Christmas Cone Creations
Join Carys in the studio for four hours of festive clay making and transform a simple ceramic form into a character or creation entirely of your own.
You’ll begin with a pre-made, leather-hard cone of white clay, giving you the perfect starting point to concentrate on the creative part - building, sculpting, adding texture and decorating.
Turn your cone into a Santa, snowman, angel, gnome or Christmas tree, create a whimsical festive character, or take the form in a completely different direction.
This is one of our longer four-hour workshops, designed for those who love to slow down and get lost in the details. You’ll have plenty of time to build onto your form, sculpt faces and features, add clothing, foliage and embellishments, carve into the surface and really finesse your creation.
Carys will demonstrate a range of handbuilding, sculpting and surface decoration techniques, and you’ll have access to underglazes, tissue transfers, stamps, textures and clay for adding your own sculpted elements.
You can keep your piece beautifully simple or go all out - the cone is simply your starting point.
Once complete, your creation will be carefully dried and bisque fired before being clear glazed and fired for a second time.
Your finished piece will be ready to collect from the studio approximately 2–3 weeks after the workshop, ready to become part of your Christmas celebrations for years to come.
✨ All clay, materials, glazing and firings are included. Suitable for beginners and all experience levels.
