Páistí make their own clay Christmas tree in a fun, beginner-friendly handbuilding class. All materials and firing included.

Ceardlann na Nollag — a Christmas clay workshop for young makers!

Join Chelsea Power, local ceramic artist at her Cré & Gael festive morning of hands-on clay fun. Children aged 8 and up will shape, build and decorate their very own ceramic Christmas tree, a keepsake made to be brought out year after year.

No experience needed. We’ll guide every step, from rolling and shaping the clay to adding decorations and colour. It’s a relaxed and creative session where every tree turns out a little different, and that’s the magic of it.

Cré & Gael brings Irish language and culture into every session, so expect a sprinkle of Gaeilge along the way. Whether your child is fluent, learning at school, or has no Irish at all, everyone is welcome.

Fáilte roimh gach duine!
