MATERIALS NEEDED Figure (a model) to be reproduced by participants (sculpture, mug, bowl as a pattern to be made in max 1 hour for a beginner artist) Clay Pad Roller Clay tools Sandpaper (meeting 2 sanding works) Workshop without glazing PREPARATION STEPS It is necessary to prepare 3 meetings. The first meeting is to work with clay to reproduce the figurine/sculpture. The second meeting, after the work dries, is related to sanding the work. The last meeting is focused on discussion, watching the work of other participants and discussing the importance of tolerance and empathy in everyday life. IMPLEMENTATION STEPS 1.     Participants are given a MODEL which they are to reproduce it can be a bowl, for example, or a relatively simple sculpture, preferably after firing but without glaze, which can interfere with perception by touch. Time about 90 minutes. 2.     The products are left to dry (time up to two weeks). 3.     After the work of the participants has dried (time up to two weeks),the participants once again work with the pattern and grind their products according to the pattern. Time about 30 minutes. 4.    After the works/products are sanded, they are burned, and then the works of all participants are compared, each gets one of the works of another participant and the pattern in turn. The other participant’s work and the pattern can also compare with their own work and evaluate whether the works are similar, what they like about the works, what surprised them in the works of other participants. Evaluation, conversation and discussion of different points of view of the same subject, Time about 60 minutes DEBRIEFING/REFLECTION The trainer must be prepared to lead a discussion on tolerance of others’ opinions, feelings and emotions in a way that allows for a free exchange of ideas. SAFETY MEASURES At the beginning of the meetings with manual processing of clay each time there should be 15 minutes of introduction, indication of dangerous tools, arrangement of tools and explanation of the rules of work and at the end, there is 15 minutes of cleaning and arrangement of tools. INNOVATION/ADDED VALUE Combination of manual and mental work (reflection, discussion). VARIANT The design of the figurine/sculpture to be reproduced by the participants can be any and must depend on their ceramic working skills.     ACTIVITY TITLE “Shaping” your emotions AIM The purpose of this activity is to increase participants’ expressing of one’s emotions, talking about one’s emotions and being ready to tolerate them in life, and determining ways to express them TRAINEE(S) PROFILE(S) The trainer should have basic clay processing skills LEARNING OBJECTIVES (min. 3) Ability to listen to other ways of expressing emotions Training to exchange ideas Training in tolerance and empathy TEACHING METHOD(S) Manual skills of clay, to lead discussions about the nature of emotions, ways of expressing them, negotiating forms of expressing emotions N° OF PARTICIPANTS 5-10 DURATION (in minutes) First meeting 90 minutes, 2nd meeting after the participants’ works have dried 30 minutes, 3rd meeting after burning the works of the participants sanding and glaze application 60 minutes, fourth meeting discussing works, discussion in the topic of emotions – 60 minutes, total 240 minutes. MATERIALS NEEDED 10 tiles of different shapes. Different patterns and different glazes, clay, pad, roller, clay tools, sandpaper (meeting 2 sanding works), molds and tools for extruding patterns, glazes. Workshop with glazing. PREPARATION STEPS It is necessary to prepare 3 meetings. The first meeting is to work with clay to prepare work that express emotions. The second meeting, after the work dries, is related to sanding the work and glaze application. The last meeting is focused on discussion, watching the work of other participants and discussing the importance of emotions in everyday life. IMPLEMENTATION STEPS 1.      Each participant prepares 4 flat shapes symbolizing emotions: joy, peace, anger, sadness. Each flat piece of clay is decorated with chosen techniques: pressing, sticking, scratching, and cutting according to the appropriate vision of the emotion. Time: 90 minutes. 2.      After drying, the work is sanded according to the vision of the given emotion. Time: 30 minutes. 3.      After firing, the participant decorates the bas relief with glaze (of different textures). Time: 60 minutes. 4.     The finished beliefs are discussed in a group class, along with a discussion of individual interpretations. Time: 60 minutes.
