Creative couples & bucket lists

Couples enjoy creative clay potter's wheel activityWe are seeing an increasing number of couples taking advantage of our drop-in pottery workshops to fulfill an ambition to make a pot on the potter’s wheel.

For just £10 (make & take away) you can experience the delights of spinning mud and forming a bowl or mug in the creative environment of the artists studio.

Here’s how much some of our guests have enjoyed their Eastnor Pottery experience.

Sunrise over Bradford

Jon the potter from Eastnor Pottery travelled to Bradford to work with children at Allerton Primary schoolSlightly out of my jurisdiction I know, but I spent three very busy days at the two form entry Allerton Primary School in West Yorkshire. I got to work with all of the 400 or so pupils making a variety of collaborative and individual works. Once all the creative offerings have been fired, I’ll take a few photos and publish them right here on this blog.

Made a couple of ‘figure-head’ terracotta sculptures with the young artists at LPS Nursery in the last session before the Christmas holidays.

The Nursery children are sometimes split into two groups for communal activities such as story time and snack – Kipper the dog and Elmer the Elephant representing each group.

I’ll be back at the school in January to carry on the clay/language project with the afternoon children and their parents. Looking forward to it!

Bishop’s Cleeve Primary School Monsters!

Pottery monster made by pupil at Bishops Cleeve Primary SchoolRest assured they certainly were not!

Had a lovely morning working with Year 3 last week helping them to make clay monsters.

The School declares it’s the only Primary School In Gloucestershire with a dedicated Arts Development Officer and the results are clear to see if you take a tour of the building. The corridors and halls are festooned with some pretty amazing artworks either facilitated or organised by Yr6 Teacher and Arts specialist Mrs Parkes. It’s a joy to behold and I always look forward to my visits.
