Basking in the Sun with ArTime BARRO: handbuilding ceramics & guided journaling

Join ARTime BARRO and Nicole Smolinski for an experiential ceramics workshop combining inner reflective exercises and conscious conversation with clay work to help you explore the symbolism of "basking in the sun."

This is an experiential ceramics workshop combining open-ended inner reflective exercises with directive clay work to help you explore the symbolism of 'summer' in your life & how to pause, rest and absorb all of the warmth you're experiencing during this season of your life.

About Workshop:

Nicole Smolinski, mental health professional & author of Finding My Way Back: Poems on Coming Alive, Healing & Self-Discovery, believes we can learn from the earth's cycles and that this can symbolically be true for us, too. This session will incorporate hand-building, where you'll be taught how to create a sunflower from clay, with open-ended questions to provoke more profound thoughts surrounding spring's teachings.

Key points of discussion:

  • basking in the sun

  • enjoying simply to enjoy

  • making a product that has no other use except that you made it - ties in with summer theme

  • our goals are achieved piece by piece, and it's important to celebrate the small moments add up to larger ones --> symbolic of the petals we make in class to form a whole sunflower

Dates:

  • 06/25/23 6:30pm-7:30pm
