We were joined by baby Rosa and her lovely family on Sunday to make a commemorative pot to celebrate her birth. Once the coil pot had been coiled, everybody made colourful, clay roses ‘squidged’ onto the surface of the pot. Great fun and once it’s been fired and glazed, a lovely keepsake for Rosa.

Wonderful Washwood
In an attempt to settle the new intake and their families into their first few days of organised education, Washwood Heath Nursery School in Birmingham provide a host of creative activities for parents to take part in whilst their offspring spend their first few hours in the classroom.
This system works remarkably well, not only in relieving parents anxiety by occupying their minds with things other than their child, but annualy revealing creative skills and artistic talents.
Participation is always very good, although we were greatly encouraged by the number of dads who got involved with the clay this year. Dads, mums & grandparents made press molded plates and pots on the potter’s wheel.
Pottery to the Max!
Max, his school friends and family celebrated his 5th birthday at Eastnor Pottery on Saturday. The gang opted for our ‘colourful critters’ party option making and painting animals and beasties. Pictured here Max (right) with Uncle Joe and thier owl & elephant combo (there should be a poem?!)
If you would like to book a birthday party at the Pottery then please take a look at our dedicated pottery birthday page or tel 01531 633886 to check availability.
