Hands-on Healing: Exploring Art, Activism, and Mindfulness with Clay
Saturday November 23, 2024 2:00pm - 2:50pm EST
TBA
Engage in the calming and grounding experience of working with clay in this hands-on workshop. Together, we’ll explore how art-making can enhance emotional well-being, foster mindfulness, and promote healing. Through the tactile and meditative process of shaping clay, participants will connect with their senses, cultivate a mind-body connection, and discover the power of non-verbal expression.

Inspired by projects like The Clothesline Project and The Monument Quilt, we will also explore how art can illuminate personal stories, spark dialogue, and create awareness around social issues.

Participants will create clay ribbons as symbols of healing and shared understanding. Each ribbon will carry individual designs, textures, or messages that reflect personal journeys and collective resilience. These ribbon sculptures will then be gifted to survivors who donated clothing for the summit's art installation, created in partnership with "I Have The Right To."

No prior clay experience is necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to create!
