Support the Arts
Your generosity fuels the arts and builds a brighter future for our youth and community!
Our Mission.
CLAYDD is a Non-Profit Organization committed to empowering youth with mental health struggles, special needs and foster youth. We are a group of educators, artists and healers collectively inspiring learners and organizations through educational programs centered around mindfulness, meditation and the healing qualities of clay.
CLAYDD believes in sustainable principles that allow for harmony to multiply. There is no need for technology, no need for expensive materials.
Our tools are accessible to all people. The combination of a mindfulness practice and art therapy that promotes self soothing and empowerment. Creating the possibility of unity and connection that ripples into the families and communities for each student.
CLAYDD’s ethos is rooted in our three pillars:
ART ~ HEALING ~ EDUCATION
Our workshops hold the essence of these 3 pillars and are designed to incorporate two main components that help translate our mission:
Mindfulness + Clay Hand Building
Unlock Creativity and Well-Being Through the Power of Art
Our workshops provide more than just a creative outlet—they open the door to transformative benefits for participants of all ages. Engaging in hands-on art fosters an optimistic outlook, encourages focus and mindfulness, and provides a safe space for exploration and experimentation. Through the creative process, stress melts away, making room for personal growth and empowerment. Your support helps bring these life-changing opportunities to those who need them most. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
At CLAYDD, partnerships are at the heart of our mission to empower communities through the arts. We are proud to collaborate with incredible organizations and institutions such as the Arts for Healing and Justice Network, Craft Contemporary, Street Poets, and the Department of Arts and Culture. Together with school districts like Downtown LA, Pasadena, Whittier, San Pedro, and San Fernando, we deliver impactful programs that foster creativity, healing, and growth. These collaborations allow us to reach diverse communities, amplify voices, and create spaces where art becomes a tool for transformation and connection. Through these partnerships, we continue to expand the reach and impact of our mission.
