What is C.L.A.Y. and how does the Davis Approach work?

C.L.A.Y. uses The Davis Approach because it’s simple, uncomplicated, fun and useful.

C.L.A.Y. is an acronym meaning Creative Learning About Yourself. Through the implementation of the Davis Approach method, clients  bring meaning to words and numbers (learning) and life concepts (living). Enabling clients to unlock their learning potential about themselves and how they learn. In the areas of Dyslexia, Attention Deficit, Dyscalculia (maths), Dyspraxia (coordination) and Autism.  C.L.A.Y. understands and nurtures the diverse ways people learn irrespective of age. 

Neurodiverse people often experience distortions in perception.  Disorientation occurs when the eyes are not seeing or the ears are not hearing exactly what is in front of them. It is not a problem with eyes or ears, but rather the way that the brain interprets the information from the sensory organs.  

The Davis Approach is a refreshing pressure-free approach, giving the visual thinker or feeler, time and space to understand how they think  and see the world first. It taps into their own personal strengths to create a simple, effective experiential way to learn.

Quick look at how the program works

The first step of the program is to bring attention to what the person feels during learning confusion.

The second step is to introduce a unique personal focus and relaxation toolkit – specifically designed  to help gain certainty and remove anxiety.

The Third step is the person understands and overcomes their own learning hurdles and frustrations, which improves self-esteem: creating a new learning cycle.

Davis Attention Mastery — CLAY Creative Learning

Davis Attention Mastery provides effective tools to help adults and children age 8 and over to address attention, behavioral, or organisational difficulties.

About the program:

Through working one-on-one with a Davis Facilitator, adults and children gain new abilities:

• To recognise and clear up distorted perceptions
• To use simple mental tools to focus, relax, and control and monitor energy levels
• To master and internalise concepts that will help them with social interactions and attention issues. These concepts include: self, change, consequence, before, after, cause, effect, time, sequence, and order vs. disorder
• To apply these concepts in real life situations

A Drug-Free Approach:

The Davis approach gives individuals the tools to control their attention focus and energy level without reliance on drugs or nutritional supplements. These simple mental techniques can be learned quickly, without reliance on specialised equipment or gimmicks.

These techniques/ tools include:

• Davis Orientation or Alignment: A simple approach which stabilizes and harmonizes an inividual’s perceptions, including the perception of the passage of time.
• Davis Dial Setting: Provides individuals of all ages with enhanced awareness and ability to self-regulate energy levels.
• Davis Release: A simple and easy tool for relaxation and stress-reduction.

Conceptual Understanding:

Individuals who are labeled or diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD or ADHD) tend to be highly imaginative and creative thinkers. Often they have difficulty harnessing their ideas and translating thought to action.

They know what they want to accomplish, but struggle when it comes to completing tasks and establishing organisation in their lives.

Davis Concept Mastery is a system of guided modeling of concepts, which enables individuals to develop personal insight and understanding into their self-created barriers through exploring concepts such as consequence, order and responsibility

Which Program?

Young children diagnosed with ADHD often have significant academic and learning barriers, particularly with reading skills and reading comprehension. The Davis tools for attention regulation are part of every Davis program. Because academic difficulties often are at the heart of behaviour problems and the inability to sustain focus in a classroom setting, in some cases it is better for chidren to start with a Davis Dyslexia Correction program. In many cases, the behavior issues that gave rise to an ADHD diagnosis will disipate when the child gains the ability to read and understand print.

Adults and teenagers who are frustrated because of poor organisational skills, difficulty completing projects or time management may choose to begin with the Davis Attention Mastery approach.

Where Can I Learn Pottery From Scratch?

Working with clay, like meditation, relieves fatigue, improves mood and frees the mind from the flow of obsessive thoughts. Pottery teaches patience – it is both relaxation and concentration. And it is not surprising that every second creative person is interested in where to learn pottery. Let’s talk about this in our article.

What is the profession of potters?

This profession originated thousands of years ago. Perhaps in the 21st century, general industrialization has led to the complete automation of the pottery production process, but the need for potters has not disappeared. Craftsmen make dishes, jewelry, household items. Over time, devices were added for productive work with the material. Clay and ceramic products are in demand and remain a traditional art form, but more modern materials are used for the manufacture of products.

Where are potters trained?

If you want to learn a new profession: to acquire practical skills in handling a potter’s wheel, to study the nuances of hand carving, to master the technique of decorating and firing, then you definitely need to take a potter’s course.

Typically, these courses include training from start to finish. Professional educators will teach you how to make finished pottery from scratch. The course programs are specially selected for those who want to acquire the necessary knowledge and are interested in intensive practice.

Some schools, or even universities, offer a full pottery course, followed by a final exam. Those who pass the exam receive a certificate or even a diploma, but it all depends on where you studied.

• Pottery workshops . Taking a potter’s course in such schools is very comfortable, because the groups consist of five to ten people. There are many programs here: from basic master classes where you can see the result in the lesson to full courses that will help you master the material; Courses where you can create anything that comes to your mind and themed courses where the whole group creates products based on a template. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate.
• Online projects . Theoretical material, detailed video tutorials, support from an experienced teacher – you will get all the necessary skills and knowledge remotely! In a few months, you will learn how to make pottery, thanks to online lessons. Choosing this way of learning, you will need to buy materials and tools, an oven, a potter’s wheel (especially if you really want to work with ceramics).
• Universities . Yes, as it turned out, you can also get knowledge on the subject of pottery at universities. Education in universities lasts more than one year, and upon completion you will receive a state-recognized diploma of higher education.
