The "invisible claying" does not imply that the creator is passively staring at a block of fine-grained sediment. On the contrary, it requires serious, in-depth attention, since we cannot use our eyes and can only rely on our sense of touch.
It's really not easy. Not for those who have never or rarely clayed because of blindness, and not for those who are sighted but blindfolded to "disable" one of their most frequently used sense organs.
What is it like to make a handful of "invisible" clay into a ball and then a cube? I will quote some of the thoughts that came to the participants as a result of their collective creation: 'letting go, imperfection, perseverance, concentration, calm, transformation, achievement, struggle'.
The photos speak for themselves.
