Make a Clay Lantern at Home

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, GQ, Daily Mirror, The Metro, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Book or Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping in the UK is free, and it should arrive within 2 to 4 business days. We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

Making pottery at home is easy with this craft kit! Enjoy the relaxing experience that playing with clay can give you and make a beautiful lantern to hold your candles.

Your pottery teacher will teach you how to use your pottery kit to create your lantern. You will be using air dry clay, so no kiln or oven is needed, making this DIY pottery project great for beginners. Using some basic techniques, you can create a beautiful candle holder for your home.

Customise your lantern by choosing your clay colour. You can pick between grey and terracotta clay. Terracotta is good if you want a natural look, whereas grey is best if you want to paint it once it's dry. Grey can also be left natural. The pottery kit will include enough clay to make at least two lanterns.

Pottery at home is a great way to destress and relax while also making some amazing DIY home decor. Working with clay is a great creative outlet and can help you focus. So if you need productive things to do at home, try this live online class.

This virtual class is also great for virtual team building activities. Get your best friends or work colleagues together for some fun and to care for your mental wellbeing.

There is a minimum booking requirement of 3 people. If this number is not reached, you may be contacted to reschedule to a date with more participants.

There are a few dates available to book, but please request a private class if you have a specific date in mind.
