Held in Tender Earth Workshop
TICKETS HERE
Mark the approaching Winter Solstice with an afternoon of mindful ceramics, poetry, and connection.
In this workshop, we'll slow down together to honour the turning of the season with guided writing, reflection, and clay work in a warm, grounding space.
We'll begin with a gentle, meditative free-flow poetry practice guided by the winter solstice - setting intentions and exploring the cycles of the seasons through language and imagery. These words and reflections will guide the creation of your own handbuilt clay vessel, formed using accessible techniques and intuitive, organic shapes.
You'll then have the opportunity to add poetic lines, marks, or symbolic designs to your piece guided by your own creative vision, before choosing a glaze. After the workshop, I'll complete the firing and glazing process in my studio, and your finished vessel will be ready to collect within two weeks.
Your ticket includes: Guided automatic writing meditation / All clay, tools and materials / Hand building and surface design tuition / Firing and glazing of your finished vessel and Refreshments.
A mindful creative ritual to reconnect with the earth, each other, and the rhythm of the seasons.
Viola Vessels creates cocoons of connection, with ourselves, the earth, and likeminded people. I look forward to welcoming you.
