Building Opportunities: Harnessing Clay’s Potential for Children with Special Needs
Ceramic & Glass DesignArt-based therapyCurriculum designNeurodivergent childrenCeramic design
My graduation project, initiated on 10th January 2023, marked an unexpected and enlightening journey into the realms of Ceramic Design and Art-Based Therapy. As a newcomer to the field, I explored both ceramic production and its therapeutic applications, particularly for neurodivergent children. Fascinated by how these children, with unique challenges, express narratives, I aimed to create environments that engage them emotionally and creatively. My experience at Pravaha and Child n You enriched my understanding of not only creative processes but also the importance of effective management in optimizing resources. Working closely with my mentor, Yash, I contributed to designing curriculum structures and product design languages that catered to the children’s therapeutic needs. Through hands-on collaboration, I led workshops and events, working with both high-functioning children and those with diverse conditions, refining my skills in therapeutic art and team coordination while driving meaningful change in their lives.
