Build a planter made to hang.
Create a ceramic hanging planter using the pinch pot technique, then shape and decorate it with texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details.

Katie guides you through each hand-building step and helps you create a planter that feels balanced, practical and personal.
Build the planter
Use the pinch pot technique to form the main body of your planter.
Shape the opening
Refine the walls, rim and hanging openings so the form feels balanced.
Make it yours
Add texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details to complete your design.
