Join us for a unique pottery experience at Sarah's idyllic countryside studio in Hertfordshire. My Mindfulness Figurative Sculpture Workshop combines the art of clay with the benefits of mindfulness, perfect for all skill levels.
What to expect:
  • Begin with calming exercises to centre your mind and ‘arrive’ into the process, to leave the 'busyness' of everyday life to one side (this can be picked up again when you leave the session!).
  • Learn to create expressive figurative sculptures with expert guidance. We will work with the figure, and this sculpture short course has been specially devised to give you an insight into the fascinating and compelling art of clay figurative sculpture. The three sessions are ideal for anyone who has ever fancied trying their hand at sculpting in clay but hasn’t known where to start.
You will have the chance to create a human head in clay, and we will look at working at different scales. You will have the chance to discover the feel of making directly with your hands in the clay with sculpture tools. We provide everything you need, and you will be able to decorate your work with a huge array of slips, underglazes, oxides, and glazes. All you need to bring is enthusiasm! The finished results can be left for firing and collection at a later date, to amaze your friends. No experience is needed.
It is also a great opportunity to visit my idyllic countryside clay studio: this could be the start of your creative journey through the wonderful world of clay and clay sculpture.
Embrace a non-judgmental space that nurtures your artistic potential and learn how to connect with your natural talent and creativity and learn new skills.
