Christmas Tree Seasonal Luminary – Handbuilding Pottery Workshop (Nov 19 and Dec 3, 2026)

Learn the Foundations of Ceramic Handbuilding While Creating Your Own Whimsical Christmas Tree Luminary

Get into the holiday spirit while learning the foundations of ceramic handbuilding and creating your own festive Christmas Tree Luminary from clay.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll explore essential pottery techniques including slab building, shaping, scoring and slipping, joining, texturing, and creating decorative openings that allow your finished tree to glow from within.

During the first session, you’ll build and personalize your Christmas tree using templates and pottery tools. Add your own festive details, textures, cut-outs, and decorations to make your luminary uniquely yours. After your piece has been bisque fired, you’ll return for a second session to plan your colour scheme and apply the glaze yourself.

Sign up for a hands-on holiday experience that takes you from raw clay to a finished, glazed Christmas creation. No prior pottery experience is required. Our instructor will guide you through each stage step-by-step.

Once your piece has been through its final kiln firing, it will be ready for pickup. Add an LED tea light at home and watch your Christmas tree glow with a warm, festive light.
