Stone Circle Pottery’s Christmas Ornament Workshop

My Christmas Ornament Pottery Workshop has been such a hit the last few years. This year, we’ll be making four fabulous ornaments:

  • Morris the Jolly Moose
  • Birds of a Feather House (fan favourite from last year and highly requested)
  • Sassie Cat
  • Poppy the Penguin

This Pottery Experience is aimed at people of all skill levels. Even if you’ve never touched clay in your life, I will show you, in specific detail, step by step, how to make these spectacularly cute and delightfully intricate ornaments. I’ll professionally finish these ornaments for you including firing and glazing, and have them ready for you to pick-up after about two weeks. That means they’ll be ready for your Christmas tree, decorating around the house, or giving as fabulous Christmas gifts!
