Adult Workshop:

Clay Gingerbread House

 Coming up:  17th October 2026

Somerset Brick and Tile Museum

Create something sweet, spellbinding, and one-of-a-kind. Sculpt an enchanting gingerbread house out of clay, twinkling with warmth and charm.



 Coming up:  17th October 2026

Sculpt your own kiln-baked, gingerbread house out of clay. Designed to hold a twinkling tealight, there’s no wicked witches involved, only a cosy ceramic cottage glowing with charm.

Using pre-cut templates and white slip frosting, you’ll sculpt and decorate your gingerbread house. Add your own decorative details, maybe iced peppermint swirls dripping from the rooftops, or candy-cane chimneys. These whimsical details will make your cottage look good enough to eat (but please don’t).

Once fired in the kiln, your gingerbread house will be ready to collect in time to dazzle your mantels over Christmas. All items will be fired and will be ready for collection a minimum of 4 weeks after the event – no breadcrumbs required.

This workshop is suitable for adults. Booking required.
