Let customers speak for us
We absolutely loved our Modeletto pottery date! My boyfriend and I did this together and it was honestly so much fun and so easy from start to finish. Neither of us had ever done pottery before, but everything was really simple to follow and felt super approachable. It was such a nice way to spend intentional time together, and we came away with the cutest matching mugs. It feels so special knowing we made them by hand, and I already can’t wait to have our morning coffees together using them. It was such a fun and memorable experience, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a creative way to spend time together :)
Beautiful product. Website was easy to use and communicating with the owner was a breeze when I had questions.
I’m based in Hawke’s Bay so when I found somewhere to fire it, it was great to know they had a relationship with Modeletto so they knew how to work with the clay and glazes I had used
Such amazing clay to work with 😍
Loved making this tray to go along with my Modeletto purchase. They look so cute together - thanks for the inspiration
Learning a new skill as an adult has been both deeply humbling and wildly inspiring … ✨
Thank you for the pottery kit that got this vase started and the inspiration to keep creating 🌹
This was honestly such a fun experience! So easy to follow and the French pear scent is gorgeous. I will be doing more of these kits with some girlfriends and a glass of wine! Loved it. Perfect gift too <3

FAQ
Up to one year unsealed.
Once the pack is open it will stay moist for a few weeks if you seal the zip lock properly. Just add some water to the bag if it hardens a bit and let it soak in for a few days.
Our pottery kits are completely beginner friendly and have easy to follow instructions and video tutorials but if you get stuck you can always DM or email us at anytime!
Drying time is 24 hours to a week depending on thickness (for best results leave for 1/2 week). Leave it to dry in a cool place. Then once dry, glaze your piece and take it to a local kiln to be fired to make it ceramic.
1kg - enough to make a few things. You can buy more here if you need more.
