Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Joseph and friends celebrated his 7th birthday party at Eastnor Pottery by creating ‘Colourful Critters’ – hand modelled animals of their choice. The children painted their creations there and then with coloured slip.
At the beginning of August, Jon and work experience student Sam spent a week in Eastnor Castle’s grounds working with visitors. The outcome; five terracotta planters encrusted with wonderfully ugly gargoyles and masks.
The majority of Eastnor Pottery’s educational work is concerned with process rather than product – the emphasis on the journey rather than the destination. However, fired ceramic is an incredibly durable material and Jon, Sarah and Gemma are often called upon to enable a finished fired outcome.
The sense of shared and personal pride gleaned from a successfully executed and installed work of art is a powerful thing. Take a look at this fabulous wall clock produced by Jon, the staff, and children at James Brindley School in Birmingham.
Kingsland Primary School in Herefordshire is a Church of England establishment with a strong Christian ethos at the heart of it’s teaching and pastoral care. Love, thankfulness and peace are just three of eleven core values taught to the children.
One of our youngest participants grapples with the grey stuff!
Jon was back at the fabulous St Thomas Children’s Centre in Birmingham, working with a new parent group. Judging by the expression we reckon this young potter thoroughly enjoyed making his first 
pot.
