What happens in this class?

This session is all about using porcelain, the queen of clays, to make your own Christmas decorations.

Porcelain is very strong, white and light, with a lovely smooth, soft texture when fired. It’s particularly known for its translucency, which makes it especially suitable for Christmas decorations as the material will show off candlelight and fairy lights. You can embellish your designs with stamps, carving and texture which will particularly show off this quality and even set stones of cubic zirconia to add an extra sparkle to your pieces.

Your tutor will start by demonstrating how to roll, prepare, shape…

6 of us attended a private class and had a great time, the class was led well, we learned a lot about pottery and porcelain and had fun looking at each other's designs. We're definitely looking to attend this class again next year with a larger corporate group!

Your Teacher

Odile studied chemistry, but fell in love with pottery after trying some evening classes in Farnham. After learning to throw and run a studio by working with other artists, she decided to set up her own space in West London which she runs with her partner Kieran.

Odile now works full time as a potter and pottery teacher. She's invented many of the tools, teaching aids and techniques they use at the studio and is constantly experimenting with new ideas and processes. . She also likes cooking and gardening because she can make the dishes...

I attended the porcelain Christmas decorations workshop with a friend and we had a lovely time. It was relaxed and friendly, and even as complete beginners we were able to make some beautiful decorations. Remember that you will have to wait at least a week for your ceramics to be fired and ready for collection.

Wonderful space - out masterclass was very accessible and Odile did a fantastic job walking everyone through potential designs and gave helpful tips throughout! Really enjoyed it 🙌

This was a really lovely class. Odile showed us the basics of how to roll and shape the porcelain (very straightforward), showed lots of examples of what we could make, and then let us get on with being creative! There are loads of cutters and stamps, and the amount of clay is very generous - I wasn’t able to use all of it, despite making almost 20 decorations, including a mini wreath! The pieces fired beautifully and I’m really pleased with the results. I’d highly recommend this class.

I came to the porcelain Christmas decoration class with my mum and we loved it. Kieran is great at explaining the techniques and the studio is lovely and calming. I would 100% reccomend the class to anyone.

It was the most perfect class in the run up to Christmas. Studio is well equipped and Odile is a brilliant teacher. Would go again
