Clay Conversations
What is Clay Conversation?
In our everyday busy life, we have forgotten how to connect with nature again. And with each passing day we are going a step far from nature. Touching clay can help us reconnect with mother earth without any conscious effort.
Well, when I say clay conversation, it’s exactly how it sounds, we talk while working with clay.
To attend a clay conversation session, you don’t have to be an artist or have any intention to learn pottery.
Before you plan to be present in a clay conversation session let me tell you what the results you might expect when you attend it for some span of time.
What is the purpose of Clay Conversations?
The purpose of Clay Conversations is to offer help and support encouraging people to feel more empowered to become independent thinkers in their daily living and thus improve levels of well-being.

What do I do in a Clay Conversation Session?
-We work with a lump of clay, with a theme or may be free flowing sometimes, while having conversations with a group of people or with the practitioner.
What happens to the articles we make?
-If it's an online session, you can keep the piece with yourself as long as you want (It will break only if it is handled much).

-You can safely decorate it at some place where it will not be handled much.
-You can recycle the clay and reuse it in future.
Do we learn to make pottery/articles?
-No we don't learn to make articles or pottery pieces. Clay Conversation is more about letting yourself flow with the clay while sharing your thoughts with the group present. Yes we learn a few ways of handling clay to make what we want. But the learning here is very different from a regular pottery class
