šŸŽ… What the Shuck? It's Santa!

Oyster Santa Sculpting Workshop

Who says Santa has to come from the North Pole? Around here, he comes from an OYSTER SHELL! šŸ¦ŖšŸŽ„

Get ready to shuck things up this holiday season with one of our most whimsical coastal Christmas workshops!

Join us at Hammer & Stain Crystal Coast for a creative, hands-on experience where you'll transform an ordinary oyster shell into a charming, one-of-a-kind Santa Claus using sculpting clay, a little paint, and plenty of personality!

These aren't your ordinary painted oyster shells. You'll actually sculpt Santa's face, beard, hat, and features with clay, turning a natural oyster shell into a dimensional piece of holiday art.

šŸŽØ What You'll Experience

  • Sculpt Your Santa: Start with a real oyster shell as your base and use clay to build Santa's face, beard, nose, hat, and other features.

  • Give Him Personality: Make your Santa jolly, whimsical, traditional, or a little quirky! Each creation will be uniquely yours.

  • Bake & Cool: We'll bake your sculpted Santa to cure the clay, then allow him to cool before painting.

  • Bring Him to Life: Add color, character, and finishing touches with paint to create your own coastal Christmas keepsake.

šŸŽ… BEGINNER FRIENDLY – No Experience Needed!

Never worked with sculpting clay before? No problem!

This workshop is designed for beginners and creative enthusiasts alike. We'll guide you through the sculpting and painting process, sharing helpful tips and techniques along the way.

You don't have to be an artist to create an adorable Oyster Santa. In fact, some of the most charming Santas are the ones with a little extra character!

🦪 What's Included?

  • Oyster shell base

  • Sculpting clay and tools

  • Baking and curing during the workshop

  • Paints and finishing supplies

  • Step-by-step guidance

  • A one-of-a-kind Oyster Santa created by YOU!

šŸŽ„ A Little Coastal Christmas Magic

Whether you're adding to your holiday decorations, making a handmade gift, or just looking for a festive experience with friends, this workshop is a fun way to celebrate the season.

And remember, no two oyster shells are alike, so no two Santas will be either!

Guest Policy

Unless otherwise specified in the workshop description, unregistered guests are not permitted to attend any workshop, whether it is a public workshop or private party. Bringing an unregistered guest will result in the guest being asked to leave as this interferes with the attention and experience of our registered makers. Makers can inquire about purchasing a guest seat but the request will be subject to approval.


By completing registration you are agreeing to these terms.

Wood

If your project uses or is made of wood, this policy applies. This is a natural wood workshop, so your sign will have random cracks, chips, knots and other natural blemishes that give it character! Some peeling may occur. We will do our very best to minimize disturbances to the words and make everything look intentional, but due to the nature of the workshop we can make no guarantees. Please keep in mind, no sign is absolutely perfect, as it is hand crafted, but it will certainly be wall worthy!
