Join Deaf/Hard of Hearing Teaching Artist Aistė Rye of Aiste Rye Creative LLC and Art Therapist Katrina Van Strien of Pearl Art Therapy & Counseling for this pop-up therapeutic art workshop "Clay Play & Paper Mache" to connect to your intuition and let go of perfection.

During this art therapy workshop, you will play with a papier-mâché layering method, so say farewell to anxiety and hello party-in-a-bowl (or vessel)! Vessels can symbolize the body as a container of the soul or spirit. Vessels also represent the mind and heart, holding thoughts, emotions, and experiences. By the end of this workshop, you will have created a unique vessel by applying the art of papier-mâché with the guidance of the Teaching Artist and Art Therapist.

No artistic experience is necessary–just an open mind and willingness to explore! Community workshops at The Spirit Lab are designed to be fun and engaging, allowing you time to rest, reflect, and experiment with different art supplies and techniques.
