Have you ever wanted to make your own underglaze transfers? This is the camp for you!  

In this 5-day camp, students will learn how to make screens for screenprinting and how to use them. We will then take our screens to the Clay studio and print both directly onto clay and using transfers. 

This camp will offer some instruction for hand-building, but the main focus will be learning how to print on clay. As such, we recommend that only folks with previous clay experience sign up. Print newbies are encouraged!

Ages: 16+

This class takes place at Groundworks Main at 3750 Canfield St.

Ready to explore the best of both worlds? Join us for a week of hands-on creation experiencing time in both wood and metal studios. The week will be split between the metal studio and our wood studio, learning the basics of blacksmithing and woodworking through a series of art form-specific projects. Whether you're interested in the sparks of the metal shop or the grain of the woodshop, you’ll leave with the skills to navigate both environments and a collection of finished pieces to show for it.

Think beyond the simple mug or bowl. This class is all about reimagining what a vessel can be. Over four weeks, we'll experiment with transforming traditional pottery forms into expressive, sculptural works that still (mostly) hold function. Students will explore how to create whimsical, character-filled pieces that blur the line between pottery and sculpture.

We’ll build playful teapots, imaginative creature cups, or sculptural vases that merge humor, personality, and craftsmanship. Whether your style leans toward the quirky and fantastical or sleek and architectural, you'll leave this class with one-of-a-kind ceramic creations that feel alive.

No prior clay experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to take creative risks.

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