Join ArtYard and Mudtown Ceramics for a hands-on workshop series where participants will create porcelain waves for The Deep, a participatory art installation at ArtYard as part of the lead-up to the Aqualumina Festival.
The Deep invites community members to build a shared ocean, one handcrafted wave at a time. Inspired by Bill Viola’s The Raft, the project explores how individual experiences can converge into a powerful, collective force. In Viola’s installation, strangers stand together in quiet isolation until walls of water crash into them, transforming them into a vulnerable, unified whole.
Mudtown Ceramics will host a series of workshops in which participants will shape waves that will become part of this growing ceramic sea. The completed work will be installed on a large table in ArtYard’s entrance gallery.
Workshops take place on Saturdays from February 28 through April 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Mudtown Ceramics, 782 Frenchtown Rd, Milford, NJ. No prior ceramics experience required. All materials provided. After the exhibition, participants will reclaim their individual waves to take home.
Registration is $35 per session. Early bird pricing of $30 is available through Feb. 22

Dig Yoga presents "Nourish in Nature: A Spring Equinox Gathering" on Sunday, March 15.
As light and dark come into balance, we gather at Honey Hollow Farm to welcome the season of emergence, breath, and renewal.
This Spring Equinox mini-retreat is an afternoon of gentle movement, plant connection, seasonal ritual, and community nourishment — an opportunity to step out of winter’s heaviness and align with the rising energy of the land. Together, Sue and Kate blend their shared backgrounds in herbalism and earth-based practice to guide you through an immersive seasonal experience rooted in both body and landscape.
We’ll begin in circle with a nourishing infusion of nettles and intention setting, then head out onto the farm to explore early spring herbs and bitters, deepening our relationship with the living landscape. Together we’ll create a communal Earth altar and flower mandala, honoring what is ready to grow as the season turns.
A guided facial steam ritual and breath meditation will invite connection with the element of Air, supporting release and renewal. You’ll create your own personal steam blend and participate in a simple letting-go ritual with the herbs.
From there, we’ll move into a gentle, grounding practice with breath and subtle qigong-inspired movements to support circulation, joints, and lymphatic flow as the body transitions into spring.
We’ll close with seasonal herbal teachings over a shared spring infusion, learning how bitter herbs awaken digestion and support the body’s natural spring cleansing processes. The afternoon ends in community with nourishing seasonal snacks, connection, and time to simply be together.
This is a gathering to align with the rhythms of the Earth, tend your inner landscape, and welcome the return of light in good company.
Space is limited.
Cost: $95 by 3/1, $125 after.
