1. Christmas crafts

Christmas craft workshops can work serious magic when it comes to getting you into the festive spirit. Whether you’re decorating handmade greeting cards for family and friends or learning how to make a pair of Santa stud earrings from scratch, our Christmas craft workshops will have you feeling all kinds of jolly. These festive crafts make great end-of-year team building activities, as your team channel the joy of making something with their own two hands. Let yourself unwind and enjoy all the beauty December has to offer!

2. Artisan crafts

If you’re not into festive-themed crafts, there are still loads of opportunities to get creative at home this Christmas. For example, make your own unique mug and learn how to create beautiful homewares from scratch. Led by experienced artisans, you’ll learn how to shape and decorate your mug before taking it to a local kiln to be fired. You’ll probably be tempted to keep your handmade homewares for yourself, but if you’re feeling generous, homewares made in online art classes make fantastic Christmas gifts too. Online pottery classes and DIY pottery kits are a great way to tap into the mindfulness of craft, a great relief from the stresses that come along with Christmas.

3. Wreath making classes

A symbol of eternal life and light, wreaths are an iconic Christmas decoration. DIY Christmas wreath workshops are live streamed to your living room and include pre-delivered DIY craft kits packed with everything you need to create your own festive décor. Your experienced teacher will walk you through every step of the wreath making process, showing you how to transform vines, fresh foliage, ribbons and botanical-inspired decorations into a living work of art.

As well as enjoying the class itself, wreath making workshops will keep you feeling festive well into January. Hang your wreath on your front door or bring it into the office for some extra Christmas cheer.

4. Floral wreath painting workshops

If you’re not particularly green-fingered and you’d rather get creative with watercolours, you’ll love our floral wreath painting workshops. Under the watchful eye of talented watercolour artists, you’ll learn how to paint whimsical leaves, vines and flowers in these online painting classes.
