Creative Christmas Workshop for Older Kids | The Christmas Cottage
🏠 A Creative Christmas Workshop for Older Kids and Teens (Festive art fun for creative minds aged 9–15 at Colourful Wine)
Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at Colourful Wine Art Café & Bar with our Creative Christmas Workshop: The Christmas Cottage — a joyful creative experience designed for ages 9–15.
Held on Saturday 6 December and Saturday 13 December 2025, this special event invites young artists to decorate and personalise their very own pre-built wooden Christmas cottage. With festive paints, glittering snow, and creative details, each cottage becomes a one-of-a-kind holiday masterpiece.
It’s more than an art class — it’s a festive experience filled with laughter, music, and a little bit of Christmas magic. And yes, Santa will be working right here in the studio throughout December, greeting children and families with warmth and cheer.

🎨 What We’ll Create at This Creative Christmas Workshop
Each participant will receive a pre-built wooden cottage ready to be painted, decorated, and transformed into a magical Christmas keepsake.
Our creative hosts will guide them through festive painting techniques, glitter textures, and colour combinations — while encouraging independence and imagination. From snowy rooftops to candy-coloured doors, each child’s cottage becomes an artistic expression of their holiday spirit.
“It’s such a joy watching older kids slow down, get creative, and lose themselves in the magic of Christmas art.”
– Dominique, Colourful Wine
🎅 Santa at the Studio — All December Long!
This year, Santa isn’t just dropping by — he’s part of the team!
Santa will be working in the studio all through December, greeting families, checking on creative progress, and handing out small festive treats.
During the workshop, Santa will wander through the studio to admire everyone’s cottages, take photos, and share a laugh or two.
🎁 “We wanted to make this year’s Christmas season truly special. Having Santa in the studio means every visit feels like a page out of a storybook.” – Dominique
