<p>Spending most of their days in front of the camera and under the spotlight as they take on their craft could be stressful, exhausting, and draining. Thus, celebrities make sure to destress whenever they have the chance by going on vacations or turning to sports and hobbies. And in recent years, we’ve been seeing stars who have seemingly developed a fondness toward pottery, such as the ones in this Kapamilya Snaps feature!</p><div> </div><div><strong>Kathryn Bernardo</strong></div><p>The Asia’s Superstar had a “<em>one happy day</em>” with her family in January 2023 as they went pottery-making together at a popular local ceramic studio, which seemed to be their way of celebrating the birthday of her beloved niece Lhexine. Kathryn’s Mommy Min and Ate Kaye also joined the fun.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Maris Racal</strong></div><p>For their Valentine’s date in 2023, Maris and boyfriend Rico Blanco chose to have a pottery date at a studio in Cubao Expo, which the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/cantbuymelove"><em><strong><u>Can’t Buy Me Love</u></strong></em></a> star shared in one of her vlogs. It might be mucky and laborious, but the couple was still able to enjoy every moment of it. In the end, each of them was able to create two functional pieces and a random ornament, which were sent to them after three months.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Nadine Lustre</strong></div><p>Aside from music, acting, and her Instagram feed, Nadine has also found another way to express her creativity, which is through pottery.

When asked how did she find this experience, Vivoree described it as “<em>so much fun</em>” and “<em>very therapeutic</em>,” which makes it a great form of art therapy. For Heaven, on the other hand, it’s also a good way to know more about oneself and explore other things outside of your zone. Thus, both of them highly recommended it!</p><div> </div><div><strong>Alexa Ilacad</strong></div><p>Another Kapamilya actress to have tried pottery is Alexa, and she did it last year with none other than her loveteam partner KD Estrada.
