Sgraffito Christmas Clay Decorations Workshop

Get into the festive spirit with a hands-on ceramic ornament-making workshop!



2 hours Location Brixton Class size 1 to 6 guests   £55

Join this festive sgraffito workshop in London and create your own decorations with expert instruction in the technique. It's a joyful, hands-on way to get into the Christmas spirit, whether you're a first-timer or have worked with clay before.
You'll start by cutting festive shapes from slabs of clay, using cookie cutters or your own freehand imagination. Then comes the fun part: decorating one side of each piece with colourful underglaze painting, before carving through the surface with sgraffito to reveal crisp, eye-catching designs beneath. Your teacher will guide you through every step, from how to layer your colours to how to carve clean lines, so you'll feel at ease even if you've never touched clay before.
Everything you need is provided, including tools, studio glazes, underglazes, tracing paper, stencils and carving tools. You can sketch out your ideas with tracing paper, use stencils to get started, or simply follow your imagination and see where the clay takes you. Wonky is beautiful, and no two pieces will look the same.
  • Cut festive shapes from clay slabs using cookie cutters or freehand
  • Paint colourful designs with underglaze
  • Carve detailed patterns using the sgraffito technique
  • Choose your four favourite pieces to be fired
At the end of the session, you'll pick your four favourite creations to be fired at Earthworks and finished with a studio glaze. You'll head home with a handful of one-of-a-kind, handmade keepsakes, perfect for hanging on the tree, giving as gifts or simply enjoying yourself. Come ready to make some clay-merry magic!
Please note: under-18s must attend with an adult.
