SANDRA FALKEBORN

Between Hand and Clay is a half-day course in meeting clay, suitable for adults and young adults.

​

The course is meditative in nature and aims to explore what happens to creation when we focus inward and let other senses than the eyes lead. The meeting between the hand and the clay is the focus; our ideas, ideas about the clay and formation become secondary. We create and sculpt freely in clay and the works that are formed at the time of the course are deformed after each occasion (unless otherwise strongly expressed by course participants). None of what is formed will be fired or saved by the course leader. Different exercises with a focus on different senses will be available as inspiration for the shaping. Each exercise is completely voluntary and intended as an aid. No previous knowledge is required to participate in the course.

​

The course is suitable for those who want to unwind and get in touch with the self. It is also suitable for those who want to explore free creation in clay.

​

The course has room for six to eight participants.

Original Clay is a one-day course focusing on man's known earliest expression in clay. Man has been burning clay for about 30,000 years and then small female figures, so-called venuses, were formed. Much later we began to empty small vessels, sometimes with pointed feet. The focus of the course is precisely to shape small figurines or thumb small vessels. As inspiration, there will be pictures of various historical venuses and vessels. We will listen to different creation stories from different parts of history and the world. Each participant has the opportunity to have a figure and a vessel burned and it will be picked up at a later time after the course.

 

No previous knowledge of clay is required to participate in the course.
