Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Monday at the Castle and families got to make the most horrible, foul and disgusting clay models….and participants certainly didn’t disappoint!
We used the unsavoury creations to decorate a giant fruit bowl. This exquisitely modeled hooter had all the accessories, warts & all!
Images from Monday’s pottery fun are featured here.
Exhausted workshop facilitator Elena is ‘wheeled away’ following her marathon session at Herefordshire Nature Trust!
Elena and Robbie helped, “it felt like thousands” of youngsters make a giant terracotta caterpillar to celebrate the Trust’s 50th anniversary. Thanks once again for their enthusiasm and dedication to the cause.

On Sunday, theatre company Illyriastaged an open air performance of Roald Dahl’s The Twits at Eastnor Castle. Tales of wriggly spaghetti made from real worms got me thinking about disgusting dishes and foul foods – perfect inspiration for x5 days of pottery workshops at the Castle.
Let’s make a feast fit for Mr & Mrs Twit. Plates of wasps, snails and spiders…a collaborative bowl of rotten fruit….rancid cakes and smelly sardines – endless possibilities.
Here are photos from Sunday.
Herefordshire Housing photographer Gerry found himself on the other end of the lens last week. Nice pot though Gerry – a case of DO give up the day job me thinks!
Spent a great couple of days working with residents making Olympic inspired clay work.
I’ve put a couple of photo’s up on face book
Here’s Gerry’s pictures.
Quick reminder to all you lovely people who took part in our Olympic Gold children’s workshops. All the trophies are out of the kiln and look absolutely fabulous and can be collected from the Pottery on Tuesday 14 & Friday 17 Aug. 11am-5pm.
