25 Rae Dunn Inspired DIY Craft Projects

April 12, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

Rae Dunn pottery is a phenomenon that has taken the crafting world by storm. This beautiful and simple pottery has become sought after by many and can be difficult to come by. However, if you can’t get your hands on any of the original pieces, don’t worry, you can still create your own Rae Dunn inspired pottery with a few tools and supplies.

One of the most popular ways to make your own Rae Dunn pottery is to use a digital cutting machine to create your own decals for the lettering. This allows you to have complete control over the design and style of your pottery and make it truly your own. Alternatively, if you’re not comfortable with creating your own decals, you can purchase pre-made Rae Dunn labels on Amazon or other websites.

Many people don’t know that Rae Dunn is actually a person, and her journey to becoming a successful potter is an inspiring one. She started out just like most small-time crafters, selling her simple handmade pottery on Etsy. However, Rae is not just any crafter, she has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Industrial Design and worked in graphics and fashion design for several years before discovering her passion for clay in 1994.

Rae’s pottery line has since expanded and is now sold nationwide. Her merchandise includes core ceramic basics such as coffee mugs, bowls, and jars for tea, flour, and sugar. However, her designs have also been spun off into other home design items, making her pottery not just functional but also stylish and eye-catching.

One of the things that makes Rae’s pottery so unique is the font used for the lettering on her pieces. If you’re looking to recreate her style, finding the right font is crucial. Many people love the “Artisan Bread” font which can be found in the Cricut Design Studio. This is my favorite Rae Dunn font and is a great choice if you’re looking to make your own DIY crafts.

Rae’s designs are easily recognizable and have become synonymous with simplicity and style. Her designs are straightforward and uncluttered, making them easy to duplicate if you’re looking to make your own Rae Dunn inspired pottery.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, creating your own Rae Dunn inspired pottery is a fun and rewarding experience. Not only will you have a beautiful piece of pottery to use in your home, but you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you made it yourself. So, grab your tools and supplies, and get started on your own Rae Dunn-inspired pottery today!So what is the closest Rae Dunn font for Cricut?  I really love “Artisan Bread” which can be found in the Cricut Design studio

Still, loving the simple designs? Did you know Rae Dunn was accused of Plagiarism?  Clayton Grudj accused Rae of plagiarising their designs. Whilst Rae was creating perfect pieces,  Clayton was instead making objects that were so rustic and out of shape, they had to be labeled with their use. Eg. Bowl, Cup, Mug. Though originally marked with a sharpie.  Hence the original design.  You can read more about it here.

However, it is important to note that there is limited information available on this subject, and the accuracy of the claims made by Clayton Grudj cannot be confirmed. It is possible that this information was taken out of context or misinterpreted, and further investigation is necessary to determine the truth behind the allegations.

Additionally, it should be noted that accusations of plagiarism are serious and should not be taken lightly. If the claims made by Clayton Grudj are true, it would be a significant issue for Rae Dunn and could have significant legal and professional consequences. However, if the claims are false or exaggerated, it could be damaging to Clayton Grudj’s reputation and credibility.

But there is more than pottery to Rae Dunn,  she also has two books under her belt: The first, 2015’s Wilma’s World: Good Advice from a Good Dog, is a collection of photographs featuring Rae’s beloved dog and Dunn’s second book, is a collection of daily sketches from France residencies called France: Inspiration du Jour.

So why Does Rae Dunn have a cult following? and what makes it Rae Dunn Pottery valuable and which pieces are worth more?

What makes it valuable is the fact that supply is low and demand is high and you have cult fans or collectors who are willing to pay much higher prices to acquire it. Especially limited edition holiday season designs featuring the Long Letters or LL as it is reffered to in the Rae Dunn Cult pages, I mean fan pages.

So what Rae Dunn designs are more popular or worth more money? Basically anything “vintage” is going to set you back a few hundred dollars, lots of these pieces were created before the cult following occurred. Vintage pieces are far more unique and sort after.  So with all the Rae Dunn “inspired” crafts and DIY”s make sure you are getting the real thing. Do you know how to tell if your item is a real Rae Dunn item? Firstly there are handmade by Rae designs and Rae Designs by agents, the magenta ones are mass-produced and are not her early handmade or thrown works.

Rae Dunn’s work is just regular simple pottery that’s not that different from other items available. So what makes it so highly coveted? For one, her work is influenced by the Japanese aesthetic called wabi-sabi, which embraces the beauty of imperfections. You know kind of like the “Joy of tidying up” by Marie Kondo. Add a Japanese element to it and it went crazy viral too.  Well, I can assure you these “simple” pottery items spark joy for lots of fans. Except of course when a fan found the Rae Dunn mugs to contain Lead, Opps you can read more about are Rae Dunn mugs safe here.

Fans or Rae Dunn collectors have gone viral with swarming stores and waiting outside for hours to get the latest designs released. So what are these fans called? Rae Dunn Women. If you want to see them in action you can check out this viral tiktok showing just how crazy it can be.
