Settle in & Get Creative

Settle in & Get Creative

Our workshop takes place in a spacious, relaxed setting, with a maximum of just 12 guests. You’ll be seated across two large tables, with no more than six people per table, giving everyone plenty of room to paint, decorate and enjoy the experience comfortably.


Everything you'll need to create

Everything You'll Need to Create

You’ll receive three ceramic baubles to decorate, with a selection of acrylic paints and acrylic paint pens. Choose your colours, mix and match, and make each bauble completely your own.


Paint Your Base colour

Paint Your Base Colour

You will choose your base colour and paint your baubles with 1–2 coats of acrylic paint. While they dry, if you wish, you can purchase a drink of your choice from the café, then start planning your designs and practise your ideas on paper before decorating your baubles.


Now It’s Time to Add Your Design

Now It's Time to Add Your Design

With your base colour dry, it’s time to get creative and bring your baubles to life. Using the acrylic paints and paint pens provided, add the designs of your choice — follow one of the examples for inspiration or create something completely your own.

Take your time, have fun and make each of your three baubles uniquely yours.


Finishing Touches & Gift Wrapping

Finishing Touches & Gift Wrapping

Once your designs are complete and your baubles are dry, it’s time for the finishing touches. Choose a coordinating ribbon for each bauble, then carefully package them in their individual festive gift boxes.

You’ll leave with three beautiful, hand-painted ceramic baubles, created entirely by you and ready to hang on your tree, give as thoughtful handmade gifts, or treasure for years to come.


Get into the festive spirit at this relaxed, hands-on bauble painting workshop in Wigan, where you'll create one-of-a-kind decorations to hang on your tree or give as gifts. No painting experience is needed, so it's ideal for first-timers. We'll guide you through every step, from choosing your colours to adding your own festive designs.
Once you've picked your colours, you'll paint your baubles with a base coat, adding a second coat where needed for a lovely, even finish. Then it's time to get creative. You can follow the sample designs and inspiration provided, or let your imagination lead and create something entirely your own. There's plenty of time to experiment with colours, patterns and festive details, so there's no need to rush.
Here's how the session flows:
  • Select your colour palette.
  • Paint your baubles with acrylic paint.
  • Apply a second coat where needed for a lovely, even finish.
  • Take a short refreshment break (available to purchase from the cafe) while the paint dries.
  • Plan and practise your designs using the inspiration sheets provided.
  • Decorate your baubles with acrylic paint pens and acrylic paint.
  • Add personalised details, patterns or festive wording.
  • Choose coordinating ribbons.
  • Package your finished baubles in presentation boxes, ready to take home.
By the end, you'll have a set of handmade baubles that are entirely yours, beautifully packaged and ready to hang, gift or keep for yourself. Pop along and let your festive creativity shine!
Please note: this workshop is designed for adults aged 16 and over. Anyone aged 16 or 17 must attend with a participating adult.

About Peppermint Creations
My love of crafting began many years ago as a young girl, encouraged and inspired by my lovely nana. What started as a childhood passion has stayed with me throughout my life and eventually grew into Peppermint Creations.
After a period of serious illness, I decided it was time for a change of direction in my career and to spend more time doing something I genuinely loved. In 2020, I became a Cricut Ambassador, and since then I've had the pleasure of sharing my love of crafting with people across the Greater Manchester area.
Over the years, I've run a wide variety of creative workshops, including Christmas bauble painting, reusable Christmas cracker making, candle decorating, Christmas wreath making, and many more.
My experience ranges from hosting large event days for organisations, with creative drop-in sessions for employees throughout the day, to hosting smaller, more personal workshops held at large stores like John Lewis and lovely local venues and independent spaces. I really enjoy the different atmosphere each type of event brings and can adapt my workshops to suit the setting and the people taking part.
One of the things I love most is watching what happens once a workshop gets underway. Some people arrive full of confidence and can't wait to get started, while others are a little nervous or tell me they're "not creative".
It rarely takes long for everyone to begin to relax, chat and enjoy themselves. There's something very special about switching off from everyday life for a couple of hours, trying something new and discovering a creative side you might not even have realised you had.
My workshops are relaxed, friendly and suitable for beginners. You don't need any previous experience and there's no pressure to make something perfect. I'll be there to provide inspiration, demonstrate techniques and offer as much or as little help as you need.
Most importantly, I want everyone to enjoy the experience and leave feeling proud of what they've created — taking home something lovely that they've made themselves and can enjoy and treasure for many years to come.
I look forward to welcoming you to a Peppermint Creations workshop and seeing what you create!
