Join ARTime BARRO and Nicole Smolinski for an experiential ceramics workshop combining inner reflective exercises and conscious conversation with clay work to help you explore the symbolism of "release & rejuvenation." .About Workshop:

Nicole Smolinski, mental health professional & author of Finding My Way Back: Poems on Coming Alive, Healing & Self-Discovery, believes we can learn from the earth's cycles and that this can symbolically be true for us, too. This session will incorporate hand-building, where you'll be taught how to create a leaf incense holder from clay, with open-ended questions to provoke more profound thoughts surrounding spring's teachings.

Key points of discussion:

intentional loss: are you really losing something or is this leaf a representation and reminder of the change you’re going through and all of the beautiful things that might come out of that change

learning to let go, and the rejuvenation and freedom that can come from letting go

embracing change instead of fearing it
