Ticket Type

Come out for a Crafty Christmas afternoon with Matchstick Goods! Bring the family for an afternoon activity the whole group will enjoy. Make your ornaments for your own tree, or make them as one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones.

How it works:

  • Each ticket comes with 2 ornaments of your choice (we'll have several different shapes to choose from), all the glazes and supplies you’ll need, AND a cookie!
  • The event runs from 2:00 to 4:00. Drop in between 2:00 and 3:00 so you’ll have plenty of time to finish painting and decorating. When you arrive we’ll help you check in, find your supplies, and locate the cookie station!
  • Use our paint-on glazes to create whatever you like ! If you’d like to paint more than two ornaments, additional ornaments will be available for $15 each.
  • Paint at your own pace. When you’re done, let us know so that we can check over your ornaments and make sure they are ready for the kiln. Then, you’ll leave your creations with us. We will fire each one in our kilns, and then send you a notification as soon as they’re ready. It may take up to two weeks for your piece to be fired and ready for pickup.

These ornaments were designed and hand made by our student employees! Matchstick Goods offers fair-wage jobs to serve as a catalyst for personal growth and exploration. We provide a nurturing environment where youth can hone their skills in ceramics, collaborate with mentors, and cultivate their passions. By purchasing a ticket, you’ll also be supporting local youth in your community!

This event will take place inside of Embrace Church, located at 1015 N Limestone. There is parking available on the side of the church on N Broadway Park, and also some spots behind the church. You can enter through the side entrance on N Broadway Park- we’ll be there to let you in and show you to where the workshop is taking place. 

Consider wearing dark colors or clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Dark color clothing is able to hide most glaze stains!

Certainly! This event is a great fit for ages 4 and up. We ask that there be a parent or guardian present who is ready to help as needed for kids age 7 and below. 

Your ticket and order confirmation will be emailed to you after your purchase. Please reach out if you have any issues!

Tickets can be refunded two or more weeks before the event. Cancellations less than two weeks in advance will be non-refundable due to limited availability of seats, and the fact that each event is promoted and offered individually. Tickets can be transferred to a friend, or you can let us know you're looking for a replacement for your spot, and we will let you know if there is anyone on the waitlist.

Glaze it However you Want!

Use our glazes if you'd like, or ask us to for you: the choice is yours!

We were impressed by how well organized and prepared the workshop was. It was great that the potentially time-consuming and difficult parts were already prepared for us but there was still plenty that we did to feel that we had built our very own mug. It was our very first time with ceramic so the step-by-step instructions and hands-on help were very helpful.

We had so much fun and we can't wait to get our mugs!!!! The instructors explain step by step everything you need to do and which tools need to be used. They also go around making sure no one needs any help. I highly recommend them. The class was for beginner or expert. Something different and fun for most ages. The price was good too. What is even better is their mission in Lexington, Kentucky. We plan on doing more classes in the future!!!!

I love everything about Matchstick Goods....and now there is even more to love by attending one of their pottery making classes! My friends and I had a great girls night out making a mug and enjoying fellowship together.
