The use of the clay medium in a group setting is often enjoyable, self-affirming and can promote personal expression. The imagery created may be reflective of a person’s development, personality, concerns and conflicts or in the case of grief; it may reflect a tribute to the life or interests of the person who has died or a memory of time spent with them. It can offer enormous potential for person
al discovery and growth as well as a sense of community within a group. Visual expression serves to put tangible form to inner feelings. There is no need to be artistically inclined, because the emphasis is placed on process rather than product.
