A young Australian who dubs himself ‘Pottery Boy’ has captured the attention of thousands online with his pottery videos.
The 24-year-old from Melbourne told Daily Mail Australia his passion for pottery started three and a half years ago after attending a class with a friend.
Majority of the attendees were above 60, but Pottery Boy described the class as a ‘magical’ experience and he was ‘rattled’ he enjoyed himself.
‘We sat around a table, drank tea and coffee and made clay pots,’ he said.
Since gaining a collective social media following of more than 20,000 people, Pottery Boy has launched his own business ‘It’s Claytime‘ selling DIY home clay kits.
