Paint Ceramic Christmas Ornaments at Walkerville Brewery — Ladies Night in Tecumseh

On select weeknights in Tecumseh, Ontario, the taproom at Walkerville Brewery becomes a low-lit studio where paint, glaze and laughter meet craft beer. The event — Ladies Night @ Walkerville Brewery: Paint your Own Ceramic Christmas Ornaments — is a 2.5-hour workshop that hands you three bisque ornaments, brushes, paints and a relaxed schedule for making holiday keepsakes. It’s less about perfection and more about the kind of handiwork that arrives ready to hang and to start conversations. Arrive and stake a spot at communal tables that invite side-by-side making; the brewery’s long planks and industrial light fixtures create an informal workshop bay. Facilitators guide glaze choices and demonstrate underglaze techniques, stenciling and metallic accents so even first-time painters leave with polished results. Participants typically paint two flat discs and one shaped ornament—each fired later to set the colors—so you’ll take home finished pieces or receive pickup instructions depending on the session. This workshop’s appeal is the collision of two local scenes: Windsor-Tecumseh craft brewing and hands-on ceramics. Walkerville Brewery provides the social backdrop—pours from the taps, seasonal beer and soda options—while the art table brings a tactile, personal project into the mix. That combination makes the evening both social and productive: friends can trade brush tips between sips, and individuals can focus on detailed patterns without feeling isolated. The venue’s open floor plan and casual drink menu make it easy to stay late and compare ornaments. Practical strengths: you don’t need prior ceramics experience, materials are included, and the session length fits into an evening out. Expect to stand or lean during parts of the workshop; wear paint-friendly clothing. The class is 19+ and suited to all levels—the workshop tone is upbeat and collaborative rather than instructionally rigid. Why book this when visiting Tecumseh? It’s an efficient way to connect with local makers and leave with a tangible memory of a trip—three handcrafted ornaments unlike anything from a shop. For visitors who prefer curated nights out to passive tours, this workshop converts a brewery stop into a creative outing. It also supports local small business: your ticket covers supplies and the shared cost of studio time at a community-minded brewery. Bookings are sold per session with limited seats, so reserve early to guarantee a spot. Most workshops provide clear pickup windows for fired pieces or offer mail options; ask the host at booking for timelines. The taproom is ground-level with nearby street parking; if accessibility needs exist, notify the organizer in advance so staff can arrange accommodations and dietary restrictions.
