A perfect size pottery kit for those wanting to start and build their own Masterpieces with a mate without having to spend hundreds of dollars.
About
Being a pottery mate is all about sharing creativity, laughter, and a little bit of mess as you shape, sculpt, and spin your way to unique creations. It’s the perfect mix of fun and collaboration, whether you’re trying to master the wheel or just rolling out some clay to make a wonky mug. A pottery mate is someone who cheers you on when your pot collapses, shares their tools (and maybe their snacks), and celebrates the triumphs, big or small. Together, you can turn lumps of clay into lasting memories and maybe even a masterpiece or two!
