Clay sculptures

Clay - a formative medium

Clay is an exciting medium on many levels. It builds will and resilience and helps nourish and heal. By working with clay, we have the opportunity to integrate our  thinking, feeling and willing. It is a  formative, forgiving and therapeutic material, full of potential to not only give us joy, but to take us to our limits and to teach us about ourselves. 

Sculptural modelling works on human development in many ways. It provides our senses with a rich experience, enhancing our abilities on a physical level, as sensitivity and skills are developed in our hands.  It works on our emotional intelligence when it challenges and pulls us, when we try to find meaningful expression, and when we try to overcome our own hurdles, whatever they may be. It also works on intellectual abilities and thought processes, particularly on flexibility of thought. It is an ideal material to work with the dissociating forces stress experiences can pose. Finally, work with this malleable material enhances our will to accomplish and complete tasks in other fields.
