Candle Holder Workshop at Honeybourne Pottery

Make this festive season glow! Throw and hand-decorate your own candlesticks on the potter’s wheel, creating a timeless keepsake to light cosy winter nights. Perfect for all skill levels.
The workshop begins with a demonstration, where we’ll showcase a variety of candlestick styles – from classic and elegant to rustic and characterful – to spark your inspiration.
You’ll then spend around an hour at the wheel, throwing a number of candle holders as you experiment with form and style. Afterwards, you’ll choose your favourite piece to hand-decorate with colourful slips, adding your own creative touches – and even details such as a handle if you wish.
We’ll finish your candlestick with a professional clear stoneware glaze and fire it twice in our kiln. Your bespoke piece will be ready to collect in around 4 weeks – just in time to cast a warm glow through the festive season and beyond.
Whether you’re looking for a fun seasonal activity, a unique handmade gift, or simply the joy of creating something special by hand, this exclusive workshop is a perfect way to get creative and cosy this winter.
