Sculpting is a type of art, one which has been alive since the prehistoric age, and which has been changing, growing with, and outgrowing various civilizations. The materials that sculptors work with can be natural or synthetic and are differentiated by their degree of hardness as soft, hard and semi-hard materials. Clay is a sculptural technique classified as a natural and soft material, and can be shaped differently – by hands, tools or machines. According to numerous studies, clay has a positive effect on the development of motor skills, while simultaneously being a medium used in the field of art therapy. Art therapy is an approach that contains various elements of art with the aim of influencing the health of the individual and, among other things, can be applied in educational processes in lower primary. Clay is often unfairly neglected and replaced with clay mol in Art classes. This material is already well known to children because they encounter it in early childhood, while playing with mud in nature. By interacting with clay, children begin the game of studying this material, while unconsciously learning the varieties of its shaping and modeling. The methods employed in this research refer to the conduction of art workshops. These workshops were conducted in modelling and shaping clay and were carried out with third grade students. The starting point and inspiration for the workshops is the natural beauty of the Island of Rab – from its seabed and geologically diverse beaches through its forests and hiking trails. Certain drama techniques were conducted with the students, along with movement and music, where the intention was to achieve the multifaceted experience of working with clay and entering the domain of art therapy. The aim of workshops was to fulfill the entire process of working with clay, starting with the preparation of clay and ending with the cleaning up of the workspace. Analyses of the workshops were conducted in the form of oral questionnaires at the end of each workshop, as well as a written questionnaire at the end of the last workshop. Upon completion, the students' art works were placed in the exhibition space located in their classroom.
