Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
These guys were on an extended honeymoon when they recently attended one of our potter’s wheel weekend workshops. They quite literally stepped off a plane, into the Pottery and onto the potter’s wheels.
The pair spent a brilliant day with seven other potter’s wheel newbies making loads of terracotta pots, plates and bowls.
The newly weds even found the energy to re-enact ‘that scene’ from ‘that movie’ – I think you know the one! 
Love the sgraffito work on these bowls made by one of our regular customers.
Rachel attended one of our one day potter’s wheel workshops and as a result, qualified for our £10 an hour, semi-supervised studio rental. So far she’s been back three or four times perfecting her throwing technique and creating some stunning surface decoration.
I don’t think readers will be too surprised to learn that she’s an artist and has an online presence: OldAshArt
Hats off to all the lovely families, couples and individuals who took a creative journey in clay with us over the Easter break. We salute your creativity and flair for the mucky stuff!
Good work on the mugs, plates, dragons, owls, elephants, cats, dogs, ducks, fruits, gnomes and pretty much the blooming kitchen sink!
At the beginning of April we took part in a national clay event organised by The Crafts Council and BBC Get Creative.
Hey Clay! aspired to give people the opportunity to get creative with clay at free pottery workshops in venues all over the UK. The event ran from Friday 7 – Sunday 9 April 2017, and we welcomed near on 100 participants to our studio – all of them making a pot on the potter’s wheel.
We created a photo album of each day:
Saturday 25th March 2017 will be remembered as one of the most diverse and busy days we’ve ever had here at Eastnor Pottery and the Flying Potter.
We facilitated x2 children’s birthday parties, a pottery hen party for 18 girls and an endless stream of couples and family drop-in participants.
Phew!
More photographic evidence here.
