About this Event

CONNECT THROUGH CLAY

Empty your mind and reconnect with yourself as you emerse in a gentle and grounding evening of exploration and mindful "me time' through the medium of clay.

The tactile nature of clay provides a unique sensory and somatic experience that can alleviate stress and help you to unwind. The simple pleasure of moulding clay can be incredibly therapeutic, allowing you to temporarily disconnect from the information overload and endless tasks of daily life.

Our focus will be on working with our personal connection with the material rather than technical skills and perfection as the technical outcome is less important than the process in this instance. The focus will be on working slowly and in rhythm with the breath.

Sometimes, words fall short when it comes to conveying our emotions and experiences. Clay work offers an alternative form of expression that goes beyond verbal communication, providing an invaluable medium for self-discovery and emotional exploration. There should be time for those who wish to share their reflections after making.
