Spark your child's creativity and introduce them to the exciting world of woodworking! In this fun and safe camp, young learners will learn basic woodworking skills while crafting their own unique projects. Instructors will cover the basics of woodworking tools (supervised) and will work with students on a variety of projects. Because these camps require a higher level of focus and dexterity, they’re only for the older kiddos, but don’t worry, we cover safety first.

Ever throw something on the wheel and want to repeat it, but you’re not sure where to start? Come figure out the form in this week long adult clay camp! In this camp, students will pick a shape and work on repeating it to learn consistency in throwing and how to make a uniform set. In ceramics repetition is key to getting the form just right. Come learn some techniques and tricks to making this happen along with plenty of wheel time to practice! This camp is all about the process and not about the product. Students won’t keep anything which leaves room to let go and explore without the pressure of completion. By the end of camp, students will have a much better understanding of what goes into making a repetitive shape that will greatly improve their throwing skills for sets in future classes. 

This class will take place at Groundworks Hill, 1010 Aurora Ave. Boulder, CO

Relief printing, block carving, ink, oh my! Students will learn about the techniques of printmaking, engage with tools and materials, and design and print a plate.

Are you lazing in your glazing? Sleeping on slip? Craving more carving? Let’s dig into it! In this one-time 2.5 hour class, we’ll do a deeper dive into surface decoration techniques such as sgraffito, mishima, carving through wax, and using slip as texture. 

Groundworks will provide flat tiles in a variety of different clay bodies for students to practice surface decoration on. Students can pick if they want their final pieces clear glazed or left raw, and after a few weeks, our staff will let you know when your pieces are out of the kiln and ready for pick-up.

This class takes place at Groundworks EAST 3063 Sterling Circle, Boulder, CO. 

PLEASE NOTE: This one-time class runs for 2.5 hours. You will not have access to the studio outside of the scheduled class time and all work will be completed during class time. You will also not have access to our other locations.

Your pieces will be fired in our electric kilns to Cone 6 Oxidation. Hot tip: electric kiln oxidation firing is what most people use in their home studio set-ups, so if you’re aiming to set up a home pottery business in the future, this is a great place to start!
