Christmas gifting can feel overwhelming, can’t it? You want to give something thoughtful, something with meaning, something that feels like it genuinely reflects the person you’re buying for. But when you’re wading through endless gift guides, special offers and “stocking fillers”, it’s so easy to feel like you’re just adding more things to someone’s home rather than giving them something they’ll truly treasure.

I wanted to share a little more about one of my favourite offerings here at Brick Kiln Pottery, our 3 Day Intensive Course. It’s one of those experiences that really lets you slow down, focus, and get lost in the rhythm of clay.

There’s something so lovely about the run-up to Christmas here at Brick Kiln Pottery. The studio fills with soft light, a hint of cinnamon in the air, and rows of tiny clay stars and robins waiting to be decorated. It’s become one of our favourite times of year — and our Christmas Ornament & Hot Chocolate Workshops are right at the heart of it.
