Add a little handmade holiday magic to your season by sculpting festive, heartfelt decor from clay. In this workshop, you’ll create your own ceramic ornaments or menorah — from classic shapes to quirky, personal designs — plus the option to craft mini trees, elves, small serving trays, or other seasonal accents if inspiration strikes.
Expect cozy, joyful, messily creative energy. It’s the kind of slow, meaningful making that feels like a warm hug during a busy season. And the best part? Your glazed and fired ornaments become forever-keepsakes you’ll treasure (or gift) year after year.
- A Refreshing Drink: Enjoy a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage from our curated selection (1 per guest).
- Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host.
- Pottery 101: Learn foundational hand-building techniques like slabs and coils, then make your own ornaments, menorahs + more. We’ll also show you how to add fun touches like texture + colorful paint.
- All Supplies Provided: We have the clay, tools, vibrant ceramic paints and other materials to make and personlize your pottery — you just bring yourself!
- Glazing + Kiln Firing: Our team will glaze + kiln-fire up to your ornaments in clear glaze so it is glossy, durable & waterproof. Pieces will be ready for pickup on 12/17.
- Aprons: Clay washes off with water, but aprons are provided so you can keep the mess to a minimum.
- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, kids, and the "I'm not creative" crowd.
- Feel-Good Energy: Enjoy a welcoming, community-centered experience hosted at unique local spots — from breweries to plant shops and cozy cafés — that make the experience feel extra special.
This Holiday Edition workshop is all about cozy, festive creativity that brings a little handmade magic to your season. You’ll sculpt your own set of ceramic ornaments or holiday accents — from classic tree décor to stars, dreidels, or mini menorahs — all charming, unique, and perfectly imperfect. They’re ideal for decorating your home, gifting to loved ones, or adding a warm, personal touch to your celebrations.
It’s a great fit for:
• Holiday lovers who want décor with meaning
• Friends looking for a fun, memory-making activity
• Families and kid-at-heart adults
• Anyone craving a calm, screen-free creative break during a busy season
Your finished pieces will be glazed, kiln-fired, and returned as keepsakes you’ll bring out year after year — a joyful reminder of the cozy moment you made them.
