About
Grounded Earth is a pottery and wellness studio founded by a professional mental health counselor and lifelong artist. Located in the South End Arts District in Burlington, VT, the studio is designed to be a welcoming space where creativity and mental wellness intersect. Grounded Earth offers hands-on pottery experiences that promote healing, self-expression, and community connection.
Set to soft launch in June 2025, with a grand opening during Burlington’s Art Hop in September, Grounded Earth is currently seeking members, teachers, and students. We are also looking for support through our crowd-funding campaign to cover startup costs like equipment, space rental, and outreach programs.
