Working seasonally and cyclically, each workshop is anchored to the earth; Soil, Clay, Cloth and Conversation. As makers and artists ourselves, we believe in the need to understand how *things* come to be, to deepen connections with the materials world and move away from throw-away culture. By bringing in practitioners that can share their particular material knowledge in a workshop, we hope this can give you good grounding to understanding materials and the living world around us, at a deeper and more intimate level.

Most workshops are offered at sliding-scale; this means that you can select the amount (between £0-£15) that you can afford for the workshop, no questions asked. We want high-quality workshop to be available to everyone. You can read more in our FAQs here. Sliding-scale tickets are made possible through Arts Council England Project Grant funding, which enables us to pay everyone involved fairly, without impacting ticket price. All workshop ticket sales are returned in to the project.

Ground workshops is a registered C.I.C.

Ground is an artist-led project, drawn together by a love of materials, people and the desire to create space for connecting with the natural world in Stoke-on-Trent.
