Make something with your hands.

tsuchi is a small pottery studio for your iPhone. A wheel is turning, there is clay on it, and nothing needs your attention.

Press into the clay and it opens. Pull the wall up and it thins. Every pot is a little uneven, and that is part of it. Stay for two minutes or for an evening.

throwShape the clay on a turning wheel with your fingers. Pull, press, widen.
carveHold still to cut a ring, move to cut a spiral, or stop the wheel and draw.
glazeBrush on a glaze, or dip the whole piece. It stays pale chalk until the kiln.
fireThe room goes dark, the piece glows, and it comes back changed.

Your pieces save as you work and wait on a shelf. Give them names, come back to unfinished ones, or let one go when you want to. There are no scores, streaks, timers or reminders.

Coming to the App Store for iPhone. No ads, no accounts, and everything you make stays on your device.
