So you’ve been taking classes with us for a while. You’ve been steadily improving and making better work. You know we love to see it. But we’re guessing you still have a box or two of your old work that you’re too embarrassed to have out on display stashed away in a closet or garage, right? Well don’t you fret, because you can give those past attempts new life!

In this class, we’ll show you how to upcycle your old pots and mugs into beautiful, new, one-of-a-kind pieces of art like planters, fountains, or abstract sculptures. Your old pots meet your new artistic vision!

All students are responsible for bringing in their own pieces to upcycle.

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

PLEASE NOTE: This one-time class runs for 3.5 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.

Ages: 16+

Available for registration Tuesday, May 27th at 8:00am

Wobbly walls? Uneven rims? Mushrooms or volcanoes while centering? You have wheel woes, my friend. But never fear - where there’s a wheel, there’s a way!

Join us for a one-day 2.5 hour long class and learn how to problem solve some of these common mistakes in the centering and throwing process. This class is open to anyone - it’s perfect for absolute beginners who just want to learn the beginning stages of throwing on the wheel, up to advanced potters who just want a refresh on their basics. This is a super low pressure class as we’ll be focusing on technique and not actually making any pieces to keep.

This class takes place at Groundworks MAIN, 3750 Canfield St, Boulder, CO.

For any additional pieces you would like glazed and fired, there is a $5 fee per piece.

It's good to wear some clothes you can get dirty and shorter nails will be helpful. :)

First, take a deep breath… Have you ever sat down at the wheel and for whatever reason, just couldn’t get your clay properly centered? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

Pottery is often referred to as a meditative process and we’re taking that concept one step further with this immersive experience in which students will alternate centering their clay with centering themselves. This workshop will provide students with a clay centering demo, after which we’ll alternate centering on the wheel with guided mediation and sound bath. See how feeling centered in your body can transform you and your work!

This class is only going to focus on centering technique and practice - no pieces will be completed. Mind, body, clay.

The meditative/sound bath portion of this class will be taught by Betsy Workman. Betsy is a certified Sound Healer, Master Gong Practitioner, Kundalini Yoga Teacher and Breathwork Facilitator. As a former local restaurant owner, she used to love creating cozy spaces for the community to dine in and enjoy music. Since then, she has found her true peace and calling in creating these spaces for people like you to come find deep rest and healing. Her grounded presence and energetic attunement help create transformative experiences, connecting you to your most authentic self. She is a long time resident of beautiful Boulder, CO.
