Snowy Pines

🌲 Your Own Little Winter Forest

Join us for a fun and cosy 2.5-hour workshop where you’ll create your own little ceramic pine trees — the perfect handmade decorations to bring a touch of winter magic into your home. Snowy, spiky, minimalist or a little quirky — whatever your winter vibe is, we’ll help you bring your tiny forest to life with texture, personality and plenty of colour.

In this workshop, you’ll shape your own collection of ceramic pine trees in different sizes and styles. Think snow-covered branches, playful little evergreens and charming miniature trees that look lovely on a shelf, windowsill or festive table. We’ll have plenty of examples to inspire you, so you can experiment with different shapes, textures and finishes to make each tree uniquely yours.

Never touched clay before? Perfect!

We’ll guide you through the process, showing you how to shape, sculpt and decorate your trees with beautiful details and winter-inspired textures. No experience is needed — just a little imagination and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

It’s the perfect introduction to ceramics: relaxed, creative and wonderfully satisfying. You’ll leave with clay under your nails, your own little winter forest in the making, and maybe a new favourite hobby, too.

🔥 What happens next?

After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your creations for you. Your finished ceramic pine trees will be ready for collection in approximately 4 weeks — just in time to add a handmade touch to your winter decorations and bring a little festive magic to your home, year after year!

Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.

Ever dreamed of making your own cup or bowl on the pottery wheel? This is your moment to try – no pressure, no perfection, just you, the clay, and the magic of Wabi-Sabi.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly event, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing, how to center the clay, and how to pull up your very first form – maybe a cup, maybe something totally unexpected (and that’s perfectly okay).

We’ll embrace wobbles, curves, and character, celebrating the Japanese art of Wabi-Sabi – finding beauty in imperfection and joy in the process, not just the result.

No experience? No problem. You’ll leave with a piece that’s 100% yours – shaped by your hands and full of personality.

Each event is led by one of our friendly ceramic artists, who’ll guide you step-by-step through shaping and decorating your piece. No pressure, no perfection — just good vibes, creative flow, and the joy of getting your hands dirty in the best possible way.

🎡 Just curious? Even better.

This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel — no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, you’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. It’s messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.

You’ll get hands-on with the basics of wheel-throwing — and walk away with at least one piece to call your own. Plus, you’ll leave knowing whether this hobby is a fling or the beginning of a full-blown love affair.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the spin cycle.

Spin Clay to Light!🕯️ 

Ready to give your wheel-throwing skills a little spin? 
In this workshop, you’ll get your hands muddy and your creativity flowing as you throw your very own ceramic candle holder. Go for something sleek and simple, tall and sculptural, or a little quirky — the wheel is yours to explore!

This isn’t your first spin around the wheel, though. You should already have some wheel-throwing experience and feel comfortable with the basics. We’ll help you take it from there, experimenting with shapes, proportions, and designs to create a candle holder that’s uniquely yours.

But here’s the thing about clay: it has a mind of its own. Your original idea might take an unexpected turn, your perfect shape might have other plans, and sometimes the best creations happen when you let go of the plan. Come with an open mind, embrace the unpredictability, and see where the clay takes you. That’s where the magic happens!

✏️ What to Expect

• A creative, hands-on session focused on wheel-throwing candle holders
• The chance to experiment with different shapes, sizes, and styles
• Guidance and tips to help you bring your ideas to life
• Room to play, experiment, and adapt your design as you go
• A relaxed, supportive atmosphere where happy accidents are part of the fun
• All tools, clay, and good energy provided

🎁 What You’ll Take Home

• Your very own handmade ceramic candle holder (fired & glazed — we’ll handle the rest!)
• A one-of-a-kind piece made by you, with a little help from the clay
• The satisfaction of taking your wheel-throwing skills a step further

🧠 Who It’s For

• Potters who already have some wheel-throwing experience
• Clay lovers ready to explore new shapes and forms
• Creative souls who enjoy experimenting rather than following a strict plan
• Anyone happy to embrace the beautiful unpredictability of working with clay

📦 A Few More Things to Know

• Some previous wheel-throwing experience is required — this class isn’t designed for complete beginners
• No need to bring anything — just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting a little clay-kissed
• Firing and glazing takes around 4 weeks — we’ll let you know when your piece is ready
• Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours

Come with an idea, leave room for surprises, and let’s see what spins into existence! 🌀
