The coolness of this organic, earthy substance in one's hands is quite calming. The clay can be molded, squeezed, manipulated, pounded, thrown, imprinted upon, rolled, sprayed, cut, and so much more. It is not surprising that working with clay can be great for stress release. This exercise is from the book, "Therapy Techniques: Using the Creative Arts" by Ann Arge Nathan and Suzanne Mirviss. Create A Fantasy Creature Ask participants to imagine themselves as a creature and make that creature with the clay. Encourage each person to describe his/her creature or have it "speak" to the group. Ask each person to be his/her creature and introduce him/herself as "I am..." and/or to speak about what it's like to be that creature. Variation: Ask group members to imagine themselves as an object or symbol (e.g. star, tree, mountain) and create that image in clay.

Herman Melville stared at Mount Greylock every day until one day it became that devilish cetacean Moby Dick. Children look up at the clouds and see houses, alligators, and dinosaurs rather than cumulus, nimbus, and cirrus. According to biologists, man can no longer be defined as different from other animals by virtue of speech or tool making. But we are absolutely unique in our dazzling ability to make metaphors. Creativity is the art of living metaphorically. We are all born creative, curious, and hungry to explore the world around and within us. For a child, creativity is expressed in play and play is the way he learns. Life is just one big erector set that is to be snapped together and pulled apart in a thousand different ways. But this flexibility often fades with the passage of time.
