Spent a lovely morning with the staff and children at Holme Lacy Primary School near Hereford.
Each pupil made a commemorative olympic torch and jubilee crown as well as taking a turn on the potter’s wheel.

Not only will participants learn new pottery techniques, they will also get to paint their wonderful creations with coloured slip.

Cant make these dates? Other sessions may be available – please contact the Pottery for details.
Magic moonbeams
Great moonbeams session at the Midlands Arts Centre on Tuesday. This was a FREE free flow, no booking required, session with parents and young children trying their hand at the potter’s wheel. Check out this beautiful series of photos taken by project manager Janette Bushall – prams, pots @ babies @ mac – nice!
Highlight for me was meeting the family of artists responsible for the amazing Playmakers interactive exhibition at MAC. If you have young children definitely one not to be missed.
School trip to Eastnor Pottery
All x60 yr5 children from Marlbrook Primary School, Hereford visited the Pottery on friday as a creative ‘Summer’ outing. We can accomodate 30 children at a time so we split the group in two with x30 children working in the studio and the other half braving the deluge and walking on the Malverns. At lunchtime the groups swapped over.
I’ve visited Marlbrook on several occasions over the years but this was the first time I’d worked with the school on home turf. The children at Marlbrook never fail to astound with their levels of concentration, creativity and enthusiasm. The group on Friday were no exception as I’m sure you’ll agree by viewing the photo album we’ve created.
