	ituals is a three-hour clay handbuilding workshop in Amsterdam.\n\nWe begi
	n with a question: what moment in your day do you want to make more\ninten
	tional? Through guided reflection\, you'll map your own rituals. The small
	\ndaily acts that mark time and say\, this moment is chosen. Then you'll d
	esign and\nbuild a clay object for that moment\, with your hands\, at your
	 own pace.\n\nNo experience needed. No perfect result expected. There is t
	ea and coffee\, there\nis quiet\, and creativity.\n\nYour piece will be fi
	red and ready to take home within a few weeks. It will sit\nsomewhere you 
	see it every day: a cup\, a bowl\, an incense holder\, a small\nvessel. No
	t just an object\, but a reminder of that afternoon and what it felt\nlike
	 to slow down enough to make something real.\n\nClay has been part of huma
	n ritual for 10\,000 years. This workshop is a small\ncontinuation of that
	.\n\n‍\n\nWorkshop will be held in English.\n\nFor details and booking\, ple
