Personalised Pottery Christmas Decorations

Create your own personalised pottery Christmas tree decorations in an enjoyable and creative workshop. There is no need to have any prior knowledge or experience as Clare will guide you on how to make your pottery perfect! We will be using coloured slips to add a unique touch to your decorations.

Join us to create your own Christmas tree decorations. You will learn the pottery techniques needed to create a hanging decoration from clay. We’ll also play with decorative techniques and coloured slip to create patterns on the surface of your decorations.

At the end of the session you will have made Christmas decorations with beautiful surface patterns. Each one can be personalised making them the perfect gifts for Christmas.

Clay needs to be fired after it has been dried. As is sometimes the case with clay there can occasionally be a degree of unpredictability with the firing timings and outcomes. This project has been planned to have a minimum chance of any issues but we like to explain that this is always a factor when working in clay. This is the joy and challenge of making pottery!

You will learn all the techniques needed to create your decorations so join us if you’ve had no pottery experience or if you’ve had experience but enjoy the chance to learn a new way to design and work with clay.

No need to bring anything along with you as everything you need will be provided on the day including cuppa's and biscuits!

It maybe a good idea to wear old clothes or bring along an apron as pottery can be quite messy.

At the end of the session you will have made your decorations. They will need to be left to glazed and fired. You will be contacted when they are ready to be collected from StraightCurves Studios - this is expected to be within 2 weeks of the workshop.
