For some time now, ceramics have become fashionable. There is a proliferation of places where you can go to shape creations on a lathe, as well as centers where the objects are already created and you just have to paint them. Social networks have also been filled with inspirational videos giving ideas for making objects with clay in endless shapes and color compositions.
It is not surprising that this activity has become so popular. Firstly, because it is entertaining, it distracts us and provides us with a new pastime away from the omnipresent screens. In addition, it is very relaxing and allows us to unleash our creativity. The illusion of making something with our own hands that we can later cherish with affection also influences.
Furthermore, ceramics allow us to decorate our home with a unique and very personal touch, thanks to original creations that we make to our liking. If you want to join this trend, you can look for workshops or centers in your city where you can go and get to work, or buy an air-drying clay kit to do it at home, because then you won't need a wheel or baking. Whatever your chosen option, here you will find some ideal ceramic ideas. And remember: practice makes perfect. Do not despair if your first works do not meet expectations, because little by little you will see how you improve your technique.
Ceramic mugs are, without a doubt, the most acclaimed item within this discipline. They are worn in a rustic style, making it obvious that you have made them with your own hands. Don't be afraid of possible damage, because those are the details that give it charm. You can make them smaller, larger, bowl type, with or without a handle. When decorating them, you can also leave them plain or make shapes or drawings with special clay paints.
If you like making homemade candles, then you will love being able to even create its container. Even with a small bowl for matches to match.
In this TikTok video we see how they create a cloud-shaped earring holder. You can recreate it step by step or take it as an initial idea and create your own earring holder with any other shape, or a holder to hang your necklaces and bracelets or place your glasses. With much simpler shapes, you can create containers to store your jewelry such as square boxes, round bowls or embossed plates.
These are especially easy to create, as you just need to flatten the clay with a rolling pin and shape them into the shape you prefer. It is not limited only to plates for eating, but you can also make them as a pocket emptyer or to leave your jewelry, as we mentioned previously.
Shape them into containers of different sizes for everything you can think of: makeup, hair ties, to store keys or loose change, as a container for pencils or kitchen utensils... Whatever you can think of!
