SERENDIPITY is the natural ability to find interesting or valuable things which one is not looking for. Clay art therapy supports this ability in that it provides the artist with emotional release and healing. It helps people to face the obstacles they have within themselves, and when stripped of their defenses, from that raw form, they begin to discover interesting and valuable things about themselves. Clay art therapy allows people to discover more fully who they are capable of being. This earthly, solid mass is explored by the senses; pushed, pulled, hollowed out, added to and moulded, emerging into a creation which is an expression of experience, inner being and hope. Lee Hutt, a psychotherapist once said about clay therapy, “It’s the same kind of feeling that you get when you fall in love.”
Clay art therapy at Serendipity takes the form of small handmade artifacts, consisting of details which allow for the exploration of different techniques. These creations will be bisque fired and then taken home in their beautiful natural, yet detailed form.
