Mud-itation (a mindfulness practice using clay)

Pottery teacher from Ashland (Diana A. Griffin of dagworks.com, previously Debra) will provide materials and lessons to create your own hand-built pinch pot bowl inspired by mindfulness and meditation. 

We will practice mindfulness while creating our own bowl (optionally decorating with marks, stamps, and/or underglaze)...listening to our own thoughts and feelings that arise while pinching/mark making, and/or the sounds of birds and other nature sounds (from recorded audio). In addition, Diana will invite sharing of stories of how folks practice mindfulness: what have you learned and what works for you? 

After the event, Diana will take home the bowls to dry, bisque fire, clear glaze, then fire again...so they will be taken home after that is completed. The bowls will be food and dishwasher safe.

WHEN: Saturday. Aug. 13, 3:00 - 4:30pm

3 minimum, 6 maximum students

COST:  $35 for 1.5 hr. to make (and later take home) a fired pinch pot

Payment of $35 (non-refundable) is due at time of registration.

The class fee includes clay, and other materials and tools needed, 2 firings, and clear glazing inside the bowl done for each student.

Pick up of finished work would be arranged: either from Diana's pottery studio in Ashland, or from Five Crows (a month or so after the class)
