Join us for a free, hands-on clay experience during Creative Wellness Month. In this drop-in activity, you’ll shape and decorate small, smooth clay stones—sometimes known as “worry stones”—that fit in the palm of your hand.
Traditionally used as tools for comfort and focus, these stones can also serve as personal touchstones: gentle reminders of calm, intention, or strength. You’ll have the chance to personalize yours with text imprints that hold meaning for you.
No experience needed. All ages welcome. Stay for a few minutes or longer—this is a relaxed, come-as-you-are opportunity to explore the grounding power of clay.
All materials provided. Final products will be available for later pickup after firing.
Objective: Skill Development, Creativity Enhancement
Outcome: Improved Technique, Creation of Artwork
