FAMILY FRIENDLY | CHRISTMAS DECORATION WORKSHOP | SATURDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2025 | 4PM- 6:30PM | E17 STUDIO

Join us for a festive evening of Christmas Decoration making at our Walthamstow studio. This class is intended for anyone, of all ages, wanting to test their skills with clay and learn the basics while creating some beautiful Christmas decorations, ready to hang on your tree in December. This family friendly class is the perfect way to create some festive family heirlooms to be enjoyed every year, over the generations.

It is open to all ages (6+). Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a guardian who will also need a ticket if they want to participate, or they are welcome to hang out in the studio with a book and a cuppa during the class. Our teachers are not DBS checked and therefore children should not be left unattended at the studio.

The class will consist of a short introduction to the studio, the materials and a hand building technique called “slab building”, as well as a variety of decorating methods using slip and underglazes. At the end of the class you will be able to pick your 5 favourite pieces for us to glaze and fire for you. Your items will be ready to collect within eight weeks.

Children welcome as long as accompanied by an adult up to the age of 14 years. A spot will need to be booked for every person attending.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE

The price includes all clay, materials, and firings.

WHAT TO BRING

Please bring clothes that can get dirty, positive energy and ideas!

We will send you our student handbook a few days prior to the start of the class, with all the information that you need to know. You are welcome to bring your own apron, or you can purchase a SkandiHus apron here. Please choose “local pickup” if you would like to avoid delivery fees and collect your apron during your class.

A small note on sustainability & values

We do our best to keep things gentle on the planet—recycling materials, using renewable energy, and keeping waste to a minimum. You can help too by reusing your course materials where possible and bringing your own packaging when collecting finished pieces.

We believe business can be a force for good—so alongside running joyful, creative studios, we’re committed to doing things properly:

– Paying all staff London Living Wage or above

– Keeping our spaces kind, inclusive and stress-free

– Supporting causes like the ARC food bank and Ella’s, a charity helping survivors of trafficking

– Donating profits from unclaimed pots to charity

– Planting trees each year with One Tree Planted

WHERE

SkandiHus, 11 Hatherley Mews, London, E17 4QP.

Our newly opened Walthamstow studio sits on a charming cobbled mews and is a short walk from both Walthamstow Central and Queen’s Road.

REFUND POLICY

We’re a small, ethically run business - which means we pay our lovely team properly and keep our classes as accessible as possible. To make that work, we offer refunds up to 28 days before the start of your class. After that, refunds aren’t possible — so please do a happy little calendar dance before booking to double-check your dates!

That said, life happens! If things go sideways: 

🤍 Up to 28 days before your class, you can receive a full refund.

🤍 You can swap your booking to another Taster Class up to 14 days before your session.

🤍 Inside 14 days? No swaps, but you’re welcome to gift your spot to a mate or family member (spread the clay joy!).  

Why so strict?
Each weekend, we get numerous last-minute change requests. If we said yes to all of them, we’d have to choose between cutting staff wages or hiking prices - and both options would make us really sad. By sticking to this policy, we keep things fair, keep our team happy, and keep our studios thriving. 

Thanks for understanding - now let’s get making! 🤍✨🤍
