Workshop Details

Learn how to sculpt either a Santa, tree or cute snowman from clay! Book your second session and return to underglaze your sculpture with whatever bright festive colours you choose. Once fired, make your sculpture glow with a tealight for that special holiday glow.

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of building and an extra 30 minutes for smoothing, if needed. Create using our clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pickup: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 14 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

Q: What do you get when Santa, snowmen and trees walk into a cabin?

A: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
