Donna’s pottery surprise

donna and friends celebrate her birthday by making pottery at eastnor pottery herefordshireEverybody say CHEESE!

Best friend Liz arranged a surprise potter’s wheel workshopfor Donna’s birthday and judging by her reaction as she entered the studio, probably one of the best kept secrets this side of Milton Keynes – she was flabbergasted and quite overcome – brilliant stuff!

The girls and their respective husbands spent the day on the potter’s wheels making some pretty amazing pots. I was quietly confident of the potential quality when they revealed their occupations: x2 graphic designers and x2 builders! Creatives and those who have an understanding of materials (bakers, builders, artisans) generally excel themselves. Donna, Liz, Nick and Richard certainly didn’t disappoint!
