<h3>Sculpting the Self</h3>A creative journey through the medium of clay. This series of sculpting workshops focuses on the process of working with clay—not producing a finished piece. Through a mixture of exercises and games, we’ll explore different ways to make, think, and play. Along the way, you’ll improve your skills, creativity, well-being, and confidence. <h4>The Three Core Elements</h4>Each session involves three interconnected elements: physical skill-building, emotional and therapeutic exploration, and connection through playful, inventive games. <h4>1.

She draws on her classical fine art training in Venice, Italy, alongside a playful, conceptual approach shaped during her time in Barcelona, Spain. She brings a decade of professional experience as a sculptor for the film industry, museums, and established artists, sharing hands-on techniques and skills with warmth and enthusiasm. Her ethos is grounded in the belief that creative making brings joy, connection, and well-being. Influenced by her Waldorf-Steiner education, where a holistic approach to nurturing the mind, body, and spirit fosters personal growth, she values the importance of connecting with our inner child—reclaiming the underrated skill of simply getting our hands messy and having fun. “Sculpting and making things is my moving meditation. Being a problem-solver of materials has given me peace, purpose, and joy. It’s been my escape and a way to connect with others. I want to share that. Art-making is for everyone! Roll up your sleeves and join us.” <h4>Who Is This For?</h4><ul><li>Free for residents of Hammersmith &amp; Fulham [use code: ResHF]</li><li>These workshops are open to all skill levels.</li><li>Due to limited spaces, booking in advance is essential.</li><li>All materials will be supplied</li></ul> <h4>Dates of Workshop Series</h4>Each workshop is a self-contained session—you’re welcome to join just one or as many as you'd like.<a href="https://sculpting-the-self-13th-may.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-13th-may.eventbrite.co.uk">13th May - Sculpting the Self 1/6</a><a href="https://sculpting-the-self-20th-may.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-20th-may.eventbrite.co.uk">20th May - Sculpting the Self 2/6</a><a href="https://sculpting-the-self-27th-may.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-27th-may.eventbrite.co.uk">27th May - Sculpting the Self 3/6</a><a href="https://sculpting-the-self-3rd-june.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-3rd-june.eventbrite.co.uk">3rd June - Sculpting the Self 4/6</a><a href="https://sculpting-the-self-10th-june.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-10th-june.eventbrite.co.uk">10th June - Sculpting the Self 5/6</a><a href="https://sculpting-the-self-17th-june.eventbrite.co.uk" title="https://sculpting-the-self-17th-june.eventbrite.co.uk">17th June - Sculpting the Self 6/6</a> <h4>For more information, visit:</h4><a href="https://www.dalyrossin.com/sculpture" title="https://www.dalyrossin.com/sculpture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sophia Dlay Rossin</a><a href="http://www.seacc.uk" title="http://www.seacc.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sands End Arts &amp; Community Centre</a>
