Welcome to my clay universe!
Hi, I am Plam and I know that clay heals.
The very first time I touched clay, I was enchanted. I played with it, made ceramic pieces and couldn’t let go of the wet lumps that embraced my soul and gave way to my ideas. My ceramic brand Imperfections by Plam was born to spread the message that happiness is more important than perfection.
Working with clay every day changed me in ways I hadn’t expected. Through my own process of healing and transformation, a deeper desire emerged - to create a safe and welcoming space where others could experience the same magic and the transformative power of clay. This led me to study General Psychology, Foundations in Arts Therapy, and to complete a course in Conversations with Clay with Lynne Souter-Anderson.
These days I stand at a line that feels terrifying and exhilarating - I am beginning to build my life’s work around the healing power of clay. As I continue my education, my intention is simple: to help more people reconnect with themselves through clay, and to make this work accessible to as many as I can, online and in-person.
The Conversations with clay workshops I facilitate, and especially the repeated, unhurried interactions with clay, support the restoration of emotional and psychological wellbeing. Spending one to two hours modelling clay, reflecting, and exploring different topics allows the body and mind to slow down, release tension, and find clarity. No previous experience with clay is needed - only curiosity and your willingness to begin.
A love letter to clay or how clay heals
Clay heals by taking away what you have more of (stress, worries, anxiety, difficult emotions like anger, sadness, grief). Thus, it leaves you more space to feel, listen and connect with yourself and your inner wisdom. Your inner resources - your intuition, love, joy, passion, inspiration, become the engine that drives your life forward. Authentically and unapologetically.
Clay is a wonderful companion, who accepts you unconditionally and never makes loud demands. It teaches you quietly about yourself, about life and about how to get to where you want to be. Think of it as a mirror that gently takes you by the hand and leads you on a journey within. If you sit with it long enough, you will not only hear your inner wisdom, but you will hear the wisdom of the Universe narrated by the clay you hold in your hand. For some people working with clay can be a meditative, and even spiritual experience.
Conversations with clay in person
Currently run only in London, UK. Sign up below if you are interested in online workshops.
In Conversations with clay: JOY we will explore how joy manifests in our lives. What are the things we enjoy doing? How can you make more space for joy in our routine? So many questions only you can find the answer to. So much joy to experience!
In Conversations with clay: CREATIVITY we will play with clay, and we will explore what we can create from a place where there is no one to please and no requirements to meet. If you can make anything, why don’t you create what your heart truly wants?
In Conversations with clay: DREAMS we will spend some time reflecting on what we dream of in life. Big or small, all dreams are welcome. Give yourself the gift of playing with clay while meditating on your most meaningful aspirations. What do you wish to bring in your life? What will your life look like when your dreams have become reality?
