Clay & Sensitivity

A workshop exploring sensitivity through clay with ceramicist Lorna Bode.

Clay, Sensitivity and Creativity: Following the Quiet Voice Within

Have you ever said the words “I’m not creative”?

For many sensitive people, creativity is something we enjoyed when we were younger, but somewhere along the way it’s become more elusive. Perfectionism, self-consciousness or the pressure to get things right can make creativity feel less natural.

In a space where we can truly slow down and feel comfortable, creativity can unfold in unexpected ways. It becomes a gentle, meaningful way to notice the world we’re a part of, follow our curiosity, and express who we are. Join ceramic artist, creative educator and founder of Pause for Creativity, Lorna Bode, for a two-hour workshop exploring sensitivity and creativity through clay.

Through clay, conversation and playful experimentation, we will explore creativity in a hands-on and accessible way, and celebrate how sensitivity enriches our lives. Working with liquid and soft clay, we’ll experiment, follow our curiosity and see what emerges, before creating a simple pinch pot. You can take your creation home or choose to return it to the earth.

There is no expectation to be artistic or create something impressive. The focus is on curiosity, connection and enjoying the experience of making.

You are welcome whether you already see yourself as creative or whether you have never thought of yourself that way.

This workshop is part of HushFest, Cornwall’s Festival of Quietness, taking place from 4th to 10th July 2026. Through exhibitions, workshops, performances, and community-created artwork, HushFest celebrates quietness as a source of creativity, connection, and belonging.
