Women’s Circle with Clay, Fire and Community: Environmental Art Therapy
5th – 6th September &
3rd- 4th October 2026
A four-day immersive pottery workshop and circle for women, over two weekends, held in Heartwood’s unique private woodland.
Guided by Kate and Mary — both Art Psychotherapists and ceramic artists — this is a safe, intimate space for a small group of women to come together, slow down, and go inward.
5th – 6th September
Over our first weekend, we will co-create a sacred space within a circle of trees as we work with story, poetry, movement, drumming, and ritual. Using natural materials and clay, you will be guided through hand-building pottery techniques and deep self-enquiry — fashioning your soul’s responses into form, honing and expanding your work at your own pace.
3rd – 4th October
The second weekend turns to the ancient, alchemical art of pit-firing. Together, we will build and tend the fire, tenderly placing your pieces into the pit to be transformed. This most elemental of processes holds its own kind of magic — and we will hold you through every step of it.
You will leave with a clay piece that is entirely your own, shaped by your hands and fired by the flame.
