Handbuilding Ceramics: Make Your Own Christmas Ornament

  • Mango in a Pot 13AHS Magalhaensplein Amsterdam, NH, 1057 VD Netherlands (map)

Spend a cozy 2.5 hours creating Christmas ornaments that are completely your own—perfect to hang on your tree or gift to someone special. In this festive handcrafting workshop, Alyona will guide you through shaping and decorating ornaments that capture the holiday spirit in your style.

We know it feels early to start thinking about Christmas gifts—but ceramics is a slow and thoughtful process. Your ornaments will need time to dry, fire, and (if you choose) get a glossy glaze so they’re ready just in time for the holidays.

You’ll learn simple clay techniques to form unique ornaments, whether you imagine classic baubles, festive stars, or playful winter shapes. After shaping, you’ll decorate your pieces with ceramic pigments, adding colors, patterns, or even personal touches like initials or the year. Want to make more than one ornament? Go for it! Whether you create a matching set or a mix of designs, it’s all up to you.

If you want, we can apply a clear glaze for a glossy, polished finish—available for an extra 11 EUR.

Cost: 80 EUR per person
Duration: 2.5 hours
Optional clear glaze: +11 EUR

No experience is needed—just bring your holiday cheer and a spark of creativity. This workshop is relaxed and welcoming, a chance to slow down during the festive season and make something special by hand. You’ll leave with one (or more!) handmade ornaments ready to brighten your home—or someone else’s—for many Christmases to come.
