Winter Luminaries: Holiday Trees

Light up your holidays with our Winter Luminary Workshop! Craft your own glowing holiday tree and bring festive vibes to your space. Luminary Tree Workshop Light up your holidays with a handmade ceramic tree! In this one-day class, you'll build your own clay luminary—designed to glow from within when lit with a candle or string lights. Learn how to shape your tree by hand, add texture and cutouts, and create something beautiful to display year after year. Your instructor will guide you through the slab-building process step by step, from constructing your tree to adding carved details and openings for the light to shine through. Expect clay-covered hands, a calm studio vibe, and a cozy, creative evening. Your luminary tree will be glazed and fired after class, then ready for pickup in approximately 2–4 weeks—just in time for holiday decorating!
