taking shape: a creative workshop series based in expressive arts
About this Event
About
Taking shape is a four-part creative workshop series using expressive arts (drawing, clay, and reflective writing) to explore the connections that hold us in place, the ones that shape us, and the spaces between. No experience needed, just curiosity, and a desire to connect and create.
September is for starting things
Come join us on four Tuesday evenings. The same small group. Something new in your hands each week. No small talk required, just materials on the table and something to make.
We'll slow down, go offline, and let our hands lead

the four weeks
Week 01 | rooting down
22 September, visual arts
Using visual arts and basic drawing, we'll explore what grounds you, what you bring with you, and what you're building.
Week 02 | taking form
29 September, shaping clay
Working with clay, we'll form and mould with our hands what is here, and what is arriving.
Week 03 | listening in
6 October, reflective writing
We'll use reflective writing to make space for the quiet and loud parts that want to be heard, and follow the lines connecting us.
Week 04 | coming together
13 October, integration
In our final session, we'll bring together the pieces from our three weeks and make one last work in response to them, with space for your expression to be seen and heard.
the shape of an evening
Each evening follows the same gentle shape. We arrive together, settling in with some easy movement and breath, then something light and playful to warm up, before we move into the main making of the evening. Each week has a different material at its centre, with different creative practices woven through.
There are moments to share with the group if you'd like to. Sharing is always an invitation, never a requirement, but space is given for you to express yourself. We end each evening together, softly closing what was opened with some quiet reflection.
This is a journey across four weeks, not a single evening. We create together, week by week, with faces and spaces becoming more familiar as we connect a little more with ourselves and each other.

where this came from
Hi, I'm Zoé, an expressive arts facilitator and the founder of the sozo space.
I've been in Berlin a long time, and I'm still working out what makes a place begin to feel like home. It's something I've seen many people wrestling with in this fast city, where connection can be surprisingly hard to find. This series grew from that. Wherever you are right now, rooted or searching or somewhere in between, you're welcome exactly as you are.
There's more of the sozo space over on Instagram, and more about this series on my website, if you'd like to look before you book.
taking shape, week by week, together
Four Tuesdays. One small group. A handful of materials. Time to be quiet and go offline, making something with your own hands. Come as you are; you're welcome here. We'll start from there.
