From Burnout to “I Made This!”
Hi! I’m Sam—founder, ceramics lover, and recovering corporate workaholic. I’m totally self-taught and, honestly, wasn’t great at pottery when I started. But it became my therapy, my art, and my mindfulness practice, and I wanted everyone to experience that magic. So I started Pottery with a Purpose to bring hands-on joy to your living room, office, or local brewery—no wheel or kiln required.
What began as my personal reset has grown into a nationwide movement for mindful making. Today, our pop-up workshops and DIY kits turn “I’m not artistic” into “OMG, I made this!” for beginners & beyond who want to relax, create, and maybe get a little messy. Each purchase gives back to mental health non-profits, and we work to keep our materials planet-friendly—learn more here. Scroll down to see the impact we’re making together.
Slow Down. Play with Clay.
In today’s always-on world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Pottery with a Purpose invites you to slow down, unplug, and create with your own two hands. Our beginner-friendly pottery workshops and sustainably designed DIY pottery kits make it simple to explore your creativity while supporting your mental well-being.
Each kit or workshop is crafted to inspire joy, connection, and relaxation—whether you’re shaping clay solo, sharing a date night, or hosting a group experience.
We make clay time easy, sustainable, and full of purpose, so you can focus on the fun, not the fuss.”
