Christmas Decoration Workshop | 14th November

£35.00

Friday 14th November 2025 at 6.30-9pm

Step into the studio for a festive clay-making session with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. This workshop is all about slowing down, making with your hands, and enjoying the quiet satisfaction of creating something personal. I will guide you step-by-step through shaping, decorating and detailing your own set of ceramic Christmas decorations. You can work from the example designs available or follow your own ideas if you feel inspired.

Your pieces will be decorated with slip or underglaze during the session, then fired and finished with a transparent glaze in the studio. They will be ready to collect in around three weeks, just in time for the festive season.

No prior experience is needed. Clay rewards curiosity and play.
Please wear clothing suitable for clay work, as aprons are not provided.

Group Size: Up to 12 people
Price: £35 per person

Ceramics Drying and Firing

• Clay goes through several stages of drying and firing, and there is a natural and unavoidable risk that pieces may crack, warp or break during the process.
• Every care is taken to handle, dry and fire your work safely, though outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
• If glaze or firing issues occur, this is considered a normal part of the ceramic process and refunds cannot be offered on this basis.

Christmas Timing

• If your workshop takes place in December, please note that I cannot guarantee that finished pieces will be fired and ready before Christmas.
• If your pieces are intended as gifts, an earlier workshop date is recommended. Gift cards are available as an alternative.

Collection of Work

• Work will usually be ready to collect in approximately 3 weeks.
• You will be notified by email when your pieces are ready.
• Finished work should be collected within 2 months. Due to limited storage, pieces not collected may be recycled or rehomed.
