Mini Pottery Workshops - Sunday Market

Make Your Own Ceramic Christmas Decorations

Get festive with clay and create your own handmade ceramic Christmas decorations with Lynn Andrews of Larkbarrow Studio.

Choose from festive shapes including Christmas trees, stars and reindeer, then make them your own with patterns, textures and decoration. Each relaxed 30-minute session is perfect for complete beginners, with Lynn on hand to guide you through the process.

Visiting the Shepton Sunday Market? Pop in, escape the bustle of the stalls for half an hour and enjoy a little festive making in The Green Room at The Black Thistle.

At the end of the session, Lynn will take your decorations away to be dried, glazed and fired. They'll be returned to The Black Thistle ready for collection a couple of weeks later, just in time to add to your Christmas tree or give as a handmade gift.
