Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
What better way to spend time with friends than chilling and making pottery in Herefordshire?
These London ladies took a weekend break in the countryside earlier this year and spent a creative and relaxing Friday afternoon with us.
They conquered the wheel then spent a couple of hours chatting and carefully decorating their freshly thrown masterpieces…And don’t they look amazing!? And the pots look pretty cool too! 
Well done you three!
We received a lovely book this Christmas – ‘A poem for every day’ edited by Allie Esiri.
365 poems, ancient, traditional and contemporary prose designed to start the day on a contemplative and inspiring note. Sarah and myself are pleased to report we have managed to ‘keep up’ and the readings have become an important part of our morning tea drinking ritual.
This poem by Jan Dean is particularly poignant for those wishing to work with clay! More literally for customers who struggle with the concept of painting their freshly thrown pot:
This has to be one of our favourite photos of recent times 
Jon and his family visited the Pottery to celebrate his 40th birthday in creative style. Everybody took a turn on the wheel to make a pot and then paint it in a truly individual manner.
When it came to the obligatory team photo at the end of the session, Jon’s son Harry, quick as a flash, scooped mum’s iphone to photograph Jon the Potter photographing the family group. Love the movement as M&D lunge across the table to rescue the tech!
Meet Nicola who visited the Pottery back in the Autumn to experience our ‘Introduction to the potter’s wheel’ with her mum. As well as being an exceptional potter, she also does this:
We wish Nicola all the best with her endeavours on and off the potter’s wheel!
Hen party season appears to start earlier and earlier here at Eastnor Pottery & The Flying Potter. No sooner had the tinsel been stowed, Helen and her band of merry hens descended on the studio to make ceramic keepsakes and pottery artyfacts!
We love this boomerang of one of the party goers. She was immensely proud of her creation – and quite rightly so – we think its lovely!
Other members of the party made owls, penguins and pencil pots. Check out this little video of their creations on Instagram.
If you fancy making clay models to commemorate your hen do, then please take a look at our page dedicated to pottery hen party activities. Projects include the potter’s wheel and prices start at just £20.
