Great to be back at King Edward IV Aston School for the annual Festival of Cultures – one of my workshop highlights of the calendar. During the day the students choose from a massive range of activities to participate in. Yoga, ballroom dancing and scrap sculpture to name just three. The event carries on into the evening with performances, family workshops and delicious food from around the globe. Man the curries are to die for! Looking forward to next year already.

Hot pots at Westfest
Phew wot a scorcha! Thank you to all the potter’s who dropped by the Eastnor Pottery stand at Westfest music festival in West Malvern a few weeks back. Although we were out of direct sun light, the marquee did little to quell the soaring temperatures.
These guys were our neighbours for the day, helping out on the Greenpeace stand. Being total Dr Who fans they were v-excited about our terracotta dalek.
Hot & happy potter’s can be seen here.
Birthday fun in the sun
Funny how things go! Like the buses thing, we haven’t hosted a kids pottery birthday party for ages and then all of a sudden 4 come along all at once. A few Saturday’s ago we hosted x2 7th birthday celebrations, back to back – and lovely events they were to, made all the more pleasurable for the fantastic sunny weather. Both parties were able to take full advantage of the Pottery garden and gazebo with more than one jug o’ pimms in evidence – I dunno, the youth of today!!

Washwood pottery Zsar
I’ve been working closely with Washwood Heath Nursery School in Birmingham for a number of years now delivering sessions with the children, parents and staff. For the majority of the sessions I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside Rifatt who has been picking up pottery tips and gaining clay confidence as the sessions roll by. I was totally blown away by the quality of pots made by a group of parents at a pottery workshop she had independently planned and delivered. Nice one Rifatt!
