Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
What better way to celebrate your 50th Birthday than relaxing & making pots on the potter’s wheel with friends? There was even time for a ‘Ghost’ moment, lovingly supplied by Deb’s partner who made a round trip of 100 miles to surprise the birthday girl. Here are a few more photos from the birthday workshop last sunday
Did you know that on the 9th anniversary, wedded couples are supposed to confirm their devotion to each other via the gift of pottery? Instead of purchasing a ceramic item, why not make each other a crock? – just like these two who visited the studio a few weeks ago.
Lovely family group in on a recent Saturday consisting of mothers, cousins & siblings.
The gang get together once a year to sample an activity en masse and presented to the youngsters as a Christmas present; be it graffiti classes, recording a song or riding on segways. This year, the co-ordinating mums chose pottery.
One of the dads got roped in too. Once or twice we caught Doug having a sneaky lick of his clay! Apparently, saliva has fantastic clay bonding attributes – We think he just rather liked the taste! 
A few more photos here.
‘Hard Boiled!’ Wednesday 30th March 2016
As the Easter holiday approaches, we are delighted to announce details and theme for our egg-straordinary children’s workshop sessions.
‘Hard Boiled’ is a fun and creative opportunity to design and make an eggcup using a variety of pottery techniques.
The children get to sample a whole range of clay modelling skills in the production of their eggcups. They’ll be rolling, pinching and flattening the clay to produce an effect, and the best bit – every child will get to sample the delights of spinning mud by creating a pot on the potter’s wheel!
The masterpieces are then left to dry and fired, ready for collection from the Pottery a few weeks later.
The 1.5 hr workshop sessions are designed to suit two age groups, (4-8yrs at 11:30am and 9-12yrs at 2pm) although younger or older siblings will never be turned away from either session.
Places cost £15 per child (with a 10% discount for x3 or more places booked) and can only be reserved by telephoning 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk
Was Feb 1/2 term really two weeks ago!? We had so much fun working with aspiring potters of all ages and abilities. Here’s a link link to the rest of the photographic evidence and we think the featured Earth & Jupiter made by a young potter were pretty cool!
If you fancy trying pottery in the advancing Easter hols, then book your session now. Tel: 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk to reserve a family slot.
