Discovery Dinner: Hand Clay Sculpting

Create a meaningful gratitude jar, explore mindful creativity through clay, and craft a keepsake that holds reminders of joy and connection.
Through the grounding rhythm of working with clay, this creative experience invites participants to slow down, reflect, and shape gratitude into something tangible. Guided by 1440 Experience Instructor Jennifer Barber, students will create a pinch pot gratitude jar designed to hold small reminders of joy, meaning, and connection. Each jar becomes a personal expression of appreciation and intention; a meaningful reminder to pause, reflect, and hold onto the moments that nourish us most.
As part of this Discovery Dinner experience at 1440, you’ll also enjoy dining on a delicious, sustainable, and locally sourced dinner at Kitchen Table. Featuring global cuisine prepared by our 1440 Culinary Team, this deeply nourishing meal provides the perfect complement to your creative practice.
This unique event is a fulfilling opportunity to create, connect, and embrace hope for living well.
1440 is a philanthropic campus, and each booking contributes to serving our community by providing scholarships and volunteer services in support of creating hope for living well.
