Pottery is a hands-on creative experience that provides many health benefits. It reduces stress, strengthens the fingers, wrists, and arms, helps with balance, and promotes dexterity. It also promotes mindfulness and cultivates self-reflection, fostering personal growth. The physicality of the clay and sense of touch engages the mind and body to focus on the present moment, reducing outside distractions that lead to stress and anxiety. It helps with muscle tension, causing cortisol levels to decrease and can be a natural pain reliever for some.
Potters use clay to create functional and decorative art. The process begins with a lump of wet clay that’s placed on a spinning pottery wheel where it’s shaped into a unique work of art. Once it’s a finished shape, potters may add glaze to further enhance the design and protect the piece from moisture.
Kids love to use clay and often express their creativity when forming their creations. Clay is forgiving and allows them to take risks in their designs as it can easily be rolled back into a ball to start over. It’s a great way to encourage children to think outside the box, and it can build confidence in their ability to communicate their ideas.
Pottery involves a lot of pounding, pressing, pinching, poking, squeezing, rolling and coiling, which builds motor skills. Kids are challenged to solve problems as they try to keep their pieces together or fix cracks. This fosters their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which can transfer to other areas of their lives. When they see their finished glazed creations, it can boost their self-esteem and help them feel accomplished.
