CHRISTMAS TEAM EVENTS
Looking for something more meaningful than the usual Christmas dinner?
This year, swap the restaurant for the pottery studio!
At Chamotte - our pottery studio in the heart of Hamburg-Eimsbüttel - we create space for teams to slow down, reconnect and get creative.
With candlelight, mulled wine, and muddy hands, you’ll experience a Christmas gathering that’s warm, meaningful, and just a little magical. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festive season - and a shared experience you’ll remember.
AN EVENT TAILORED TO YOUR TEAM
Whether you're a small startup, a creative agency or a team of a larger company
- our Christmas events are designed for groups of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to larger teams of up to 30 participants. Each event can be adapted to your needs.
* No pottery experience required. Just bring your team (and maybe a festive sweater) - we’ll guide you through everything you need.
WHAT CHRISTMAS AT CHAMOTTE LOOKS LIKE

Discover the playful side of clay in our Sculpt & Scrape workshop. Starting with a simple lump of clay, your team will shape small pieces (like mugs, plates or vases) using only your hands. You’ll experiment with carving, scratching and decorating, exploring pottery techniques called Sgraffito and Kurinuki. The laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to unwind and get creative together - perfect for sharing mulled wine and a bit of Christmas spirit.

In this workshop, your team will create a cup collection while exploring the pottery technique of slip casting. You’ll pour liquid clay into plaster molds to create two identical cups, then finish two additional pre-made cups with glazes and underglazes - adding your own colors and finishes. A fun and lighthearted way to try something new together and bring a handmade touch to the festive season.

HANDBUILDING
A SCULPTURAL VASE

For teams looking for a more focused and intensive experience, we recommend our Make a Vase workshop. Together, you’ll dive into the art of handbuilding and create a single, significant piece such as a vase or sculpture. The pace is calm and concentrated, yet still social: everyone works side by side, sharing the process, the challenges and the satisfaction of shaping something truly substantial - a mindful break from the holiday rush, filled with warmth and creativity.
