MAKE & PAINT a tea light house

Add a warm, handmade glow to your home with your very own ceramic tealight house.

ABOUT THE CLASS

In this relaxed and creative workshop, you’ll shape a small clay house complete with windows, doors, and even a chimney if you’d like. Whether you keep your design simple and classic or add more playful, whimsical details, each piece develops its own character.

Once your house is built, you’ll decorate it using colourful glazes, ready to bring it to life when lit from within.

What to Expect

You’ll be guided through simple hand-building techniques to construct your ceramic house, shaping the walls, roof, and details like windows and openings for the light to shine through.

After building, you’ll paint your piece using a selection of studio glazes, choosing colours that suit your style and home.

There’s plenty of room to get creative, and no pressure to make it perfect — just a chance to enjoy the process and create something unique.

Once complete, your tealight house will be fired in the kiln and ready for collection.
