Melbourne ceramic studio Céramiques (located in Elsternwick and Camberwell) set up a “clay time” Instagram account with short tutorials on building from home. Since then they've turned the account into a full website stocking its at-home pottery kits. Prices start at $109 for a single clay kit, or you can buy twin or triple kits if you want to get creative with your family or housemates. You can also opt to add on extra clay, and the website has a handy list of local kilns that you can contact to get your work fired.
With many of us spending more time just pottering around the house, there’s never been a better time to try your hand at being a literal potter. Although they’ve had to close their studio doors to the public, a bunch of ceramics studios have adapted their businesses so you can get busy moulding your own mugs, vases and assorted sculptural vessels at home.
Go on, allow the tactile task of rolling clay between your hands to remind you of the sensation of human touch as you re-enact that classic scene from the 1990 romantic hit Ghost.
