Hygge Holidays: The Hostess Gift (part 1 of an optional 3-part series)

  • The Arterie LLC 2219 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd, #105 Thousand Oaks, CA, 91362 United States (map)

Rooted in Scandinavian tradition, led by Danish ceramicist Lina Dion-Inglis, start your holiday season with intention. In this hand-building workshop, you’ll create a ceramic serving bowl or dish—the perfect holiday hostess gift or centerpiece for your own table.

We’ll slow down together, shape clay with care, and talk about how to bring hygge (coziness, connection, presence) into the sometimes-hectic holiday season. You’ll leave with clay on your hands, a smile on your face, and a handmade piece that will be kiln-fired and glazed, ready to become a thoughtful hosting gift or your own centerpiece for your holiday table. 


Instead of carrying the holidays like an overstuffed shopping bag—handles digging into your palms, seams ready to split—what if you could move through the season differently? What if the holidays weren’t something to survive, but something to create? Rooted in the Danish tradition of hygge—the art of cultivating warmth, joy, and togetherness—Lina has created these workshops as invitations to slow down, make with your hands, and bring intention and your heart into a time that so often slips into stress. You are invited to participate in one or all of these workshops. Each workshop includes clay, tools, instruction, bisque + glaze firings, and choice of glaze.
