A pheasant week at Eastnor Castle

Castle visitors indulge in some collaborative clay fun in the Castle Courtyard with the Flying PotterWe love working at Eastnor Castle, offering visitors the chance to collaborate on significant clay sculptures.

In the past we’ve made knights, a castle, a dragon and even an Estate inspired totem pole.

This year, well over 1000 visitors help make x5 amazing terracotta pheasants. The birds have been constructed and are waiting to be fired. As soon as the fowl are out of the kilns we’ll photograph them and post the pics online. We’ll also exhibit them in the Dry Cleaners window in Ledbury probably around October time.

Spent x4 sunny days working with hundreds of children and families making collaborative terracotta owls. The results of which will be fired and displayed online and in the Dry Cleaners window in Ledbury high street sometime in October. In the meantime please take a look at all the clay fun photos on our FB page. We’ve created an album for each day – which day did you go?
