Three steps, no booking
Swap another box of chocolates for an afternoon of making something. Art Play gift vouchers are digital and can be bought for any amount, and our workshops make it easy to give a present you made yourself: a hand-poured candle, a silver ring or a painted bauble for the tree.
Creative Christmas gift ideas
1. Gift vouchers: digital, sent by email and available for any amount.
2. Bauble painting: paint your own Christmas baubles at Shoreditch or Chelsea, from £16.
3. Candle making: pour a scented candle to keep or give. 1.5 hours, £50.
4. Silver ring making: make a sterling silver ring from scratch. Two hours, £60, ages 16+.
5. For a group: private wreath making with a welcome drink, for 8 to 50 guests at £70 per person.
A handmade present lands differently. Book a workshop, make the gift yourself and give something nobody else will. Materials are included in every workshop, and no experience is needed.

Christmas gift experiences in London
Experience gifts are easy to buy late and easy to enjoy in January, when everyone needs something to look forward to. An Art Play voucher can be put towards a visit to our Shoreditch or Chelsea studio, where workshops range from painting and pottery to candles, terrariums and jewellery, and beginners are welcome.
Make your own Christmas presents
Prefer to give something handmade? Spend an afternoon at a workshop and leave with the gift sorted. Terrariums go home with you on the day and candles are ready to collect once they've set, about two hours later. Mosaics are grouted for you and ready to collect around two weeks after the class, so book those early.
Secret Santa and team gifts
For office gifting, a shared experience often beats a dozen separate presents. Private Christmas workshops such as wreath making and Santa Life Drawing take 8 to 50 guests, and both studios can be hired for a full Christmas party.
