Creative Breaks at the Courtyard

jon the potter invited visitors to make a pot on the potters wheel at the creative breaks stand at herefords contemporary craft fair nov 2012Every November Creative Breaks(the association of Herefordshire based makers and artists offering courses and workshops) have a presence at the Hereford Contemporary Craft Fair. The event takes place at The Courtyard Theatre in Hereford and CB get to market their services to a discerning public by demonstrating their creative talents in the Theatre foyer….and hopefully sell a few workshop vouchers as Christmas presents! 

A rota is drawn up and members demonstrate their art for a morning or afternoon.

I was there on Sunday morning with my potter’s wheel inviting visitors to sample the delights of making a pot on the wheel. I had a steady stream of takers and the photos can be viewed on our facebook page.

    How clever. I’ve alwyas wanted to try pottery making and should look for a class to take. It does sound very relaxing (once you know what you’re doing!)

      Thanks Mandy and yes, you’re absolutely right, it is extremely relaxing, therapeutic and the best bit, very achievable. Are you interested in having a go as we do great taster sessions at just £10 a throw?
