Workshop Details

Enjoy the magic that unfolds as you create your very own handmade elf sculpture, a perfect addition to your holiday decor.

Learn how to sculpt and shape the clay, adding beautiful details to make your Elf unique. Once the clay is dried and bisqued, return to add glazes and watch your Hygge Elf come to life with colour!

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 2 hours of instruction, stay up to 30 min after to finesse. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1.5-2 hours, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 10 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

“Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience, rather than about things. It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home.”
