Big spoon or little spoon? You don't have to pick in our very first 5-studio crossover class: Exploring Through Spoons!

In this Adult Summer Camp, you'll get a lightning fast introduction to our Clay, Glass, Wood, Metal, and Print studios. Each week, the students will be in a different studio learning the material through the ancient practice of spoon (or spoon related object) making (seriously, spoons are, like, 3,000 years old)! The schedule will be as follows:

Day 1 Clay -  Students will be in the clay studio making hand-built spoon crocks
Day 2 Glass - Students will be in the glass studio making fused spoon rest
Day 3 Wood - Students will be in wood studio learning how to carve a spoon
Day 4 Metal - Students will be in the metal studio learning how to forge a ladle
Day 5 Print - Students will be in the print studio learning linocut to make a 1 of a kind spoon-related print culminating in a display of craftsmanship for the ages.

Ages: 16+

This class will be co-taught by an expert in each studio. Clay (Codey Davis), Glass (Laura Beth Konopinski), Wood (Dennis Mulherin), Metal (James Makely), and Print (Akane Kleinkopf).

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

This class does NOT include extra open lab time. All work must be completed during class time. 

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 Hill 1010 Aurora Ave, 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 gas kilns to Cone 6 Reduction. 

Ages: 16+
