Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Regular visitors to this blog may have come across our most experienced and longtime pottery participant Gillian. V- proud of her latest ceramic creations, (and quite rightly so – you should see the lid fit!) she’s posted a couple of comments on her blog:

Had the privilege to deliver a couple of day’s worth of clay workshops in the idyllic grounds of The Old Rectory in Quenington. I’m exhibiting a couple of pieces in the Fresh Air Sculpture show and was contracted to deliver a few hands-on potter’s wheel sessions for a number of groups with special educational needs who were visiting the show. I had great fun working with the students from National Star College – Dom interpreted the pot throwing bit very literally! I’ve added a few pics taken by lecturer and ceramic artist Sam who was on call with a very nice camera and flair for composition.
I spy a couple of crafty cherries in this bowl of strawberries & cream! One of the final ½ term kids workshop pieces to be collected from the Pottery. The next children’s sessions take place 25 & 26 July and have a beach hut theme. To find out more please email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk
Having helped Yr6 at Broadlands Primary School construct their mud sofa, I returned a few days later to make some terracotta creations to embellish the mud sculpture. Working in pairs the children created 15 fantastical figures – each partner making a head or tail section. I then transported them back to the studio for the scratch & slip treatment. I took a few photos once the body parts had been unified.
Lovely textures and colours in the Pottery Garden. Go here for a tour of the grounds!
