OUR STORY
2020
Let Us Take You Back
...to the summer of 2020. We found ourselves, like everyone else, spending a lot more time in the house. In the evenings we’d sit in front of the TV or scroll through our phones – usually at the same time. Pretty soon we realised this wasn't an ideal way to spend the day (both on our own or with our loved ones). So we set out to find ways to get in touch with our creative sides, and make all that time spent indoors useful. (And fun, obviously.)
2021
Then We Stumbled Upon Something
After experimenting and playing around with a bunch of crafty projects, we found that working with air dry clay was really fun, creative, therapeutic and rewarding. That's when we knew we'd found something special that we had to share with the world. From these humble beginnings, Pott’d was born.

Clay Creations Later...
Pott'd has now gone from a kitchen table hobby to real business. We've helped over 100,000 people get creative, been featured in loads of cool magazines and gained an entire creative community on social media. We even have our own YouTube show and Podcast! The Pott'd team is on a full-time mission to keep the creative times rolling – we're so happy to have you here too.
A MESSAGE TO YOU
Pott’d was born in a time when our mental health was challenged by fear and isolation. Many of us found our escape in creative activities and for me, this included discovering air dry clay.
My dream is for Pott’d to help others like you uncover your creative side, spark your imagination, and experience the unique calming flow of working with your hands.
Have fun, express yourself, and create things!

SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH
Born during the global lockdown, Pott'd was created to bring the magic of pottery into our homes, make creating with clay accessible, and champion creativity as a path to positive mental health 🤝
We proudly work with London-based charity Open Art Spaces, to host affordable creative events all over the city and bring the joy of crafts to more people.
No experience? No problem!
We’re all about making crafts and pottery more accessible and available to those who want to get creative from the comfort of our own homes, as easily as possible. Even if you've never touched clay before, our bank of resources and tutorials will take you from beginner to expert in no time!
A Platform For All Types Of Artists
This year we've launched Pott'dCast, a video-podcast haven for creative enthusiasts, air dry clay aficionados and psychologists alike. The goal of Pott’dCast is to bring together different voices from the worlds of art, creativity, mental health practice & clinical research, sharing their stories and insights with our global community 🎙️
