Beth’s workshop gave me a moment in my busy day to slow down, take a moment for myself and connect with myself and other mum’s in a creative way that felt nourishing and energising. I loved that Beth had personalised the workshop for mums, I made a trinket pot in the shape of a woman’s body, and Beth was so welcoming and helped my non arty self to produce something
I will cherish forever!

I loved the venue and space, the task itself was accessible to all, and your clear passion and enthusiasm for what you do.

I enjoyed learning a new skill, having some 'me time', meeting new people — the venue itself was really cool.

Clay is the antithesis of a digital world.
We spend our days pinged, scrolled and notified. Always reachable, rarely present. Living in our heads (and devices), moving at speed, rarely stopping long enough to feel our own hands.
​​
Working with clay asks the opposite of us. To slow down. To be present. It is cool, tactile and entirely analogue. There's no screen, no notifications, no rush. Just you, your hands, and something being made from nothing.
​
At BLW. Studio, we believe working with clay is one of the most powerful things you can do for your mind. Our workshops aren't about perfect technique or finished products. They're about the quiet, restorative act of art and creativity.
​
Workshops are designed and facilitated by Beth Lloyd-Wright: ceramicist, BLW. Studio director, mother and maker.

"I'm a great believer in the power of art and craft to transform our mental wellbeing. Since having my son in 2024 I've felt a particular pull to working with women, other mums, and supporting them, I currently do this as an enhanced DBS checked Peer Support Volunteer at South East London Mind 'Mindful Mums' programme. And I've created these workshops to offer women a space to slow down and reconnect with themselves."
