Creative Open Day: Traces, Time, and Clay

Join us for the next Creative Open Day with artists, Lucía Pizzani and José García Oliva leading us in two activities throughout the day.

You can join for 20 minutes or you can stay with us the full day – you are very welcome either way!

The two workshops will run side by side throughout the afternoon, welcoming people of all ages to drop in, spend time making, and leave whenever they wish. These are open, informal spaces for playful exploration, reflection, and shared creativity across generations.

With José García Oliva: How Words Fly and What Happens When They Land

This workshop explores language as something physical and unstable; something that can be held, suspended, dropped, or broken apart. Using sculptural paper, poetry, and free multilingual writing, participants will experiment with words as material forms rather than fixed meanings.

Each person will create two responses: one to keep and one to add to a collective work that will evolve over the course of the day.

With Lucía Pizzani: Clay, Plants, and Traces of Place

This workshop uses clay to open conversations around identity, migration, landscape, and memory. Working with clay and collected plants, participants will shape materials by hand, create marks and textures, and transfer these impressions onto paper to make clay “drawings,” similar to monotypes.

Drawing on over 12 years of ceramic practice, Lucia uses the tactile, malleable nature of clay to create a reflective, shared making experience.
