    Ceramic art is a form of pottery that many people see great benefits in. John Sheppard, who used to work for The Wall Street Journal as a designer, left the company to pursue sculptural ceramics full-time. 

    In an interview with Vogue, he described how the craft has been a form of meditation for him.

    “It turns off a higher level of thinking. You have to let go and give in to the unpredictability of it. You can go in with an idea of what you want to make, and the clay doesn’t want to do that,” Sheppard explained.

    Others see making ceramic art as a source of tension release and stress reduction. For ceramicist Luisa Caccioti, the tactile nature of the craft is a unique sensory experience that can help in decompressing. 

    “The simple pleasure of molding clay into a desired shape can be incredibly therapeutic, allowing you to temporarily disconnect from the information overload and endless tasks of daily life,” Caccioti said.

    Caccioti also mentioned other benefits of making ceramic art, including enhanced creativity and nonverbal self-expression, as well as new friendships that form from a shared interest. 

    But her biggest takeaway is the sense of accomplishment from creating something out of nothing.
