A little festive making, a lot of clay, and a collection of decorations that are completely your own.
Come and spend a cosy couple of hours with us at Henfield Pottery making your own ceramic Christmas decorations. We’ll roll, cut, stamp, texture and decorate clay to create a collection of handmade decorations ready to hang on the tree, give as gifts, add to a present or bring out again year after year. Think stars, wonky trees, little houses, gingerbread people, stamped patterns, personalised decorations or something completely different. We’ll have plenty of ideas and inspiration in the studio, but what you make is entirely up to you.

PER PERSON
Clay, BYOB and a few festive touches.
We want this to feel like more than simply coming in, making something and heading home.
Expect a relaxed studio atmosphere, plenty of creative freedom, tea and coffee, a few seasonal treats and just enough Christmas to get you into the festive spirit. With the option to BYOB too, making it an opportunity to relax into your making.
Come with a friend, make one for your own home, or create something handmade to give as a Christmas gift.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! No experience is necessary. We'll show you how to make your ceramic Christmas decorations giving you lots of ideas but space to explore your own creativity.
What should I wear?
Choose comfortable clothing that can get a little muddy, and please tie back long hair.
Can I bring a drink?
Yes! This Christmas decoration workshop is an adults-only BYOB workshop. Feel free to bring along your preferred alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.
How can I decorate my Christmas decorations?
You can paint them with underglazes during the session or select a studio glaze for us to apply later. Your ticket covers all glazing and firing.
Will I take my Christmas decoration home that evening?
Not just yet! We'll keep it at the studio while it dries and goes through the glazing and firing process. We aim to have everything ready to collect before Christmas, but cannot promise a specific collection date.

All participants must be aged 18 or over.
Where can I find you, and can I park?
Our address is Unit 4A, Vinalls Business Centre, Nep Town Road, Henfield, BN5 9DZ. You can park on site or along Broomfield Road.
When should I get there?
