Step Into a Cozy, Creative Haven
This session invites you to slow down, play with clay, and reconnect with your creative spirit. Whether you are completely new to pottery or looking to explore new hand-building techniques, you’ll be guided step-by-step.
Cutting and Shaping
You'll start with a flat slab of clay and learn how to use essential hand-building tools to start shaping your house walls, roof sections and decorative tiles! Plenty of help will be on hand if you need it.
Tracing and Cutting Your Pieces
Now comes the fun part of bringing your design to life! In this step, you’ll place your paper house template flat onto your rolled-out slab of clay. Using templates is a wonderful way to make sure all your walls and roof panels turn out the exact right size.
Joining the Edges
Bevel the edges of each clay panel at a 45° angle so they fit together neatly, like a picture frame. Score the edges and add slip or water to help the panels bond securely, creating strong, seamless corners for your little house.
Putting the Walls Together
Attach the front and side walls to the base, joining the corners to create your little house shape. Score the edges with tiny grooves and add slip or water to help the clay pieces bond securely before adding the roof and windows!
Glaze and Details
Once your house has been assembled and fired, bring it to life with colourful underglazes and glazes. Add terracotta tones to the roof tiles, mossy green accents around the entrance and a glossy finish to the walls, ready to glow beautifully by candlelight!
- Roll slabs of paper clay and cut panels for your walls and roof.
- Assemble your 3D Christmas house structure.
- Use speciality cutters to create glowing windows, starry cut-outs and doors.
- Add vibrant colour directly to your wet piece, from snowy roofs to festive details.
