BKLYN CLAY partners with Touching Land and Carolina Rubio-MacWright to host a 2-class “in conversation” series. Each session will bring together immigrant and New York-based communities, providing a space to discuss and reflect on our diverse experiences in the current socio-political climate. The objective of this series is to create a space for neighbors to make connections within their diverse community and talk with people with whom they may not have otherwise interacted. Throughout the first evening, participants will make slab-built plates to commemorate the shared techniques, experience, and ideas. In the second evening, we will glaze those works as we continue our conversation.

Your ticket price covers the cost of the instructor, materials, firing, translators, and allows for both you and an immigrant community member to be at the workshop.

• Brooklyn clay (map)

Classes start January for the first Group of Participants

Through a grant (Immigrant Initiative)  given to CHASHAMA, by different city Council Members, I will be crafting different workshops that will be hosted by the organization or at Brooklyn Clay.  Most of the workshops use clay as the primary material

The classes are for undocumented immigrants and are primarily geared towards teaching Know Your Rights, focussing on immigrants rights and policy changes.

The workshop will focus on creating a vessel of the participants choice and learning the process from hand building with clay, choosing a design and following firing and glazing, until the object is ready for use. The class will help the participants find ways to relax and digest their lives, along with some  empowering sessions focussing on immigration law and rights of immigrants in this country and also any pressing information regarding rights, that need to be addressed by the group. These workshops will be principally for empowering women through knowledge of the law and also therapy of their soul.
