Wellness Tool #13: Pottery
Like painting, ceramic pottery making is a very powerful artistic route that can support those suffering from mental health disorders. By physically shaping items you can work on exploring your creativity, awaken your natural resilience, and have a great time making something for yourself and others. If you’ve got a real knack of it you can even use them as gifts for holidays or even a whole career. These can both be great goals if you’re looking for a less stressful activity or career for yourself.
