Clay and Connection The Community pottery

These three-hour workshops offer a gentle, trauma-informed space to slow down, connect with yourself and others, and explore creativity through working with clay.

We begin with accessible, body-based practices using breath, light movement, and body awareness to support nervous system regulation and help you feel grounded and present. These practices are inclusive and adaptable, designed to meet people where they are — physically and emotionally.

You'll then be guided in making simple clay pieces. The focus is on the process rather than the outcome, encouraging rest, creativity, and connection over perfection.

These workshops are especially designed to welcome those who may not usually feel at home in traditional wellness or art spaces. No previous experience is needed. All materials, tools, refreshments, and guidance are provided in a supportive, inclusive environment.

To make the workshops as accessible as possible, they are donation-based.

There will also be a chance to give feedback after the session. As these workshops are for the community, we really value hearing what worked, what didn’t, and any ideas for the future.

We’ll be running a series of these workshops over the next two months. Each one is a stand-alone session — come to whichever date suits you best. If you enjoy it, you’re warmly invited to join more than one.
