Join us for a fun-filled family day where creativity thrives! Kids can choose from a variety of unique sculptures, like pirate mugs or racecars, and personalize them with colors. Plus, learn to hand-build charming Christmas ornaments that double as tealight holders. A memorable experience awaits, with pieces ready for pickup in three weeks!
We have a few different options, in varying sizes on our shelves, some examples are burger shaped money boxes, mugs, princesses, spiders, pirate mugs, racecars and spiders.
Pieces subjected to availability on the day!
Kids can choose the piece the like, then choose their colours and we will set them up with an apron and paint brushes to colour in their sculpture.
After the workshop we will clear glaze and fire their piece and it will be ready in approximately 3 weeks for pickup.
