WORKSHOPS
Why take a ceramics workshop?
To learn an exciting new skill or technique

AND
To enjoy the Benefits of Creative Handwork
Workshop Schedule
Creative Handwork is any activity involving repetitive movements with the hands that induces or promotes a meditative state of mind. Creative pursuits such as sculpting, sanding, sewing, knitting, crocheting, writing, painting, drawing, sawing, you name it – they all put you in a ‘Zen’ mind place. Although physical exercise involving repetitive motion can induce a similar mental state, it doesn’t provide the same tangible results.

Becoming involved in any creative activity benefits us no matter what our age is. Taking the time and devoting funds to learning new things makes us healthier and happier than a trip to the doctor! Making a craft means that you usually have something tangible from the process also that you and keep or give away. Give yourself the gift of increased joy and health by participating in creative handwork class today!
