Pottery has been around in the Philippines even before the dawn of civilization. The activity is not only inked in our history books, it is also evident in the number of archeological artifacts found inside local museums. 

It is estimated that 3,500 years ago, native Filipinos began making traditional pots by using clay found in Sibalom River in Antique, Panay island. Pots have made themselves useful most especially during the neolithic period of the country where pottery was made for water vessels, cups, plates, and more.

In the modern age, it is not surprising to find a lot of Gen Zs and millennials who want to involve themselves in this worthwhile activity.

Molding ceramics is made easier thanks to Hey Kessy Pottery. With this workshop’s simplified technique, even kids can make pottery a hobby!

For Hey Kessy Pottery, molding clay is beneficial to children’s mental, physical, and emotional growth.

“Aside from being a great way to boost their motor skills, handling clay has a soothing effect and encourages creativity and imagination. Discovering what their own hands are capable of making can strengthen their self-esteem and give them the chance to express themselves freely,” the shop said.
