Rolling Your Clay Slab

Rolling Your Clay Slab

Before cutting out your Christmas decorations, you'll prepare your clay base by rolling it into an even, flat slab. Place your lump of clay between two wooden roller guides (0.5cm thickness sticks) on your canvas mat.


Trace and Cut:

Trace and Cut

Place your vegetable template onto the clay slab. Using a needle tool, scalpel, or a fine-tip carving knife held at a straight 90-degree angle, carefully cut around the edges of the template to isolate your festive shape.


Refine edges

Refine Edges

Gently run a damp finger or sponge along the cut edges of your clay piece to smooth away any rough burrs or crumbs, leaving you with a clean, well-defined vegetable ornament ready for texturing and detailing.


Get into the festive spirit and add a splash of fun to your Christmas tree this year! In this creative, hands-on clay workshop in Manchester, you’ll learn how to craft your very own quirky, custom Christmas ornaments using a lightweight, porcelain-like clay that dries beautifully and hangs effortlessly on any branch.
While we’ll be showcasing fun, whimsical festive vegetable designs—think cheeky Brussels sprouts, smiling carrots, or festive radishes—the creative choice is entirely yours! Absolutely no experience needed.
Whether you want to stick with the veggie theme or branch out into your own unique holiday shapes, you'll be guided step-by-step through sculpting, texturing, and adding personality to your creations. You'll take away your unique decorations to show off with pride!

Your teacher


30 Years of Clay Expertise. Zero Experience Needed.
My creative roots began as a Special Educational Needs (SEN) art teacher, a space that taught me a beautiful truth: absolutely everyone can create something unique with the right guidance. After three decades of mastering ceramics and gathering inspiration from global pottery techniques, I focus entirely on helping you build genuine confidence in your artistic skills.
Whether you want to learn the art of throwing pots on the wheel, dive into tactile clay building, relax with pottery painting, or host a mobile private party at your own venue, I make the process simple and stress-free.
You do not need to be an "artist" to create something beautiful. Just bring your curiosity, and I will guide you every single step of the way.
