This workshop will be held at Denver Botanic Gardens, York St. location.
Founded in 1986, The Gathering Place is the only daytime drop-in center in metropolitan Denver that serves women, their children, and transgender individuals. The Gathering Place (TGP) offers services to combat poverty and address the impacts of marginalization and oppression that are often contributing factors to poverty or homelessness. By offering low-barrier access to a broad range of basic necessities and wrap-around care options, TGP guides women, transgender folx and children living in poverty from a place of crisis and instability to one of stability and security. While TGP refers to those they serve as "members," no fees are ever charged for programs or services.

Rita Vali
I create joyful pottery that blends modern design with a mid-century vibe, inspired by my love of the intricate patterns and quiet beauty I find in nature. I make my pottery with others in mind, as I believe we are connected through the use and display of thoughtfully hand-crafted objects. I hope my pottery enhances daily rituals, inviting you to slow down, take notice, and find a moment of contentment in the everyday. Over the years, teaching has become an extension of my creative process. I find great joy in making the world of ceramics accessible to others — whether through individual projects, workshops, or installations that bring communities together. In both the solitude of the studio and the energy of the classroom, clay continues to challenge and inspire me. Each piece I create reflects my passion as a maker.
