CULTURE AND CLAY:
A MUSICAL JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD
A collaboration with Valerie Seaberg and the Art Association of Jackson Hole

Valerie Seaberg

Course Description

Join Valerie and friends in this 4-day camp focused on understanding world culture through music. As a multi-media artist, singer and educator, having combined a lifetime of art making with fun, informative teaching on the art and practice of creativity, Valerie has developed a unique approach to her children’s workshops. With a Master’s in Counseling and Art Therapy, she integrates experiential, theoretical and body-oriented approaches to assist children in expressing their full creative potential. This week, we will explore the mountains of Chile by making rain sticks, Italy and Spain by learning to make and play the ocarina! Each day we will make music with our hands, feet and things we make ourselves!

Instructor
Valerie Seaberg discovered basket making while living and teaching in a remote northern California healing arts school. She was thrilled to craft vessels from the grasses at her feet. “Coiling is slow art. It takes a long time to express an idea and to see the movement of a form realized. It is both meticulous and profoundly meditative work. I enjoy teaching this craft to others as I believe slow art to be one of the antidotes to the franticness of modern life.” A desire to work more spontaneously led Seaberg to working in clay. She began replacing basket centers with clay forms. The hand built centerpieces became so large that they are now an integral part of her work.
