Workshops

In the hands-on workshops, each participant will receive a slab of clay to trace their hand. After cutting out the hand shape, you will have the opportunity to decorate it with unique motifs, patterns, and designs that reflect your cultural heritage or personal values.

 

Installation

These unique hand-shaped pieces will be fired and glazed, then combined into 4 larger single hand installations in each municipality.  Look out for details of the unveiling at each municipality.

 

After Installation

Participants will have the opportunity to collect their hand to keep as a personal memento. Each hand is a unique creation, reflecting your cultural heritage and personal story, and we want you to take it home as a lasting reminder of your contribution to this collaborative artwork.

Collection details will be shared on our dedicated Harmony in Cultures project page.
