Mindfulness + Clay Workshop

A hands-on practice in mindfulness & creative flow. Come explore the tactile and contemplative experience of working with clay. Designed for anyone interested in the meditative potential of art, this workshop, led by Commonplace MWS featured artist Courtney Williams, offers a welcoming, nonjudgmental space to explore the tactile and contemplative experience of working with clay. The workshop will begin with a short instructional session introducing the three foundational techniques of hand-building- pinching, coiling, and slab building. Then a mindfulness practice will be introduced to the group to help focus attention and cultivate creative flow. During the remainder of the workshop, participants will spend time mindfully hand-building a small wall hanging, niche or vessel, inspired by nature and following their intuition. Their creations will be fired and returned to them at a later date- theirs to keep and use at home as a tool and prompt for continuing to engage with their mindfulness practice.
