Click and Collect Cactus Pot Clay Kit

By Kite Inclusive

At Kite Studios, our teachers and volunteers have been working with a group of neurodiverse young adults to teach them new skills, develop their confidence and provide them with meaningful occupation at Kite Studios. Together they are preparing tools, equipment and materials for our workshops, including this Cactus Pinch Pot clay project kit.

Our Cactus Pinch Pot Clay Kit comes with all the materials and key equipment that you need to make some fabulous pots for small plants. Emilia, one of our pottery teachers has created step-by-step online tutorial to guide you through the process. The link will be sent to you in your purchase receipt.
