Last Sunday we gathered for a practical workshop as part of the Humelody project. Under the mentorship of Guillermo and Katarina, we learned to shape ceramic cups and plates. While we molded the clay, we reflected on the importance of human rights and how they affect our everyday lives.

After this collective reflection, the participants chose one or more human rights that personally resonate with them, and wrote them down on their handmade piece. After finishing the design and decoration, Guillermo and Katarina took our creations to their studio in Ljubljana, where they were fired in the kiln twice to make them durable and ready for use. Once the process was completed, our products were available for collection.

The idea for the workshop was simple yet powerful: by using something we made with our own hands – marked with the human rights that matter to us – we will carry a daily reminder of their importance. This is a way to keep our values close to our hearts and remember more often what is truly important and how to achieve it. At the workshop, we created with purpose.

Clay Workshop: Shaping Human Rights

WHEN?
June 1st 2025 at 1:00 PM.

WHERE?
SEM – Slovene Etnographic Museum, Metelkova ulica 2 Ljubljana.

As part of the HUMELODY EU project, we warmly invite you to an music workshop designed for young migrants.

Join us for a creative clay workshop where art meets awareness!

In this hands-on session, we’ll learn how to shape and create our own ceramic bowl or cup, perfect for your tea or coffee at home. As we mold the clay, we’ll also reflect on the meaning of human rights and how they influence our daily lives.

After this group reflection, each participant will choose one or more human rights that resonate personally and inscribe them onto their handmade piece. There will be full freedom to decorate and personalize your bowl or cup however you like—each one will be unique, just like our stories and perspectives.

The workshop will be guided by Guillermo and Katarina, who will help you through every step of the creative process. After the session, they will take your pieces to their studio in Ljubljana to be fired in the kiln—twice—so they become durable and ready to use. Once finished, your unique creations will be brought back for collection.

The idea behind this workshop is simple yet powerful: by using something you made with your own hands—marked with human rights that matter to you—you’ll carry a daily reminder of their importance. It’s a way to keep your values close and reflect more often on what truly matters and how to pursue it.
Let’s create with purpose!
