NEW DATE ADDED!
Due to popular demand, I’ve added an extra Christmas Ceramic Wreath Workshop on Sunday 15 November at 10 am, taking place in my ceramics studio in Balbriggan.
This is an additional date with limited spaces available. A lovely chance to join in if you missed out on the earlier dates!
Christmas Ceramic Wreath Workshop
Start your Christmas season with something handmade.
Join me for a creative ceramic workshop where you’ll make your own unique Christmas wreath from clay – a handmade decoration to treasure and bring out year after year.
Three dates are now available:
- Saturday 7 November – Ardgillan Castle, Balbriggan
- Saturday 14 November – Stories by Ola Studio, Balbriggan
- Sunday 15 November – Stories by Ola Studio, Balbriggan
All workshops start at 10 am. Please select your preferred date when booking.
During this 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll learn handbuilding techniques, shape your wreath and create decorative details such as leaves and berries. You’ll then paint your piece using colourful underglazes to give it your own personal touch.
No previous ceramics experience is needed. I’ll guide you through the process, step by step, so you can enjoy the experience and focus on creating something beautiful.
What happens after the workshop?
Once your wreath is complete, I’ll take care of the finishing process in my studio. Your piece will go through a bisque firing, glazing and a second firing to create a durable ceramic decoration.
Your finished wreath will be ready for collection in about 3–5 weeks, once the firing process is complete.
A creative experience to share
This workshop is suitable for adults and young people aged 16+ attending independently. Children aged 10+ are also welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian, with both the child and adult participating in the workshop. Each participant needs their own booking and will create their own wreath.
It’s a lovely opportunity to spend creative time together and make something personal for the festive season.
