    Thank you, I purchased a banding wheel and some clay tools. So happy with my purchase. The delivery was quick. I thought there may be a delay due to cyclone Gabrielle affecting our area. Happy to recommend and support this business.

Our Story

As a modern woman juggling kids, work, and endless to-do lists, I craved a creative and relaxing outlet.

My life changed when I discovered the tranquility of pottery. This newfound passion led me to create Clay Play, a brand dedicated to helping others find peace and joy through the art of clay.

Understanding that many women face similar constraints of time and location, I developed at-home pottery kits to make pottery accessible to everyone.
