Potter’s wheel workshop

December Potter's Wheel Workshop at Eastnor PotteryThe final pot throwing workshop of 2011 presented a lovely mix of experenced and first time participants.

A couple of friends who had met on an evening pottery class in London used the oportunity to fine tune their technique – both ladies making some significant pieces. Their fellow makers, a mother and daughter combo, hadn’t ever been on the potter’s wheel before but soon got to grips with the rudiments.

At the end of the day we encourage particpants to select their favourite pieces for firing. Once the wheat had been separated from the chaf the remaining vessels looked magnificent and testiment to a productive and rewarding session.

We’ve selected a few of the best photos and made an album on facebook.

Check out the calender tab at the top of our website for dates and details of all our regular throwing workshops due to take place in 2012.

Office pottery party

Rather Inventive Workshop at Eastnor PotteryOk, it’s not the first thing that springs to mind when you think ‘Christmas office party’ but the forward thinking folk at ratherinventive joined us at the studio for two hours of potter’s wheel fun.

The festive creativity was enchanced by a couple bottles of bubbly – no wobbly pots here though, as the team took to the potter’s wheel like ducks to water.

Check out the photos from the session.

The group produced some tidy looking pots which we’ll fire, glaze and make available for collection early in the new year.

If you would like a creative and unique alternative to your end of year christmas celebration then please contact the Pottery. admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk Tel: 01531 633886
