Clay Art workshop to support members of the community who may be experiencing loneliness.
The creative process is a means of expression. It is a symbolic means of communication, with art being a work of the mind.
The act of artistic creation plays a significant role in the treatment of many pathologies. They are the intrinsic qualities of artistic production that will play a role in our brain through the feelings of happiness and the effort required. The aim of art is not to fleetingly amaze us, but to take us on a “peaceful and delightful” journey, sailing from satisfaction to satisfaction. This satisfaction is closely linked to the sense of fulfilment that comes from producing an artwork.
