Use your hands and play with clay this UMHD. It's not about getting it perfect! It's about going with the flow of what feels comfortable to you and connect with the experience of working with your hands, and with the energy among all attending. You have total control to create something for you, an object as a conversation starter or something of significance to give to someone you appreciate.
There will also be food to enjoy and health promotion resources available to you!
