Create something special this holiday season with our Christmas Plate Handbuilding Workshop — a festive and beginner-friendly pottery experience for everyone.

In this 2-hour session, participants will learn the basics of handbuilding to craft and decorate their own Christmas-themed plate. Using simple slab shaping and carving techniques, you’ll design one plate that reflects your personal style — perfect for the holidays. Choose from festive cutouts, patterns, or create your own unique shapes. You will also be painting on the pieces! The photos shown are studio samples for inspiration; every piece will be one of a kind.

Your finished plate can be used as a catch-all dish for jewelry, keys, and small keepsakes, or as a food-safe plate for serving cookies and holiday treats.

This workshop is great for gifting or spending time with friends and family during the holidays.

Last Workshop Date: December 7th, to ensure all pieces are glazed and fired in time for Christmas pickup

Spaces are limited — join us for a cozy, festive handbuilding session and create a piece that will warm your hands (and heart) all season long.

Pottery is a delicate process, and sometimes pieces may crack or break during drying or firing. This can happen for many reasons—like air bubbles forming while you pulled up the clay, not enough compression at the base, drying too quickly due to weather, or issues during kiln firing. While we do our best to prevent this and it doesn’t happen often, we can’t guarantee that every piece will survive the full process 100% of the time. It’s all part of the pottery journey—and at Clayground, we embrace the wabi-sabi mindset: perfectly imperfect.
