CLAYMATES

Ceramics for Social Enterprise with Manu

Clay work is both calming and skill-building—it engages the senses, strengthens hand coordination, and fosters creativity. Claymates is where creativity and craft come together through hands-on clay work. Participants learn to mould, sculpt, and glaze ceramic pieces from start to finish. With the option to contribute to our social enterprise, they build purpose, patience, and pride in creating something lasting. Clay becomes a tool for sensory regulation, fine motor development, and personal expression.

Outcomes

• Enhances fine motor skills and patience
• Supports creativity and self-directed making
• Builds confidence through purposeful tasks
• Promotes sensory exploration and focus
