How to organise: This is a great event for friends or families (suitable for kids 8 and up). All you need to do is select an available date and time under ‘Book a Private Class’, input your details, and your pottery party will be organised and ready when you are!

“We organised a private pottery class for our end-of-year Christmas party, and it turned out to be an absolute hit! Everyone had an amazing time, and the class was not only fun but also a unique experience that we’ll all remember. 

The setup was thoughtfully designed, creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the event. The cute and warming vibe made it an unforgettable experience for all of us.” - Jina H.

How to organise: If your party is under 11 people, feel free to find a public session that suits everyone and book in!

“Making our own perfumes was as interesting as it was fun! The thought that has gone into how to walk a novice through the process was impressive and the staff were both helpful and full of useful tips. It is an impressively well thought out space with lots of interesting bits and pieces to get (happily) distracted by. We loved it!!!” - Nicole H.

7. Get mindful in a Kintsugi class

If you’re after a mindful, reflective craft activity this Christmas, try a Kintsugi class in Sydney. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold infill. The process is a quiet reflection of how we can take broken or messy pieces from the past and remake them to be beautiful, without forgetting the cracks they left. 

Overall, Kintsugi helps us to remember that even the not-so-great parts of our year had meaning, and got us to where we are today. 

The set-up: In this session, you and your group will be guided through a short, mindful writing exercise to reflect on gratitude and the beauty in life’s ‘imperfect’ moments. Everyone will get everything they need to write down their thoughts and ultimately create a meaningful piece of Kintsugi art in a calm and supportive environment. Warning: this class may pull some heartstrings. 

What to bring: You and your nearest and dearest. You may want to encourage people to start thinking about what they’re grateful for this year! 

How to organise: If you have a group of over 8 people, we recommend booking a private session from the available dates listed. Once you’ve input your details, all you have to do is click ‘book’ and everything will be ready on your chosen date and time! If this Christmas party craft is for under 8, you can lock in a public date.

8. Make a Christmas wreath to last

Get especially Christmassy with your favourite people this year and pop into a dried flower wreath class in Sydney. 

The set-up: Expect a welcoming and warm space set up for you and your group to create a timeless dried flower Christmas wreath. All the flowers and materials will be provided, along with light refreshments and lots of festive vibes. 

What to bring: Any sentimental ribbons or decorations you want to add to your wreath, though there will be plenty of beautiful things to choose from.

How to organise: If you want to enjoy a cosy day with just your loved ones, you can request a private class for anywhere from 4 to 30 guests. Fragrantsoul Flowers usually accepts their requests quickly, but there may be some back and forth to settle on one of your preferred date. If you’d prefer to lock something in right away, you can book in a public session for up to 15 people.

9. Get crafty with printmaking

For an out-of-the-box Christmas party craft, gather your friends and explore the art of printmaking in Melbourne. 

The set-up: In this two-hour printmaking class on the Mornington Peninsula, your party will have the chance to unleash their creativity with everything set up for them to make their own linocut prints. There’ll even be time to venture into multiple plate prints, allowing everyone to create another tailored design. With everything ready to go, all you and your faves have to worry about is taking in the lesson and spending time being creative. 

What to bring: Tell everyone to bring an inspiration image they’d like to make (it could be a Christmas-themed print or not) and to wear clothes they don’t mind getting a little messy.

How to organise: This one is great for families and friends alike. The class welcomes kids over 5. If you’d like to book a private class, you just need to click ‘request’ and input your preferred dates. Most of the time, the teacher will accept! If you don’t mind mingling and getting to know like-minded people, you can book in for up to 30 people in a public session. 

10. Find inner peace with Yoga and journaling

If you want to mix some crafting with a bit of slow and mindful movement, join this yoga and journaling workshop in Hobart. 

The set-up: Get ready to breathe deeply and let go. Soulstyle and Palette and Party have come together to bring Hobart a holistic wellness experience. This is perfect if you and your group need to slow down, reset, and reconnect with yourselves (and each other!). The session begins with a calming vinyasa yoga session before moving into a guided mindful journalling experience. Everyone will even get their own journal to personalise, decorate and fill. Talk about serene!

What to bring: All that’s recommended is a water bottle and comfortable clothing to move in. The rest is sorted, so you only need to worry about letting go and enjoying yourselves. 

How to organise: You’re very welcome to book a public session for up to 13 people. If your group is larger, or you’d like more privacy, you can request a private class.

11. Make a special Christmas mug

Last, but not least, have an absolute ball making your own Christmas mugs in this Adelaide pottery workshop. 

The set up: Everything is organised! You and the group's biggest worry will be what Christmas design you’re going to create. Everyone will sit down in this light-filled studio, share some laughs and get messy as they create a charming festive mug to call their own. Whether you glaze a cheeky Santa, a collection of mistletoe, or your favourite reindeer, this mug will mark a Christmas get-together you’ll never quite forget. 

What to bring: Just yourselves (and maybe a design in mind!).

How to organise: You can lock a session in right away by choosing a publicly available date, or if you want a more intimate Christmas crafting session, request a private class.

No matter which Christmas craft you pick, gathering around a table to make something together is what holiday memories are built on. Pack up your handmade creations, take home a piece of the magic, and enjoy a season made a little brighter by your own hands. Happy crafting!
