Join us at Henfield Pottery for a relaxed and festive 3-hour workshop where you’ll create your own ceramic Christmas tea light house from clay.
We’ll guide you through each stage, from rolling and preparing your clay to constructing the walls and roof, cutting out windows and doors, and adding all the small decorative details that make your house unique.
You can keep your design simple and traditional, or make it completely your own with textured roofs, stars, hearts, brickwork, snowy details or something a little more unusual.
Once your house is built, you’ll have time to decorate before leaving it with us to dry and be fired in the studio.
No previous pottery experience is needed, this is an 18+ only workshop. We’ll demonstrate the techniques and be on hand throughout the session to help.

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 tealight house, one step at a time.
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! The Christmas Tealight House 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 Tealight House?
You can paint it 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 Tealight House 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.
