A Reflective Clay Workshop: How Do We Care?
A gentle, screen-free space to slow down, feel grounded, and explore what care means to you through hands-on making.
About this Workshop
We all have someone or something to care and yet everyone’s way of caring is quite different.
In this gentle, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore what care feels like through clay: how it softens, holds, or resists.
Working slowly with our hands, we’ll use the material as a mirror for our inner world tracing the places where care nurtures and where it overwhelms.
There’s no goal to make something perfect; the process is the reflection.
Why Join?
This session is for anyone curious about emotional expression, embodiment, and the act of caring; for oneself, for others, for the world. No experience with clay is needed, only openness and curiosity.
Together we’ll build a small, supportive community for two hours and you will take home your unique handmade sculpture with you as a souvenir. Many participants describe these sessions as tender, grounding, and unexpectedly healing.
