Why creative workshops work for work Christmas parties
A creative workshop gives everyone the same starting point. There is no fitness level to keep up with, no competition to win and no wrong way to take part, so quieter team members join in as easily as the social ones. Everyone leaves with something they made, whether that is a native wreath for the front door or a handmade mug for their morning coffee.
Workshops are also calm and connecting, which makes them a good fit for teams who want their end of year celebration to feel like a genuine thank you rather than another late night. Our sessions are designed around community, creativity, mindfulness and wellbeing, and they scale from small teams to large groups. We have hosted more than 100 guests in a single sitting.

When will our pottery be ready?
Pottery pieces are fired and glazed after the workshop. Painted pieces are returned four to six weeks later and handbuilt pieces six to eight weeks later. Our studio closes from 21 December to 6 January, so December pieces come back a little later than usual. Christmas wreaths go home with your team on the day.
