What is this workshop about?⠀

​

This fun group workshop creates a held, intimate space to reconnect to your creative truth, re-explore authentic expression, and curiously investigate your playful nature, with clay.

​

Many of us are adulting way too hard, feel stuck or creatively blocked in some way, find ourselves uninspired or disempowered in life and are fixated on external opinions, judgement and perfectionism. This is mostly because we are disconnected from our true creative essence, and rarely, if ever play. 

 

But in order to live our best, most fulfilled life, we need to understand our natural power to create. And what better way to remember this than through play - the magical portal to creativity, where anything and everything is possible.  

 

This Clay Play Workshop is not only the starting point of a powerful process of creative rediscovery, but it's also a fun, easy going way to experiment with the healing medium of clay while learning basic hand building techniques in a group setting of your nearest and dearest.  

 

This workshop caters to private groups of 4 - 6 people.

​

 

Your Guide.

​

I’ve spent the last decade working with clay, professionally as a ceramicist (Klomp Ceramics), but also as a tool to explore my own healing and transformation. I started playing with clay when I was recovering from a brain tumour in 2012 and it offered me the opportunity to heal through play, rediscover my creative self, tell my story and now share my learnings. Join me as I gently guide you, through play and clay, back to your authentic self, offering you the opportunity to move through the world as an empowered creative being.

​

We have no creative or clay work experience, can we still take part?

​

Absolutely. No previous clay experience needed. This workshop is for anyone - whether you view yourselves as creative in the traditional sense of the word or not.

This workshop also creates the opportunity to experiment with clay whilst learning basic hand building techniques such as coiling, pinching and surface decoration.

​

What can we expect to get/learn from this workshop?

​

Throughout the workshop we'll be focusing on being present, remembering how to play, and reconnecting to our creative flow inspired by joyful memory work and various meditative, group, tactile, sensory & exploratory exercises and games.

At the end of the workshop you will have:

- had a restorative, fun filled time playing with clay 

- learnt basic clay hand building & decorative techniques

- been reminded what being creatively conscious, free and empowered feels like, so that you can introduce this way of being into your every day life

- greater clarity on how to listen to your heart, and how to follow your truth & intuition in the present moment

- made at least five ceramic pieces to serve as your creative talismans (most people end up with around ten pieces!)

- spent meaningful time connecting & sharing with the members of your group
