Let's clay
Working with clay brings a powerful sense of balance and calm to our busy lives. It offers a great opportunity to reconnect with our inner selves and rediscover the joy of creating by hand, something we often miss in our daily routines.
This is a place where we slow down. This is where we design, form and create together.
Engaging with clay can provide a healing experience, promoting calmness and a deeper connection with our emotions. This hands-on activity encourages creativity and fosters a sense of community, allowing participants to connect to each other and share their experiences while creating.
Clay workshops for all
My workshops create a serene and inclusive space where you can reconnect with your creativity in a supportive environment. For these workshops no prior experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and creativity!
You dream, I design!
Do you imagine having a set of tea mugs that feels like it was made just for you? Or a pair of espresso cups to add a little more joy to your mornings? Or maybe there’s another meaningful piece you’d love to have for yourself or to give to someone special? That’s what I love to create!
My work is crafted in small batches, produced with care but without waste. Recycling is always part of the journey, so you can enjoy your custom made order with peace of mind knowing that they were made with the planet in mind.
A poem by Elena Bernabé
Hands are the antennas of our soul
“Grandma, how do you deal with pain?”
“With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more.”
“With your hands, grandma?”
“Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking it into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your soul calms down. This way she doesn’t have to send pain anymore to show it.”
“Are hands really that important?”
“Yes my girl. Thinking of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touches. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body. Everything that is made by hand, so is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseuses know this: When they touch another person’s body with their hands, they create a deep connection. Thinking of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way.”
“My hands grandma… how long haven’t I used them like that!”
“Move them my girl, start creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won’t hurt anymore. Because you managed to embroider your essence.”
