  • Abstract: This study examines the impact of engaging in creative arts and crafting (CAC) activities, including pottery, on subjective wellbeing and loneliness among 7,182 adults in England. Hierarchical linear regressions revealed that participation in CAC significantly enhances life satisfaction, happiness, and the sense that life is worthwhile, beyond known sociodemographic predictors.
