ClayCraft is a brand new magazine for this growing hobby with each issue including fun, inspirational and challenging pottery projects for you to try at home. Our editor, Rachel Graham, writes… Whether you are a student, a hobby potter, or have an established studio, we want you to enjoy reading about this wonderful stuff called clay! What is it about it that’s so appealing? Everyone I meet tells me that they find handling clay relaxing and, in lots of cases, therapeutic. Maybe it speaks to an ancient part of our psyche; man has been digging up mud, making it into vessels and putting it into a fire for thousands of years. And now we have refined this to the point where it’s both part of our everyday lives, and an inspiring artistic medium. Whatever your level of involvement, whatever you take from it, it’s going to be a positive experience, and ClayCraft will add to that, with practical hands-on guides, in-depth features on established, and emerging, potters, and plenty of good advice from our experts.
