Loved this kit so much. The colours, pens and varnish made the whole thing feel really creative and a bit addictive.
Because screen time was getting embarrassing.
Everything you need to get started.
Sawa (Together) began with the two of us, Tariq and Julia and a shared love for meaningful time together.
We wanted to create something beyond the usual gifts: something creative, hands-on, and genuinely connecting.
For us, Sawa is about slowing down, being present, and making moments that bring people closer, with your partner, your family, your friends, or even just yourself.
What started as our idea has grown into a brand built around togetherness, creativity, and connection.

You can make both functional and decorative pieces - almost anything you can imagine! What you make is really up to you. It's your own creative expression through clay. All our kits come with detailed guides for you to create beautiful pieces.
We recommend working on a non-porous surface that the clay will not get stuck to, that way you can wipe it down easily when you're finished.
Once the clay is bone dry, first apply your white paint. Once that is dry you can add any colored paint decorations, followed by the varnish which is the final step.
The clay dries by itself when left alone for 24-48 hours. The drying time will vary depending on how thick the piece is. The thicker your piece is, the longer it will take to dry.
Do not put your piece in the oven or apply heat to try to speed this process up as this will likely lead to cracks in your masterpiece.
You don’t need an expensive kiln to get started with pottery from home. We use air-dry clay, which enables you to sculpt and dry your masterpiece at home. We started Sawa to help you experience the joy of pottery without having to visit a studio with a kiln.
