The Healing Habitat and KRB Ceramics are partnering to create a community art project. Participants will be guided through the process of creating a clay face-shaped planter which will provide them a way to express how they felt during the Corona virus pandemic.
Student work fresh out of the glaze kiln
In acts of creative expression, we have the ability to use our consciousness and hold space for our own healing, clarity, closure, reflection. I believe this process of creative expression to be therapeutic and communal and one that opens up the dialogue and allows us to reunite and come back together.
To learn from one another just how complex this time of our lives truly was. The roles that you played within our community and within your family during the pandemic should be expressed and explored. My hopes are that in doing so, we can create a beautiful collaborative body of work to be displayed for a time being so we can feel the magnitude of it all, find a deeper appreciation for perseverance, and then take steps forward with more awareness. These pieces will be displayed together in an Art Exhibition where families are invited to take it in as a whole. Once the work has been enjoyed, your piece will return home with your family and serve as a reminder of your strength and resiliency through 2020.
Karen Beall has very kindly agreed to hold space and help facilitate this beautiful collaborative body of work with The Healing Habitat, welcoming us into her home studio-KRB ceramics to create these pieces in community. We are looking for a minimum of 24 students, family members to build this project and help us in raising a minimum donation of $500 to a local organization that supported those who were greatly impacted by the pandemic. For the cost of each registration, $15 is donated back into our community in honor of you.
Please join us in creating a special piece for yourself, with your family and friends, and to be a part of an exhibition that so many will connect to in recognition of the perseverance of humanity through a global pandemic.
A few spaces still remain!
