Why Making Pottery is So Much More Rewarding Than Just Painting It
Painting pottery is fun — but making it from scratch? That’s where the magic happens. There’s a world of difference between decorating a ready-made mug and actually forming it with your own hands. Pottery making is slower, messier, more honest — and far more rewarding. You don’t just walk away with a pretty object. You walk away with a skill, a deeper connection to yourself, and something that’s truly yours.
