Book in some down-time to get your hands in some mud!
Creating little ceramic things you can use at home, helps bring ritual and mindfulness to your everyday life. In today's world, we can easily get whipped up into online scrolling, get sucked into the busy-ness of work, and reality just turns into a blur.
We need these little dopamine hits from the real world to ground us and remind us who we are and what we value. What do we want to reclaim, and ensure we make time for?
We've got you covered! Come and learn the art of clay hand-building!
