Sculpting the Self

4 weeks ago

This series of six sculpting workshops with Sophia Daly Rossin focuses on the process of working with clay—not producing a finished piece. Through a mixture of exercises and games, we’ll explore different ways to make, think, and play. Along the way, you’ll improve your skills, creativity, well-being, and confidence.

  • Free for residents of Hammersmith & Fulham [use code: ResHF]

  • These workshops are open to all skill levels.

  • Due to limited spaces, booking in advance is essential.

  • All materials will be supplied

 

The Three Core Elements

Each session involves three interconnected elements: physical skill-building, emotional and therapeutic exploration, and connection through playful, inventive games.

1. Practical & Technical Skill Development

  • Refining your sculpting abilities through guided exercise
  • Building confidence in form, proportions, and likeness
  • Developing hand-eye coordination and motor control
  • Exploring perception and perspective
  • Strengthening tactile manipulation and proper use of tools

2. Emotional & Therapeutic Exploration

  • Engaging the body through meaningful movement
  • Sculpting with music as emotional expression
  • Practising self-discovery through free-form sculpting
  • Heightening sensory awareness
  • Self-expression through gesture and form

3. Fun & Playful Connection

  • Encouraging creativity and curiosity through play
  • Games that spark imagination and experimentation
  • Activities that foster communication and connection
  • Collaboration, teamwork, laughter, and light-hearted fun
