Ready to take your at-home creativity to the next level? Our Author at Home pottery workshop kit isn’t just another craft kit—it’s the real deal. Get your hands dirty with our signature Coastal clay and create a substantial, sculptural Boring platter, just like a true potter.

This kit allows you to step into the shoes of a real artist, crafting a beautifully designed platter along with a few pinch pots that are anything but ordinary. This isn’t your average DIY project; it’s a genuine experience in the art of pottery. The clay is the same high-quality material we use in our studio—designed for kiln firing, not just air drying. You’ll enjoy working with real, durable clay, just like the professionals.

Set aside 1.5 to 2 hours, gather your friends, partner, or co-workers, and dive into this hands-on creative experience. With everything you need included in the kit, all that’s left is to unleash your creativity. Follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions, and soon enough, you’ll have your very own sculptural Boring platter, ready for firing.

Once you’ve crafted your pieces, they’re not just for display—they're meant to be kiln-fired, just like any professional pottery work. Simply take your creations to a local pottery studio for firing, or return them to our studio. Your pieces will be ready for collection around 10 weeks later (depending on the kiln service you use), perfectly cured and ready to elevate your home.

Remember, this isn’t just a kit—it’s an experience.
