Design and make your own unique and beautiful hanging Christmas wreath from stoneware clay with Charlotte Morrison. Perfect to hang in a window, hook on a fireplace or on your tree. Make one large wreath of around 20cm diameter plus some smaller experimental practice pieces. You will learn how to plan your piece, prepare, roll, texture and cut the clay, fix leaves and other sculpted items to form the wreath and apply finishing touches.

Please note the materials charge includes the cost of firing and it is payable on the day. If you are unable to collect, items can be posted after firing but a nominal postage charge will apply.

Please note there is a £20 material charge payable on the day.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

Please come in clothes that you don't mind getting messy - we have some aprons but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.

There will be plenty of materials for you to experiment with but you may bring items with textures such as:

- wallpaper
- fabric or lace
- natural objects such s shells, grasses, leaves, seed heads etc.

These can be used to decorate your work and Charlotte will have lots of others to choose from too.

“Enthusiastic teacher, passionate about her work, helps to get the student on the way. Enjoyed all of it, can’t single out anything in particular, loved it all – so much fun to try something new – time flew by!”

– Alison
