An immersive nature and clay workshop taking place outdoors throughout the summer at local wild places along the coast and in the woods.
A cré wandering begins with an introduction, followed by a guided nature walk in search of inspiration and natural materials to use as tools for handbuilding with clay. We'll spend time experimenting with ideas and techniques together before settling down at a quiet spot to create a small clay vessel or object inspired by our surroundings.
This seasonal offering welcomes adults of all abilities to join an excursion, including those who are new to clay, ceramic enthusiasts, fellow artists and makers.
If you are new to clay or an enthusiast,you might be interested in exploring this expressive medium as part of a unique experience in nature, without any pre-determined expectations or outcomes.
If you´re a fellow artist or maker, you might be interested in expanding your practice to include land-based processes while engaging in a group exploration.
As a nature-based artist and facilitator, I care about our environment and follow best practices that respect and sustain our beautiful wild places. I am a member of both the Youghal Blue & Green Community Network and Leave No Trace Ireland, and I hold certification in Permaculture.
