The Alchemy of Clay: A Retreat Reflection

“An immersive, interactive and truly authentic artistic time awaits you when you have the opportunity and pleasure of coming alongside Sarah .

A welcome of such incredible warmth and positive energy greeted me, allowing me to feel immediately at ease and open to learning. Particularly from such an iconic ceramicist, whose coiled vessels and unique methods I have admired for many years.

My valuable time with Sarah can only be described as a nurturing ‘one to one’ retreat. She opened each morning with breath and yoga with meditative practices that allowed me to sink into the clay with ease.

Quietly observing without judgement, Sarah seamlessly guides and blends flexibility and adaptability to her sessions, dependant on how you are feeling, what you are curious about and what may be holding you back.

Sarah is incredibly generous of spirit. A whole new perspective opened up for me.

We all have our unique creative expression and i found a way to ‘surrender”, to witness an inner freedom with myself through clay. As well as gaining confidence in taking my work where i had never imagined.

Sarah mentored me kindly and gently on ways to work with natural, seasonal and foraged local materials, it was a gift.

After our time together i was on a creative high with a significantly altered outlook to apply to my everyday life and work for the future with increased confidence, self compassion and new skills that can only be learnt alongside a true artist.

This is so, so much more than a course….. “
