# Event Details - **Event Name**: Using Clay in Therapeutic Conversations with Children and Teenagers - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Part of our series of Art Therapy Skills Days. A 1-day Live Event with Ellie Baker.About this EventOverviewOn this day, you’ll learn how children and teenagers who struggle to articulate feelings about important life events, can use clay to symbolically shape their inner world. Moulding in such a deeply tactile way enables children to enter flow states whilst supporting safe exploration of what matters in their lives.Additionally, through experiential work on the day, you will have first-hand experience of how the hands-on nature of clay work is very grounding and calming, helping to reduce stress and promote mindfulness. Group clay sessions foster cooperation, communication, and delightful peer interaction. The shared creative process can also promote empathy and understanding among children.Overall, clay therapy can support emotional regulation, sensory integration alongside processing of life events, making it a valuable tool in both therapeutic and educational environments for children of various ages and abilities.Please note: These days are very much an introduction to the use of the therapeutic arts to enhance your listening skills and creative ways of connecting with children and young people. If you're interested in further training, please see TISUK and IATE for professional programs.About the presenterEllie BakerExpert in arts therapy and child psychotherapy, supervision, illustration, parenting.Integrative Arts Psychotherapist/Supervisor (UKCP).
