Festive Ornament Making

Get into the festive spirit with clay, cake and good company.
Sculpt your own tiny figures, animals and baubles, or paint ready-made ornaments, to hang on the tree for years to come.

Who’s this for?

  • Love the idea of handmade decorations you’ll bring out every December

  • Are looking for a cosy, festive thing to do with friends, family or a partner

  • Want to make thoughtful gifts, like a mini version of someone’s dog or a bauble with their initial on it

  • Are new to clay and want a fun, low-pressure place to start

  • Prefer painting to sculpting. The bisque ornaments mean you can still join in


Workshop

Highlights

Festive Ornament Making

Make this year’s tree decorations by hand. In this relaxed festive session, we’ll show you how to shape small, characterful ornaments from clay, from cheeky little animals and festive figures to simple patterned baubles. No experience needed: we’ll guide you through each step, from shaping and adding detail to making the hanging hole.

Not feeling sculptural? We’ll also have bisque ornaments ready and waiting for you to paint, so you can focus on colour and pattern instead. You’re welcome to do a mix of both.

Once you’re done, we’ll glaze-fire everything here in the studio, ready for you to collect.

What’s included

  • All clay, tools, glazes and firing

  • Up to 6 ornaments per person, sculpted, painted or a mix (Ribbon to hang your ornaments!)

  • Refreshments & mince pies!

Good to know

  • Suitable for complete beginners for all ages. Anyone 16 yrs and below require adult supervision (eg 15yr old + guardian= 2 tickets)

  • Pieces will be ready to collect within a couple of weeks (we will do our best to make sure they are done just before Christmas) Please note: Clay needs to be fully dry before they go into the kiln for firing. Any chunky ornaments may not make it in time!
