The Spirit of Clay

Sacred Creativity Workshop by Quiet Clay Cape Town

Join us at the beautiful Sufi Temple at the Cape Town Centre for Unity in Newlands for an afternoon of exploring the gift of our innate creativity through the sacred medium of clay.

Working with wild terracotta clay, sustainably sourced from the Knysna Forest, participants will receive guidance in the three clay hand-building techniques, to build a clay vessel of their own.

The programme includes meditation, visualisation, nature immersion, and a leisurely paced contemplative clay session, followed by a bring & share lunch in the lush temple gardens.

The workshop will be hosted by experienced potter and ceramic artist, Riana Alet, formerly of Knysna Forest Pottery.
