While Metro Manila is back under Alert Level 2—which means more establishments are open and operating at increased capacity—those of you who are extra cautious may still be planning to spend most of your time at home. And while we’re all for minimizing risk, we also understand if too much time spent indoors can get a little dull. Luckily, there are lots of fun activities you can try at home to brighten up your days and fight cabin fever. Knitting and crocheting, for example, have become popular hobbies amid endless quarantine statuses. Some go for jigsaw puzzles and board games to exercise the mind while others opt for practical (and therapeutic!) activities like decluttering.
In case you still haven’t found a hobby, skill, habit, or practice to fill your days, here’s a fun activity that may be worth a shot, especially if you like to work with your hands: pottery. And don’t worry, you don’t need to invest on a ton of fancy equipment to try it. Laro Ceramics’ Clay Play Kit has everything you need to get started from the comfort of your own home.
What's inside Laro Ceramics' Clay Play Kits?
Inside this all-in-one kit you’ll find all the basic essentials to mold and decorate simple ceramic pieces like mugs, bowls, plates, and more. The set includes 1.5 kilograms of stoneware clay as well as sculpting and carving tools, underglaze paint pots, a detailing paint brush, a rolling pin, a sponge, a canvas work mat, and more. Don’t worry, you’ll also get a how-to pamphlet to help you figure out how the heck to use all these tools. Plus, each purchase copmes with an online workshop via Zoom so you’ll have an expert guiding you along the way and teaching you how best to get started on your pottery journey. Once you’ve finished molding and painting your very own ceramics, you can send your clay back to Laro to be fired in a kiln and completed—yup, firing is included in the purchase, too!
Laro Ceramics' Clay Play Kits are available online. Virtual workshops will be scheduled along with each purchase. The next workshops will be held on February 13 and 26.
