Description
A Christmas Grounded Gathering with Paint Your Piece, Gin, & Charcuterie Boards.
Grounded Gathering's were created for people who want a reason to come together. Hosted by Grounded By Designs in collaboration with MOA & co, this relaxed afternoon is designed to be shared. Book a piece, invite the people you want to spend it with, and enjoy time creating, eating, sipping and catching up around a table.
December fills up fast. This is a gentle pause in the middle of it, whether you’re gathering your friends for an early Christmas celebration, bringing your team together for an end of year get-together, making a gift for someone you love, or simply setting aside time to catch up while your hands are busy.
Paint Your Piece is a relaxed, self-directed ceramic painting experience. Choose from the selection of handmade, bisque-fired ceramic pieces such as ornament tags, cups, bowls or plates and decorate it in your own way using underglaze paints, brushes and tools. No experience is needed, just a love of getting creative. A hand painted piece makes a gift that is truly one of a kind.
Your painted piece will be clear-glazed and fired, ready for collection before December 20, offering a functional reminder of the time spent together.
Alongside Grounded By Designs, MOA & co plays a key role in each event, offering their warm, creative space and the option to pre-purchase delicious charcuterie boards to enjoy during your session. Thoughtfully prepared using seasonal ingredients, these boards are designed to be shared and enjoyed slowly while you paint.
Each Grounded Gathering is seasonally shaped, with subtle shifts in mood, colour and energy across the year. This one carries the warmth of the festive season, while the heart of the experience stays the same: making by hand, sharing space and enjoying the simple pleasure of being together.
Your ticket includes a bisque-fired ceramic piece to paint and decorate, use of underglaze paints, brushes and tools, clear glaze, and firing plus tasters. Pre-book your charcuterie board and dessert board to enjoy on the day or a posy ready to gift when you arrive.
