Creating a Clay Figurine of Freya is a special event dedicated to exploring the divine feminine through the art of clay modeling. In this session, we will focus on Freya, the powerful Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, war, and magic. Participants will have the opportunity to craft a clay figurine inspired by her rich symbolism, allowing you to connect with her energy and essence.

During the session, we will explore the origins and depictions of Freya, learning how she has been honored across different cultures and historical periods. We will also discuss how to set up an altar to invite her divine power into your life, deepening your connection to the sacred feminine.

As a visual reference, we will examine traditional representations of Freya and other goddess figures, noting her unique attributes and symbolism. The figurine can be designed in a simple or more elaborate style, making it suitable for all levels of experience. Beginners will receive guidance and helpful tips, while more experienced participants are encouraged to experiment and add their own creative touches.

What to expect:

- Myth storytelling to inspire reflection
- Crafting a clay figurine of Freya
- Infusing our creations with personal intentions and insights
- Using our making process as a form of sympathetic magic to convey our reflections and aspirations
- Sharing our insights and celebrating collective renewal through our shared creations

Join us for an inspiring 2.5-hour session at L'étoile Art Space—an opportunity to connect with the goddess within and express her divine energy through art.

All materials provided; no prior experience necessary.
Whether you have modeled clay before or are new to the art, the making of this figurine is easily achievable for all levels. Instructions and tips will be provided to absolute beginners, while the more experienced will be free to experiment with more complex techniques. There is also an option to use air-dry clay or firing clay—firing pieces can be requested on the day and done for a small extra fee.
