About this workshop

We're delighted to have the wonderfully talented Jill Ballard from Absolutely Potty joining us for another of our fabulous Christmas pottery workshops!

Not only is she absolutely potty, but she's absolutely brilliant! ❤️

Jill is one of the best potters I know, and I've learnt so much from her over the years. She's a fantastic teacher with a wonderful way of making everyone feel relaxed, confident and capable of creating something beautiful, even if they've never touched clay before.

And this time, we're making a rather gorgeous and unique Christmas angel! With her flowing dress, delicate wings and lovely handmade details, this charming ceramic angel is full of festive character. Choose your own colours and finishing touches to give her a personality that's uniquely yours! ❤️

Whether she takes pride of place on your mantelpiece, sits amongst your Christmas decorations or becomes a treasured handmade gift, she'll be something special to bring out year after year.

And the best bit? Every angel will have her own personality!

Never worked with clay before? You're in exactly the right place!

This workshop is absolutely suitable for complete beginners. Jill will guide everyone through the process step by step, working at a comfortable pace so nobody feels rushed or left behind.

And I, (Tracy, The Potty Hare) will be there too, helping everyone around the table, offering an extra pair of hands when needed and, of course, making sure the tea, coffee and biscuits keep coming!

We're all about enjoying the process, having fun, learning something new and creating something you'll be genuinely proud of.

What to expect

How the workshop works
Session 1 – Let's get making! (Approx. 2–3 hours)
You'll be guided through making your very own Christmas angel from clay, adding all those lovely little details that make each one unique.
Once you've finished, your creation will be left to dry thoroughly before going into the kiln for its first firing.

Session 2 – Time to add some colour! (Approx. 1–2 hours, around 2 weeks later)
You'll return to the studio to decorate and glaze your angel, bringing all those beautiful details to life.
Your finished piece will then go back into the kiln for its final firing, ready for you to collect once it's cooled.

What's included?
Two lovely, relaxed pottery sessions
Expert tuition from Jill, with extra help from me (Tracy, The Potty Hare)
All clay, tools, materials and glazes
Both kiln firings
Tea, coffee, biscuits and plenty of encouragement!

No experience necessary. Just bring yourself, a little enthusiasm and a willingness to get your hands muddy!

We can't wait to welcome you to The Potty Hare for a little Christmas creativity!
