and it’s perfect for beginners. By following the simple step-by-step instructions included in the kit you’ll find working with clay really easy and fun. If you practice you can make more advanced projects once you get a feel for your clay.
