Finally, an art class where you won't get in "trouble" for exploring or for being excited and having fun. In this workshop, you're in charge! You make the rules!
Touch is a necessary part of life. Touch is vital for not only mental and emotional health, but physical health, too. Lately, though, we haven't been able to touch almost anything for fear of getting sick.
In this workshop you will get the full sensory experience of playing and building with clay. Clay regulates our sensory system and unleashes our inner artist, but most importantly clay is super satisfying to touch. It helps erase stress and keep us grounded.

them on their path to Liberation.
