Abouth the Worskop:
In this 90-minute workshop, we will work with clay to create objects. Working with clay offers a sensory experience that helps release stress. We will work directed by prompts to mold and create a piece of art based on the theme of the day. Working with a shared focus can be relaxing and the company of others provides an opportunity for discussion, connection, and learning
Please note: This is not a pottery class and items created cannot be fired in a kiln
