Claybody

Settle your nervous system and spend some quality time with clay.

CLAYBODY is introspective, trauma-aware arts programming created in response to my experiences in the studio working with folks who are burned out from work, exposed to trauma regularly and feeling depleted, hopeless and/or in need to quality time with the material world (and themselves).

Waveform hosts two CLAYBODY offerings currently: Claybody Craft Night, a sliding scale bimonthly group class on Thursdays from 6:30 - 8:30pm for $20-40, and Private 1:1 Lessons for $165. Sign up for Claybody Craft Night here, or get the conversation started about private lessons here.

Claybody is for…

  • folks working with the environment or animal services

  • caregivers & healthcare workers

  • trauma stewards (social work, education, etc.) in need of protective remedies for burnout

  • self-acknowledged perfectionists and recovering people pleasers

  • knowledge workers who feel stuck or uninspired

  • people who feel a disconnect with their bodies

CLAYBODY includes...

  • Thoughtful music that engages the senses and supports emotional well-being.

  • Movement: stretching, body scans and movement to promote physical well-being and release tension.

  • Clay, and throwing on the wheel: opportunities to express yourself and explore your inner world through clay in motion.

  • Emphasis on supported failure: an environment where you can experiment, take risks, and learn without judgment.

  • Peer-support: an opportunity to connect

  • CLAYBODY offers private sessions for $165, or group Craft Nights for a sliding scale of $20 - 40.

  • Claybody offerings are slower and more process-focused. You may end up keeping what you make, but it's not the end goal. CLAYBODY group offerings also create a container and opportunity for peer-support.
