Mental Fight Club

Join us for a unique, hands-on experience with Constança Saturnino, as we delve into the ancient art of cob making!

St John’s Church, Waterloo

Join us for a unique, hands-on experience with talented artist and friend of Mental Fight Club, Constança Saturnino, as we delve into the ancient art of cob making!Together, we'll mix the simple, natural ingredients of Clay, water, sand, and straw to create this wonderfully malleable and earthy material. Then, drawing inspiration from cob's rich history of creating organic, hand-shaped forms, we'll use it to sculpt pieces that speak directly to our individual and collective relationship with the natural world.This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with an ancient craft, express your creativity, and explore nature's artistry through a truly sustainable medium.Traditionally “Cob” would be made by mixing the materials communally with bare feet, this is a great and visceral way to experience this material. However, if you still want to join in this stage of the process but don’t want dirty feet, then please bring a pair of boots you don’t mind getting dirty to the session.Get to know Constança –Constança is an interdisciplinary artist, choreographer, dancer, born in Lisbon and currently based in London.Her artistic process begins with direct interaction with the natural world, where she collects materials such as handmade charcoal, foraged plants, stones, and clay. These elements form the foundation of her drawings and sculptures, serving as both tools and collaborators. Whether pressing plants into paper to capture their imprint or using charcoal to mark her own body in a foetal position, Constança’s work blurs the line between the human and natural realms. Constança creates deeply personal and tactile works that reflect her complex relationship with nature and self.
