NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Seaglass Tree Class

Join us for a spooktacular art class where we blend coastal charm with Tim Burton’s whimsical gothic style! In this workshop, students will create their very own Nightmare Before Christmas Sea Glass Tree — a magical holiday decoration that’s equal parts spooky and festive.

Using a cone base, students will layer colorful sea glass pieces to form a shimmering tree structure. The project will be accented with Jack Skellington faces, black-and-white striped ornaments, tiny spiders and bats, holiday buttons, and twinkling lights, bringing the beloved Halloween Town theme to life. At the top, a Jack Skellington or other character figurine can serve as the playful tree topper.

This project is perfect for all skill levels, encouraging creativity with both Halloween and Christmas inspiration. Participants will learn:

How to arrange and secure sea glass into a layered tree form

Techniques for decorating with themed embellishments

How to incorporate LED fairy lights for a glowing effect

Creative ways to mix spooky and coastal elements for a one-of-a-kind holiday piece

By the end of class, each participant will leave with a unique Nightmare Before Christmas Sea Glass Tree — a festive keepsake that can be displayed year after year.

🎃✨ Ideal for ages teen through adult. No prior art experience required — just bring your imagination and love of Halloween and Christmas magic!
