You can put a tea light or a small set of lights underneath to illuminate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe will use terracotta clay to make our gingerbread as, when fired, this resembles the real thing! Learn to use slab building techniques to construct the house - there will be a choice of designs and templates to use. We’ll first cut out windows and doors before assembly then decorate with pottery sweets, if you wish, and finally use glaze directly onto the clay as icing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou can keep things simple or go for an elaborate and intricate design. There will be some textured rollers which can be used to imprint a pattern onto the clay to act as a guide for applying the glaze colours. In this creative workshop you will get to use a type of glaze called ‘Designer Liner’ in small squeezy bottles – this is easier than painting or even icing! Enjoy a leisurely day creating a delightful gingerbread house with terracotta clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLunch is not included and you will need to bring your own with you. We will stop for about 30mins at approximately 1pm for lunch but timings may vary depending on how everyone is doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhether you're a seasoned potter or a complete beginner, this workshop is perfect for anyone who loves creativity and wants to have a fun and rewarding day. All techniques will be demonstrated and all equipment provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: If you have done a previous pottery workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e, where you have constructed a house, you are welcome to bring along your own design and template.
