This session is currently bookable for Fridays with the option of different time slots. Sessions will run on the run up to Christmas.

These workshops are run by local potter and artist Christina. She will assist you during your session to paint up to 3 ceramic blank decorations. Christina has made all the blanks, with a HUGE selection in many styles.

Once you have finished your Christmas painting workshop; Christina will tidy up, glaze & fire your personalised Christmas decorations. She will let you know when they are ready for pick up from the studio (approximately 3 weeks later).

Pick 3 from the large selection of shapes at the beginning of your session. All the ceramic blanks are made by Christina in the studio. Currently these shapes are available:

• Traditional – stars, snow globe, Santa, reindeer, gingerbread man & woman, snowman, stocking, various snowflakes, bell, candy cane, xmas tree, angel, ribbon bow
• Baubles – various designs
• Shapes – circles, hearts, various plaque shapes, various flowers
• Pets – bones, retriever dog, schnauzer dog, dachshund dog, dog house, dog paw, general dog, cat face, several cat poses, horse, rabbit
• Animals – small bird/robin, unicorn, elephant, butterfly, dinosaur
• Toys – teddies, train, plane, car, rocking horse
• Letters – all letters for personalised xmas decorations
• Random – shell, cowboy boot, shooting star

There is a wide variety of colours including traditional Christmas red and green; pastels; bright and most colours you could possibly need. All customers are encouraged to research online on websites like Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration prior to your session, try searching “handmade Christmas ornaments ideas”, “handmade ceramic Christmas ornaments”. Otherwise Christina is happy to show you examples as well. OR you can go with the flow and just play and experiment painting as you like. We recommend drawing in pencil your design, as this disappears and burns off during the firing.

This is also a lovely opportunity to create personalised gifts and ornaments for the home; with friends, family and pet’s names and initials on your chosen shapes. You could also paint on non-traditional shapes to hang as decorations around your home all-year round e.g using blanks like flowers, birds, plaques with messages on. We also provide typography and calligraphy sheet examples to copy from to paint initials and names for that really professional look!

Must be 18 years or older due to insurance reasons and Health & Safety.

We do not offer delivery or mailing of Christmas ornaments at this time.

Please keep in mind that sometimes ceramic pieces do not make it through firings or come out with glaze cracking/pitting/crazing randomly or colours can come out streaky or with errors.
