Sculpture for Self-Reflection

Description

Working with clay can be a quiet way to look at your own thoughts. These ten PDF lessons introduce sculpture as a method of self-reflection and describe how to set up a creative space and choose materials.

You then read about handling clay mindfully, shaping emotions in clay form, and making a personal symbol sculpture. Later lessons cover textures as a form of expression, a series of sculptures that build on each other, and journaling about the process. The last lesson shows how to make sculpting part of daily life. Exercises appear in most lessons; no previous sculpting experience is assumed.

Who it is for: adults who want a hands-on creative practice for reflection, with no sculpting experience needed.
