This workshop will begin with an hour long yoga session designed to activate and open the second chakra, the source of our creativity, pleasure, and joy. We will flow through various movements targeting this second (sacral) chakra, and set intention towards freeing creativity. The movement portion of the practice will close with several restorative poses, held for a longer duration for peace and relaxation. This will be followed by yoga nidra, a guided meditation, where one’s awareness is guided to the edge of sleep, a separate state of consciousness known as yogic sleep. This is a deeply relaxing practice which will again focus letting creativity flow.
From here there will be a half hour intermission, where some light snacks and refreshments will be served. During this time you are welcome to browse around the shop!
Through the second portion of the workshop, you will be exploring your creativity through your hands with Sydney. She will guide us on the proper hand building movements needed to create our unique and personalized bowls. We will use a hand building pinch pot method. Using our hands we will slowly turn our ball of clay around and around while we use our fingers to press and pinch into the clay making our bowl forms. After constucting our bowls Sydney will pass around brushes and pallets to add some creativity and color to our pinch pot bowls.
Once class is finished, the pottery pieces will be brought back to Shill Creations for proper firing. All pieces will be dipped in a clear glaze making them food and drink safe. Pieces are expected ready for pick up about one month after class. Pieces will be availbe for pick up at Tom&Chickpea in Derry, NH.
