In order to protect students' mental health and relieve academic pressure, Leicester International Institute held a "Making Pottery" Psychological Salon at E03-210 last week. The activity invited Xie Xiaojiang, who is the psychological counsellor in DUT students psychological counselling centre Panjin Branch as the instructor.

Xie Xiaojiang led the students on a journey of spiritual purification with the theme of "Ceramic Healing".During the activity, the students first felt the artistic charm of ceramics by watching the ceramic art teaching video "Feel the Beauty of Life".Then, in the process of creating their works, the students experimented, either by kneading the clay by hand, or by using a machine to shape it. Finally, the hand-made pottery works are air-dried and left as a memorial.

The process of the activity is quiet, students calm down, put their heart and soul into the peace and comfort of pottery, and put their thoughts into the artwork in their hands. It is hoped that the students can relieve their pressure and calm their minds through this pottery salon so that they can better devote themselves to their future study and life. Leicester International Institute will also continue to strengthen the mental health education for students and continue to innovate forms, to be the guardians of students' physical and mental health.
