Sardine Pottery

Posted on by debowpadgett

 

 

Bold, fishy, and impossibly cute. The sardine pottery trend is officially a thing.

 

What started as a niche foodie obsession has now become the most unexpected design moment of the year. Sardines, anchovies, mackerel. Yes, really. These stylish little swimmers are showing up in home decor, on TikTok, and even in your favorite accessories. Sardine girl summer is officially here, and it is being painted into existence at Color Me Mine studios across the country.

 

Right now, sardine pottery projects are turning heads with their vibrant color palettes and playful packaging-inspired designs. You can match your sardine plate to your own cute sardine bag, create your dream tinned fish label, or go full coastal with hand-painted mackerel in citrusy hues. Your feed is going to love this.

 

It is not just about sardines either. A full dolce vita themed pitcher and matching cup set has entered the chat. Inspired by the messy and charming illustrations of Italian beach cafés and picnic tables, this pottery project is full of seaside icons, line-drawn lemons, bubbly bottles, and that breezy “sweet life” energy. You know the look. It is giving yacht-core meets illustrated cookbook meets pure aesthetic joy.

 

Every project is beginner friendly and completely customizable. Studio teams are providing design inspiration, color combos, and tips so that each piece can feel totally unique. Whether you are painting sardine decor for your kitchen, gifting a tiny fish dish to your best friend, or just looking for fun summer activities, this is one trend that is surprisingly addicting.

 

Walk-ins are always welcome, so you can drop in anytime to start your own sardine masterpiece. Solo self-care session, paint date with your crush, or group hang with your artsy crew. No matter the vibe, we have the sardine core setup ready for you. Find a studio near you and dive in. 

 

Sardine girl summer is real.
Sardine pottery is in.
The only question is how fishy you are willing to go.

Cancers are loyal and sympathetic before anything else, making them the ultimate dog’s best friend.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

 

The trailblazers of the zodiac, you are bold, ambitious and proud to be exactly who you are.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

 

The Capricorn personality is independent, disciplined, steadfast and resourceful. Capricorns assess the situation, make a plan and stick to it – which is why a more complex design suits you to perfection. The Leafy Charcuterie Board doubles as a work of art AND serving platter, but will require patience and persistence to paint this piece of pottery.
