Before you know it, Christmas will be here, so start getting into the Christmas spirit by building your very own ceramic gingerbread house. Perfect for a gift or just to treat yourself.You will be shown how to roll out the slabs of clay and then use a template to cut out the shapes. You will be shown how to stick the pieces together into a gingerbread house. You can then really have fun and get creative decorating with the candies and icing. Once assembled you will paint it with coloured slips.
Once dry, your gingerbread house will be fired in our kiln, then a clear glaze will be applied and it will be fired again ready for you to come back in to collect. This usually takes between 10 to 30 days. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try.
Collection/delivery: Your item will usually be ready within 10 to 30 days. You can either collect your item from Wheal Martyn or we can post it to you. If you would like it posted, please select this option when you book online.
Combine with a visit: If you are not an annual pass holder but would like to combine your workshop with a visit to the museum you can purchase a reduced-price admission ticket at the point of booking.
Level: Beginners, ages from 10 up to any age welcome. Any child under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Workshop duration: Four hours (end time may vary slightly)
Price: £45.00 per person
