This workshop with Eve Wetlaufer seeks to explore inner strength and personal symbolism through animal forms.

  • workshop description

    Eve is taken with the healing and grounding power of clay, and embraces clay work as an active meditative practice.  

     

    In this 2 day workshop, participants will create small animal sculptures using clay, drawing inspiration from animals they feel personally connected to, or that represent qualities they aspire to embody. The focus will be on the symbolic nature of animals as personal representations of inner traits, such as courage, resilience, or gentleness. 

     

    Led by Eve Wetlaufer, who in addition to being a professional potter,  has dedicated her life to animal welfare and environmental justice  earning an advanced degree in Animal Studies at NYU. She is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Art Therapy.

     

    The second class  will introduce students to glaze techniques suitable for their sculptures. Pieces will be fired and available for pick up  by the end of the week. No prior experience is needed. Come and explore!
