With your hands you make a work out of clay. Eda from my clay retreat shows various techniques. You exchange ideas with other participants. Creating together is bonding. Having your hands in the clay is soothing and brings us closer to our emotions.
PRACTICAL INFO
Bring an apron or old clothing (to catch stains)
With short fingernails you can create more shapes
After the workshop your creation will be further cared for. We bake, dry and glaze. This takes about 6 weeks. You will receive a message when your work is ready.

HALF & HALF. Half do, half speak Dutch.
Are you a Dutch speaker?
Join in and help someone practice Dutch.
For each activity there are 3 places for Dutch speakers.
Send an email to valentine.warlop@muntpunt.be to register.
You simply join the workshop and talk Dutch with the other participants in the meantime. Veel Brusselaars are learning Dutch, but do not always know enough Dutch speakers to chat with. That is precisely why such a simple conversation during an activity can mean a lot: trying out words, asking questions, daring to make mistakes.
This is how you experience a fun activity and help someone speak Dutch with more confidence.
Who is Eda?
In 2016 my adventure in Belgium started. I am a ceramicist with a background in architecture. From my desire to work with my hands, I chose this soothing path: my clay retreat.
I want to create experiences where people feel connected, welcome and serene. A warm community. That remains the core of my work. As my hands went deeper into the clay, clay became my language and my meditation. Working with clay is for me an expression of emotions. It gives a feeling of balance and helps us to slow down.
That is why I organize inclusive events. Where people sculpt with clay and support each other, meeting on the road to social transformation.
