Sculpting the Self

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.
