Creative self-expression with clay

Pöllau

About the offer

Based on the concepts of Arno Stern

Expressing oneself is a fundamental human need and nothing inhibits us more than the fear of making a mistake or being judged.

In this workshop, children can express themselves freely with clay. They can create shapes, change them as they wish and start again from the beginning. The shapes are not interpreted or judged.
The focus is on the process and playful self-expression.
The forms themselves have no purpose and are not taken away or fired. I pay attention to the group dynamics and assist the students, but do not instruct them.
