What you'll do
Sensory Grounding
The host initiates the session with a grounding exercise, focusing on the tactile temperature and texture of the clay. This phase bridges technical preparation with mindfulness, encouraging guests to settle into the present moment through "wedging" the clay to eliminate air bubbles.
Intentional Constructio
Using the "pinch pot" method, the host guides the group through the slow, rhythmic process of shaping walls. This stage emphasizes the connection between breath and pressure, teaching participants to observe the clay’s resistance and respond with focused, intentional movements.
Conscious Refinement
The host demonstrates surface smoothing and scoring as a form of "active meditation." Guests are encouraged to focus on the repetitive motion of the tools, refining the silhouette and adding textures while practicing non-judgmental awareness of their unique creative process.
Reflective Finishing
The session concludes with a guide on the curing cycle and sealant application. The host leads a final reflection on the transformation of the raw material, instructing guests on how to preserve their finished work as a lasting symbol of their focused, creative presence.
