Soft Open invites participants on a tactile journey into the meditative art of ceramics, blending traditional techniques with a contemporary, sensory approach. Designed for those curious about the physicality and calm of working with clay, this hands-on workshop emphasizes mindfulness, presence, and exploration of texture through the ceramic-making process.

In Soft Open, participants will have the opportunity to experience ceramics in an immersive, sensorial way. The session begins with a grounding meditation and a guided touch exercise, helping participants connect with the cool, malleable qualities of clay. Guided by skilled artisans, each participant will learn essential hand-building techniques to shape, mold, and create organic forms, with an emphasis on intuitive and tactile exploration over precision.
