Workshop Setup and Object Management

Workshop setup and object management

  • Work table preparation: fixed positioning of tools, dedicated areas for clay, water and instruments, and removal of hazards ensures safety and autonomy.
  • Haptic efficiency: systematic organisation reduces search time and fatigue. Tools arranged by sequence of use support independence.
  • Object search techniques: apply soft, deliberate movements. Explore surfaces systematically, using reference points for orientation. For horizontal surfaces, use parallel track searches.

Key advice for instructors and guides

  • Avoid replacing participants’ actions unless necessary.
  • Be patient and respect individual timing.
  • Use clear, precise language and avoid vague references like “that over there”.
  • Allow periods of silence during exploration for concentration and sensory perception.
