Grounding in Clay: A Mindful Planter Workshop

Grounding in Clay: A Mindful Planter Workshop

Friday, January 9, 2026

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Instructor: Spencer Elizabeth | The Grounding Studio

Nourish your creative soul through the grounding practice of working with clay.

This workshop offers a calming, hands-on experience where participants can slow down, reconnect, and create something meaningful in the peaceful setting of Leu Gardens.

We’ll begin with a gentle centering moment to help you settle into the space, followed by a step-by-step guided lesson on hand-building your own ceramic planter using high-quality stoneware clay. All materials — clay, tools, underglaze, and firing — are provided, and no prior experience is necessary.

The process is steady and intentional, allowing you to explore shape, texture, color and personal expression at a comfortable pace. Clay, formed from the earth itself, has a unique way of inviting presence and grounding — making this workshop a refreshing pause from daily demands.

Once your planter is complete, it will be dried, bisque-fired, glazed, and glaze-fired off-site at The Grounding Studio. Finished pieces will be returned to Leu Gardens for pickup within 3–4 weeks, and participants will be notified via the email as soon as the pieces are ready.

After class, guests are welcome to browse a mini craft market featuring small-batch ceramics and holistic goods crafted by The Grounding Studio. Payment options include cash, Mastercard, Visa, and Amex.

Your ticket includes:

• All tools, clay, and materials
• Underglaze decoration
• Bisque and glaze firing
• Light refreshments
• Admission to Leu Gardens before or after the workshop
• A calm, supportive space to create something uniquely yours
