Christmas activities in the Illawarra
What to do with kids in the illawarra at Christmas time?
Black Duck Studio holds creative workshops every year from October onwards to make Christmas decorations out of clay. Making ceramic decorations is much more special than simply buying them from the store!
Come in to make some ceramic Christmas tree decorations, or some Christmas ornaments for your table, and treasure them for years to come.
If you’d prefer you could just come in to paint a Christmas bauble, or paint a Christmas themed ceramic piece!
Which is closer to you? Towradgi or Kiama?
This page is for our Towradgi Studio Christmas Workshops.
If you would prefer KIAMA, you could check out the events at Moist ‘n’ Glazed Kiama here:

You will be given the clay and hand tools, and can make as many as you like with the clay provided.
Air dry clay workshop, and paint with acrylic paint.
Make & Paint a Xmas Plate

Using earthenware clay, we will show everyone how to roll out the clay and lay it inside a template to create a plate.
You can then decorate the plate with underglaze colours (these are just like paint, anyone can do it!)
This is a kiln-fired clay workshop, with painting included. Plate will be ready for pick-up 3 weeks later.

If you’d prefer to just paint, we’ve got you.
We’ll have plates, mugs, Christmas themed dishes and even a santa sleigh on the shelf ready for glazing!
