Handmade Ceramics by the Slightly Unhinged
About Our Pottery Studios and Artist in Denver and Bailey, Colorado
About Sid's Workshop
At Sid’s Workshop, inspiration strikes from all directions—usually the strange ones. Our work is fueled by a love for pop culture oddities, twisted takes on nature, classic and outsider art, and anything that gives off a slightly unsettling energy. Whether it’s a horror movie from the '80s, a gnarled tree root, or a flea market find that looks like it might whisper at night, we take those weird little sparks and turn them into functional, ceramic weirdness.
This is a space where creepy meets creative, and where beauty doesn’t have to play by the rules. Every piece reflects a mix of curiosity, rebellion, and craftsmanship—because we believe even the strange deserves to be well made.
About Ceramics Artist Alex Schupp
At Sid’s Workshop, I turn the ordinary into the uncanny. My name is Alex Schupp, and I’m the artist behind this twisted ceramic world. Here, baby doll molds become french presses, and water fountains stare back at you.
I work with hand-building, coil techniques, wheel throwing, and slip casting, but my materials often go far beyond clay. Vintage doll parts, salvaged objects, discarded molds—these oddities find new life in my studio as both functional pottery and unsettling sculptures.
Each piece is crafted with intention, but never perfection. I embrace flaws, asymmetry, and strangeness, because that’s where the character lives. Some of my creations are useful. Others are just… watching.
Whether you’re looking for a mug that startles your houseguests or a vase that looks like it remembers its past life, you’ve come to the right place. At Sid’s Workshop, weird is welcome, and beauty isn’t always pretty.
We're not Reinventing the Wheel - just Doing some weird stuff on it.
These creations aren’t just for shock value—they’re meant to be used, lived with, and talked about. I believe everyday objects should have personality, presence, and maybe even a little backstory. When you drink from a Sid’s Workshop mug or stash your rings on a baby arm, you're not just using a thing—you’re interacting with a piece of art that’s been warped by hand and fired with intention.
It’s weird, it’s useful, and it’s yours.
