Design and make your own unique and beautiful porcelain Christmas decorations. Your work will be fired and posted to you after the course all in good time for the Christmas tree.

– Identify the characteristics of porcelain.
– Understand some of the making processes used when working with clay.
– Produce at least 10 Christmas decorations which demonstrate a range of techniques.

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.

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 please 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.

“Charlotte is very talented – I would love to work as a crafts person after this workshop! It was a really great opportunity to be creative and a great stress reliever!”
