In this  clay-based art therapy workshop, we will explore themes of grief, loss, letting go, change, acceptance, and healing.

DESCRIPTIONSpring is a time of growth and renewal. It is a time to shed the weight of winter and look toward a new light on the horizon. In this workshop we will create a sculpture from clay. This sculpture will metaphorically contain our worries, sadness, and struggles that we want to let go of as we approach the end of winter. In addition, within this sculpture we will embed wildflower seeds. These seeds will represent life and rebirth, hope, and a new beginning. The sculpture you create can then be placed in a garden, your yard, or in a pot on a balcony. If you choose to place it nearby you can watch its transformation and witness the sculpture as it returns to the earth and nourishes the seeds you’ve placed within it.----------------------DATES, REGISTRATION, &amp; FEESSaturday, March 26th10:00 AM to 12:00 PM ESTRegistration Fee: $25 Registration closes on Thursday, March 24th at 11:59 PM EST.----------------------SUPPLIES<ul><li>Journal/Paper &amp; Pen</li><li>Clay (5lbs of <a href="https://www.michaels.com/crayola-air-dry-clay-white/10446567.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Crayola Air-Dry Clay</a> or <a href="https://highwaterclays.com/collections/wet-clay/products/112-brown-clay-cone-4-6" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">other earthen clay.</a> This clay will not be fired in a kiln)</li><li>Wildflower Seed Packet (or other preferred seed packet)</li><li><a href="https://www.michaels.com/artminds-8pc-modeling-tool-set/10012071.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Basic Clay Sculpting Tools</a></li></ul><a href="https://www.michaels.com/artminds-8pc-modeling-tool-set/10012071.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a> OR<ul><li> Kitchen Utensils (instead of Clay Sculpting Tools)</li><ul><li>butter knife</li><li>fork </li><li>spoon </li><li>spatula</li><li>sharpened pencil</li></ul></ul>----------------------ZOOM LINKA Zoom link and password will be provided in your Eventbrite account upon registration.
