Colorado Artists in Recovery

This is a 2 part class happening on Monday the 25th and Wednesday the 27th.

Join us for a creative and meaningful workshop where you'll design and sculpt your own personal totem out of polymer clay, a symbol of your dreams, identity, and the beautiful future that sobriety makes possible.

In Class 1, you'll:

Dream and design your totem on paper using colored pencils or markers, it could be a tiny version of yourself, an animal spirit guide, or an object that inspires you.

Learn clay conditioning techniques and begin sculpting simple shapes that build into your totem, like sobriety, it all starts with a solid foundation.

Add meaningful details using sculpting tools as you bring your vision to life.

Bake your creation, symbolizing transformation and acceptance.

In Class 2, we bring it all to life:

Gently sand away imperfections, just like we do with our past.

Paint your totem in bright, bold colors, reflecting the new life sobriety brings.

Take home a finished piece that honors your journey and inspires your path forward.

No experience necessary — just a willingness to explore, create, and connect. All materials provided. This class is about possibility, play, and healing through art.

Example pieces will be shared in class to spark ideas!
