$75 includes all materials, firing, and glazing fees for one medium sized tree

*If you’d like to make more than one tree, there will be an additional firing fee based on the size of your tree.


Make a fun, modern Christmas tree for your Christmas table or mantlepiece.  They’re gorgeous on their own, or you can pop a candle under it to light up the room!  

You’ll cut a cone pattern out of a slab of clay and assemble it, attach a tree topper, then cut out stars or other shapes to let the light through!  You’ll leave the tree with us to fire and glaze, and you’ll have it back before Christmas.




SANTA GNOMES

$85 includes all materials, firing, and glazing fees

Create an adorable “Santa Gnome” to add a little whimsy to your home this Christmas season!  You’ll start with a flat sheet of clay and you’ll cut a form out of a template.
