About this Event
We’ll explore our creative energies through play and experimentation with one of earth’s oldest mediums.
Rather than focusing on creating an object to take home, this experience centers on process and learning. There is no end product to take home in this class—the emphasis is on presence, exploration, and the act of making itself. Rather than a physical creation, you’ll leave with newly developed skills, fond memories, and maybe a few new friends.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of hand-building with clay, gaining practical skills while working with one of the most ancient and grounding materials. Clay’s tactile nature encourages mindfulness, curiosity, and connection through the hands.
Aligned with the spirit of the Living Room, this workshop offers space to step away from productivity-driven expectations and instead enjoy the process of creating—slowly and intentionally.
No prior experience necessary. All materials provided.
