New use for sound pots

Pottery made by ceramic artist Jon WilliamsPottery vases by Jon Williams at The Verzon Hotel LedburyThe Verzon Hotel near Ledbury purchased a selection of my musical pots to use as centre pieces on the restaurant tables. The Verzon is committed to using local suppliers, whether thats culinary ingredients or pots for the table.

I think the vessels look really effective planted up and the colours really complement the existing decor. Good work guys!

Early Years Commission

hay balls at Craftplay Bilston wolverhampton Annemarie, Corrie and myself had the opportunity the other day to try out some prototypes with the Nursery children from Loxdale Primary School.

Annemarie presented the children, staff, parents and volunteers with these rather lovely hayballs as well as the chance to make lengths of hay rope.

Corrie had been busy in her studio making a set of exquisite wooden tools and combes for the children to explore in the sand.

The session was part of the brilliant and ongoing Happy Museums project exploring Art Galleries & Museums and well being. We three artists have been working with Craftplay at Bilston Craft Gallery in Wolverhampton.

Happy Museum commission for Early YearsCeramic play things and clay stamps for the Under 5’s developed as part of my involvement in the inspirational Happy Museums project facilitated by Craftplay and Craftspace at Bilston Craft Gallery in Wolverhampton. These prototype pieces are currently being road tested and put through their paces by the children, staff and parents at Loxdale Primary School. Can’t wait to hear their verdict!

Eastnor Pottery ‘office party’

Potter's christmas party at Eastnor PotteryWe rounded the year off in creative fashion here at EP with a visit from Forest School Andy. The outside learning expert showed us how to make five or six willow items woven from a bundle of withies. We made stars, fish, coasters and 3d sculptures all in an afternoon. Brilliant fun and really beneficial to be reminded of what it feels like to learn a new skill.
