Cork Sensory Workshop: The Art of Creating a Human Tree

Step into an unexplored, nature-focused sensory experience where cork and organic materials transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. During this hands-on demonstration, you will see how to guide someone into the form and presence of a tree, using texture, movement, and natural elements, all safely and consensually.
Through live demonstrations, you will explore
- How cork can soften, cushion, and amplify touch, engaging the senses in surprising ways.
- Techniques for layering branches, leaves, and other organic materials to give the human form a living, rooted presence.
- The interaction of touch, smell, sound, and subtle movement to heighten perception and create a fully immersive experience.
- How to orchestrate a sensory flow that is simultaneously soothing, playful, and deeply engaging.
This workshop is for the curious, for lovers of touch, and for anyone eager to explore a new, largely uncharted form of sensory art. You will see how natural materials and attentive guidance can awaken the senses, inspire creativity, and allow the participant to embody a tree in a serene, evocative, and hypnotically tactile way.
No prior experience is required – bring your curiosity and open mind to observe, learn, and experience the unexpected possibilities of cork, nature, and the human form.
This event will take place at Studio Xème. Refreshments will be offered, and corks will be provided for you to try them out as well. Comfortable attire is recommended.
