single registration for all skill levels
Please select a date to see available instructors and time slots.
Please be sure to review our Studio and Breakage Policy before attending your class.
Serve up holiday cheer in style! In this festive 3-hour workshop, you’ll handbuild a tree-shaped appetizer serving dish, perfect for holiday hosting, cookie platters, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
We’ll guide you through the process step by step, from rolling and cutting to stamping, designing, and painting. You’ll have access to plenty of tools, textures, and underglaze paints to make your dish truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you keep it classic, colorful, or playful, your piece will shine with your own holiday flair.
Important Note: To have your dish ready in time for Christmas, you must attend a workshop before December 1. The process takes about 3 weeks as your piece needs to dry, be bisque fired, glazed, and fired again.
Each dish will be finished with a clear glaze and kiln-fired, making it a durable, food-safe, and dishwasher-friendly keepsake you can use year after year.
