Inclusive Pottery Workshop

Working with clay is a wonderful way to relax, express feelings, and find harmony.

Our volunteers pay great attention to the young members of the community with developmental disabilities. Various creative workshops and activities are organized for them. This time, our beneficiaries were invited to work with one of the oldest materials – clay. Pottery is a great way to bring fantasies to life and also helps develop fine motor skills, which is crucial for people with special needs.

Experts assert that working with clay helps to relax while developing creative potential and improving cognitive abilities. It's no wonder that volunteers chose this wonderful creative method of self-expression. The participants eagerly accepted the invitation and readily began crafting clay items, putting their individuality into each piece.

Under the guidance of experienced masters, participants created wonderful plates, which they later painted with a “lion” theme. Each plate reflected the creator's uniqueness. This is the essence of free creativity, where everyone can remain themselves and, through their craft, convey their vision and fantasies to the world.

Each new session within our creative project helps participants acquire useful skills and become more confident in their abilities. Additionally, regular meetings teach them to interact with each other, which is very important for people with special needs.

We thank our volunteers for their creative approach in organizing the workshops and for their attention to our participants. We also thank the participants for their desire to learn new things and discover hidden talents. We look forward to our next meetings!
