Middlebury Studio School

Bring more mindfulness to your pottery practice! We will begin the workshop with a meditation seated at the wheel, followed by free play. Enjoy being guided through an optional mindfulness exercise using clay, while you explore and experiment on the wheel. Throughout the class, suggestions will be made to “check in” with your position, posture and 5 senses. Working with clay can be therapeutic, as it requires one's full concentration on the medium. Using mindfulness in a wheel practice can be beneficial in helping one to focus on the present moment and boost creative expression. Intermediate/Advanced*

*This workshop will be curated for the group, and will be open to anyone with some experience throwing on a potter’s wheel (students should be able to center the clay consistently). No experience with mindfulness is required. Adults/Teens 16+

As the focus will be on the process and a mindfulness practice, students will not keep or fire pieces created in the workshop
