Ceramic Vulva Workshop by The Oh Collective and SWAYZE

Together with intimate wellness organization ‘The Oh Collective’ and ceramic studio SWAYZE, we started off by breaking through modern day taboos around sexuality and self-love. Teaching us how to connect with our intimate selves by crafting our very own unique ceramic vulvas.
