Overview

Calling all potters, throwers and hand builders. We’re running a Clay Contest and we want all of you to enter. Working with clay is a meditative art — it’s tactile, makes you think and it teaches you to wait. We want to reward your weeks of work and patient embellishing with new tools to use for your craft.

Show us your DIY kilns, bowls, sculptures, jewelry, and anything that you make out of clay. Your projects can win you an Artista potters wheel, sculpting wheels, Bison trimming tools, a polymer clay oven, and more. Visit the new Clay channel for inspiration.
