Clay Class

Classes From the Voice Of Clay are taught in different locations throughout New England and beyond. Please call 603-559-9775 to get specific dates and locations. Here are some sample workshops. Clay as a Remedy Clay has been used for thousands of years not only to make pottery but as a healing remedy. In this 3 evening workshop we will create spontaneous artistic clay pieces, as well as a few pots, while integrating a deeper awareness of clay and its impact on our body. You will learn how to create simple hand built pots and come away with a deeper insight into yourself, what it means to 'play' or 'create' and an understand of why clay is a healer.

Hand Building as a healing proces through Ceremony and Ritual

In this 4-day workshop we will be hand-building pottery designed for specific ceremonies or rituals such as holiday wares or wedding or birthday items. We will discuss the richness and possibilities of ritual and deepen our awareness of their meaning and how they are symbolic. Each student will be designing their own pots or clay creations based on their own individual understanding of ceremony or ritual and each students perception of ceremony or ritual will be honored. This is a great class for beginners with clay!

Hand Building Pottery as a Healing Process through the Bowl

In this 3 day workshop we will be hand building bowls. Big bowls, small bowls; any kind of bowls your heart desires. We will connect the process of hand building to inner healing possibilities and reveal how our bowls represent a part of ourselves. No previous experience with clay is necessary. We will hand build the first two days and glaze our work in the third class. Each participant will complete the class with several finished bowls and a deeper insight into themselves.
