Dorodango (Japanese for “mud dumpling”) is a Japanese art form in which soil and water are combined and moulded, then carefully polished to create a delicate shiny sphere. During this drop in you will get to make your own Dorodango ball and have it to take away to continue to shine. The shining process has been described as a form of meditation and there comes a point when you start to feel a real connection to the object you have created. What once was soil, becomes precious to you as it slowly starts to shine.
