Pounding clay on the table really lets out frustration. The Johnson museum is beautiful on a Sunday afternoon. I love going to the clay event at the Johnson Museum. As a Cornell student I always feel as if I do not have time for relaxation and fun. I will talk myself out of doing things for myself. This event is great because it gave me time to relax and explore my artistic side. I made a wonderful Shark mug hat I now have filled with seashells from my trip to the beach over fall break. Everytime I look at it I am reminded of two great memories that let the stress melt away. I highly recommend coming to the next clay event at the Johnson if you haven’t gone before.
Rose Scholars Fall 2018
Endless possibilities
Now that Rose Scholars is finishing up, I can safely say that the sculpting event at the Johnson. I completely agree that throwing the clay was great stress relief, and the Johnson was beautiful. This was a great break from studying and was an awesome chance to be creative. I love the idea of filling a shark mug with sea shells!
Taking a break from doing work to focus on self care is a great way to avoid burning out and maintaining mental health.
