SERIES:

The following series of events (Clay Workshops & Co-Counselling) are both a series of workshops where you are invited and encouraged to attend all four workshops.

Clay Workshops:

Those of us in and around Hull are surrounded by MUD and CLAY, - 'boulder clay', ground down, dragged and dumped here by the last glacier 22,000 years ago. Rather than being 'dirty, germy, brown, boring' stuff, this clay is full of life...organisms, history, food sources for other wild life, and creative potential.

We are going to Dig it up, purify/process it, make it usable, create a pot or little animal and, during 'This Place's final camp out, we going to fire it in a homemade fire pit.)
