Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Bride to be Jenny and friends, photographed here outside the pottery entrance. The girls took advantage of our 3 hour potter’s wheel session to mark the occasion. We were able to provide the 8 hen’s with a potter’s wheel each, and they spent the time learning to throw shapes. Although they all insisted none of them had done any before the results were fantastic.

Some of the creations from our Easter holiday children’s workshops, freshly made, coloured and slowly drying out. Our next children’s workshop is ‘Spider in the Bath’, and each young potter will get the opportunity to have a go on the potter’s wheel. Please e-mail admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk or telephone on 01531 633886 to reserve your place.
I’m very fortunate to work at Westfield Special School in Leominster, four times a year. This week I had the pleasure of helping Kingfisher class to produce a stack of terracotta garden ornaments. The snail plaques, ladybird dibbers, and flower pots will be sold at an event after Easter to raise funds for their annual residential trip to Dartmoor. Please take a look at the school’s wonderful website, which includes a couple of past pottery projects: http://www.westfield.hereford.sch.uk/EY_PAGE.asp?GRID=8&PAGE;_ID=73
