how to do pottery as an adult hobby?

i did ceramics in my senior year of high school and i loved it. i never had much interest in pottery until i took that class but it really shifted my whole mindset on how i feel about my art. the things i made were hideous, but for the first time i was okay with it. because ugly art is (to me) very beautiful, and i put my PUSS into making those pieces. the joy i felt while making pottery is unmatched. i want to continue to make pottery as a hobby, but i’m not sure how to—especially as an adult. how do you guys do it?! i’m sure it has to be at least sort of expensive, but such is the life of an artist. any advice is much appreciated!
