We run permanent recreational therapy workshops using clay modelling.

Laboratori in ospedale

Permanent workshops

In the children’s departments of Italian hospital facilities accommodating long-stay patients, mainly in Oncology and Haematology, Day-Hospital and Neuropsychiatry departments.
Every week.

Laboratori digitali

Special projects

Intensive workshops in facilities or associations that work with serious and chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence (earthquake-affected areas, children with SMA).
Limited duration.

Our method

Clay handling is much more than just a recreational activity to pass the time and alleviate boredom in hospital. To different extents and on different levels, the act of handling is a form of self-expression, and therefore an opportunity to access the inner world through non-verbal methods of communication and expression.
