Environment & Geography
The themes of Environment and Geography aim to bring us closer to our roots in nature and with the planet.
During a typical workshop participants create their unique art sculptures of different Animal and Plant Species around the world while engaging with environmental issues and learning creatively about ecosystems, biodiversity, endangered species and sustainability. We would go on to look at the effects on our planet, our health and how we can contribute to solving these problems.
Healthy Living
The themes of Healthy Living aim to connect us with our awareness of our mind, body and soul and give us relaxation and peace of mind.
At a typical workshop participants create their unique art sculptures of real objects or imaginative things. For example we explore sound and creative expression through Dream Journeys while creating fun art sculptures. We make models of the Human Body while learning about movement and bodily expressions as well as studying facial expressions by creating a likeness of our faces in clay. We Plant Seeds and learn how to grow our own plants and where possible we go on Nature Trails learning about medicinal wild plants. We also offer Yoga & Meditation for energy flow and connection to all living beings.
Creativity
The Creativity themes help us explore our imagination while developing creative skills and sensitivity.
We would do this by using the sense of touching and shaping clay, creating art pieces inspired by the Fantasy World or by the Real World. We offer Sound Journeys, listening to sound while expressing ourselves creatively. We offer Casting Objects, e.g. fruits in plaster. We also offer a Portrait-Sculpting workshop teaching the same techniques as Madame Tussauds to create a likeness of our faces (advanced level).
