The world of pottery has always been a place of creativity, tranquility, and self-expression. But recently, there has been a new trend emerging in the pottery community that has caught the attention of A-list celebrities. It’s called “hugging pots” and it’s taking the pottery world by storm.
At the forefront of this trend is renowned potter, Patrick Johnston. With his unique style and innovative techniques, Johnston has become a household name in the world of pottery. But what sets him apart from other potters is his philosophy behind his creations – to spread love and positivity through his art.
In an exclusive interview with ET, Johnston revealed the special reason why A-listers are flocking to his studio, Temple of Mediclaytion, to hug pots. “It’s all about connecting with the earth and finding inner peace,” he said. “Hugging pots is a way to ground yourself and release any negative energy you may be holding onto.”
But it’s not just about hugging any ordinary pot. Johnston’s pots are infused with medicinal clay, known for its healing properties. “The clay has been used for centuries to treat various ailments and promote overall well-being,” Johnston explained. “So when you hug one of my pots, you’re not only connecting with the earth, but also receiving its healing benefits.”
It’s no surprise that A-listers are drawn to this unique form of therapy. In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and anxiety are at an all-time high, people are constantly searching for ways to find inner peace and balance. And hugging pots at Temple of Mediclaytion seems to be the perfect solution.
Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah Winfrey have all been spotted at the studio, embracing the pots and taking in the positive energy. But it’s not just about the famous faces. Johnston’s studio is open to everyone, and he encourages people from all walks of life to come and experience the healing power of hugging pots.
“I want to spread love and positivity through my art, and I believe that everyone can benefit from it,” Johnston said. “Whether you’re a celebrity or not, we all need a little bit of grounding and healing in our lives.”
And it’s not just about hugging pots. Johnston also offers pottery classes, where he teaches his students how to create their own pots infused with medicinal clay. “It’s a therapeutic experience, both for the mind and the body,” he said. “And seeing my students connect with the clay and create something beautiful is truly rewarding.”
The trend of hugging pots has not only caught the attention of A-listers, but it has also sparked a movement in the pottery community. More and more potters are now incorporating medicinal clay into their creations, and the demand for hugging pots is on the rise.
