Come along to our Christmas decoration making workshop and make some beautiful decorations to add a tasteful touch to your tree, or even make a few decorations to give away as unique gifts.
You don't need any previous clay experience and even absolute beginners will be able to make something gorgeous with Yasmin's guidance. However, this workshop caters to adults and children who are 12 and over who have a vaccine pass
The cost includes 2.5kg of clay which will make a few decorations, as well as use of our underglazes to add a touch of colour. Firing and glazing will cost a few dollars extra depending on how much you make.
Pleases note: My Vaccine Pass is in operation at the studio.
