Clay is a hands-on medium that grounds you in the moment and offers a soothing outlet for emotions. Join us to try one of these clay-focused activities to reduce stress and foster self-understanding:
Clay Weather Vessels: Shape your anxiety as a vessel inspired by different types of weather—stormy, foggy, or calm. Notice how the clay changes as you work with your feelings.
Safe Space Sculpture: Build a small clay shelter or figure that represents a place or person where you feel safe and comforted.
Grounding Tokens: Form three small clay objects that symbolize stability in your life (a stone, a tree, an anchor). Hold and reflect on them when you need grounding.
Coping Tools Tiles: Make a set of clay tiles, each representing a different coping skill (deep breaths, a walk, a supportive friend). Decorate them with textures or symbols.
Worry Bowl: Mold a bowl to hold your worries. After forming your worries into small clay pieces, place them in the bowl, then decide what to do—keep, reshape, or discard.
Body Map Relief: Gently press clay to create a relief map of your body. Add texture or color to the areas where you feel stress, then smooth them out to practice releasing tension.
Trigger Stones: Sculpt clay stones that represent each stress trigger. Arrange them in a way that feels manageable, or create a path through them to symbolize coping.
Self-Care Tokens: Craft and decorate clay charms that remind you of self-care activities. Carry them as gentle reminders.
Thought Transformation Plaque: Flatten a slab of clay and inscribe an anxious thought on one side. On the other side, carve or press a more hopeful or balanced message.
Support System Circle: Form a ring of interconnected clay shapes to represent the people, animals, or resources that support you. Place it somewhere visible to remind you you’re not alone.
