An extended version of the popular Clay Talisman Workshop By Amber where you’ll make your own sculptural art piece imbued with intention.
What participants will learn:
In this class you’ll experience a mindful approach to making, and learn hand-building techniques used to make a sculptural and functional ceramics.
We will use a variety of hand-building techniques, and the focus is on form. You will have over two hours of making, and lots of teaching support due to the small class size, so there is plenty of time to be ambitious. You don’t need any experience to attend, the key is in the intention.
The class includes a short guided meditation, intention setting exercises, discussion around talismans, and the majority of the time is for making your own sculptural talisman from Clay.
We creatively explore talismans: objects imbued with luck, intention, or magic. We’ll create our talismans inspired by the themes and intentions that come up in our session, or ideas and intentions you bring along. We’ll use a mixture of meditation, journaling, oracle cards, and looking at other examples of talisman artefacts for inspiration to find our own ideas and meanings.
