Get Crafty This Festive Season at Habitat’s Dot Art Workshop - 15 November

If you’ve ever wanted to add a bit of personality to your Christmas gifts, the upcoming Dot Art Christmas Tree Ornaments and Gift Tags Workshop might be just the excuse to grab a paintbrush and get festive a little early.

Hosted by Habitat Potchefstroom, the session takes place on 15 November 2025, running from 08:00 to 13:00 at 10 Fleishack Street, Potchefstroom. It’s a five-hour dive into the world of dot painting, where participants will learn how to decorate a set of five unique wooden ornaments, with two of each design provided.

What to Expect

No art degree required, this one’s about creativity, colour, and a bit of Christmas spirit. The workshop focuses on the popular dotting technique, a method that uses layered paint dots to create intricate and eye-catching designs.

Each participant will receive all the materials needed, including:

• A dot art tool

• 25mm fibre brush

• 250ml Deco Podge sealant

• Four 50ml craft paints

• And a 10cm wooden test circle to practise before taking on the real thing.

Booking Details

At R300 per person, it’s a hands-on morning that promises both fun and something to hang on your Christmas tree later. Spots are limited, so it’s worth checking availability sooner rather than later.

• Bookings can be made directly through Habitat’s website

• For more information, call 018-294-5008

Because honestly, nothing says “I put thought into this” like a handmade ornament, especially when it comes with a story that starts with paint dots and ends with glitter on your elbows.
