This workshop invites you to explore the art of working with clay—an opportunity to bond, ignite creativity, practise self-care, and collaborate with one another. As you shape something meaningful with your hands, take a moment to document your journey and share those special moments through photographs and reflections on this Padlet.

Let this be a time to fill your own cup before you pour into others.

• What challenges did you face while collaborating, and what aspects were most rewarding?

• How did the contributions from others influence the final outcome in ways you might not have anticipated on your own?

• In what ways can this activity help promote collaboration in our classrooms and among colleagues?

1. A collaborative clay creation made through the sequential contributions of multiple participants, each adding their unique touch.

2. A pinch pot crafted as part of a playful group activity inspired by the "Exquisite Corpse" method, where individual creativity blends into a surprising and cohesive final design.

The Exquisite Corpse (originally Cadavre Exquis in French) is a surrealist art technique invented in the 1920s by artists like André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, and Yves Tanguy. It began as a playful drawing game where multiple participants would contribute to a single artwork without seeing the previous sections.

1. A creative team game where players sculpt objects out of clay for their teammates to guess, adding a tactile twist to the classic Pictionary.

2. A playful bonding activity that combines imagination, collaboration, and a little bit of mess to spark creativity and laughter.

Together we can make a difference

No matter what happens, we will stand by each other!

We explored the tension and harmony between individuality and collective identity. Through contrasting elements, the work celebrates diversity while emphasizing the shared threads that connect us all, which is AMKPS.

Each cup, crafted with care, represents an individual, unique in shape and texture, yet all are interconnected in a dynamic arrangement. The design reflects the idea that we pour into one another, sharing experiences, emotions, and stories that enrich our lives. As one cup tilts, it spills its contents into another, illustrating the fluidity of relationships and the importance of nurturing one another’s growth.
