Pinch-by-Pinch: A Meditation with Clay
Guided by Stephanie Flom

Join us for a meditative workshop to connect with your breath, your hands, your Sankalpa, and a palm-sized ball of clay to slowly, mindfully, and silently form a small pinch pot/ offering bowl.

Ceramic artist and Sneha Collective student, Stephanie Flom, will gently guide us in this practice, inspired by Paulus Behrenson’s book Finding Ones Way With Clay.

Students will have the option of taking their greenware pottery with them after the workshop or returning the following week to pick up their bisque-fired work at Sneha.

Stephanie Flom:

Stephanie is an artist who works in collaboration with clay, the natural environment, and community to support a healthy, creative, and just world.

Her past artistic explorations include the Persephone Project which looked at the everyday work of gardening as a creative practice. Her installation and performance works centered on the mythologies of the goddesses Persephone and Lada, as well as the Slavic Rusalka, to connect current efforts to care for the earth to their powerful stories.

Stephanie is currently evolving from her day-work in leadership roles for Pittsburgh-area arts organizations, for which she is grateful to have served, to the soul-work of yoga, writing, pottery, time spent in nature and with family and friends
