A 2020 NIH study suggests pottery could be a beneficial activity for people with dementia, fostering enjoyment, creativity, psychological well-being, and self-esteem. Additionally, recent research published in the American Academy of Neurology Journal discovered that people who engaged in artistic activities in both middle and old age were 73% less likely to have memory and thinking problems, such as mild cognitive impairment, that lead to dementia. The study also revealed that people engaged in craft-based activities such as sewing, woodworking and ceramics in midlife and old age, are 45% less likely to encounter cognitive issues.
