Each session started with a briefing and demonstration for an hour and a half. After which, the groups of volunteers began working on their pieces. Participants were invited to work on slabs of clay. They could select from various shapes and sizes cut out from frames that were prepared for them, or they could create their own. There was a personalised communication between the artist and each participant. Based on the given themes (Nature, Tradition, Technology, Future), they were encouraged to use their imagination and spontaneously express ideas, leaving an imprint of their statement, emotions and memories on the clay.

An uncensored approach was used in the selection of pieces, each piece unedited, to showcase a collage of raw expression. ​As majority of the participants have not had experience working with clay, the artist and her team guided each participant in the creation of their drawings. Dry pieces were subsequently bisque-fired at 900°C in a gas kiln.
