This is a space to reconnect with your body through clay. In this hands-on clay workshop, we’ll explore the fat form as a source of inspiration - drawing from lived experience, body memory, and the narratives we carry about ourselves. Rather than focusing solely on representation, we’ll center the creative process as a tool for healing, reflection, and radical self-expression

Artist and facilitator Courtney will guide attendees in thoughtful conversation and creative play, encouraging a shift away from perfectionism and toward self-compassion. Their approach invites participants to engage with clay as a medium for exploring identity, embodiment, and the power of personal story.

All materials provided. Sculptures will be fired and available for pickup approximately 3 weeks after the workshop. Open to all levels - no clay experience necessary.
