Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
4.30 Monday morning in the Big Chill, dismantling the tent and packing up the wheels. 9.30 am, setting up stall across the road in the Castle grounds, ready to deliver five days of workshops for their summer visitors.
Phew!
Janee, the chief organiser of the Body & Soul area said she had never done any potting on the wheel before: pull the other one Janee!
It’s a bit like riding a bicycle, making pots on the wheel – a very difficult skill to un-learn! Ken demonstrated this beautifully. He hadn’t done any throwing since childhood, but was able to recall the technique instantly. He threw some amazing shapes and really looked the part too!
This was my first group of participants on the Saturday! The girls each made two pots in the allotted half hour no problem or wobbles – genuine natural talent!
Friday For the third year running we’ve supplied clay workshops at the Big Chill. This year we were in the Body & Soul area again, inviting Big Chiller’s to indulge in a bit of potter’s wheel therapy.
Lottie (pictured here) proved to be a valuable and enthusiastic secretary, taking bookings and looking after clients.
