Make a Festive Ceramic Lantern

Get ready for the festive season with a hands-on creative experience! Join ceramic artist Anne Barrell at the Sussex Guild Shop in Lewes on Saturday 15th November 2025 for a slab-built lantern workshop — the perfect way to make something beautiful, personal, and handmade for Christmas.

Over three relaxed and creative hours, Anne will guide you through the process of rolling out clay slabs, joining seams, cutting decorative shapes, and adding a lid — perhaps topped with a cheerful little robin! You’ll also have the chance to decorate with colourful ceramic underglazes before your lanterns are twice-fired and finished with a clear, shiny glaze.

Enjoy plenty of tea, coffee, and biscuits as you create your own unique lantern, perfect as a Christmas decoration or a thoughtful handmade gift.
