Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Terribly sad that the 2015 Mudrunner Classic held in October was likely to be the last Mudrunner event held in Eastnor. Team Eastnor Pottery have taken part in the race nearly as long as we’ve been making the clay medals presented to those who actually make it to the finish line. We’ll be very sad to see it go and must congratulate Mudrunner organisers D3, on the magnificent job of facilitating the event over the past six years. #sad
Our regular children’s workshops in October half term were a very autumnal affair with youngsters from around the three counties making clay squirrels, acorns and oak leaves.
All participants took a turn on the potter’s wheel as well as experiencing other making techniques.
Our next holiday workshops take place 17th Feb 2016 in half term. For more details and to reserve a place please contact the Pottery Tel: 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk

We had so much fun with this group of medical professionals who booked the Pottery one Saturday evening for a birthday celebration.
The group consisted of surgeons and doctors who had been friends since medical school. Everybody converged on Eastnor from the far flung corners of the UK. Some travelling all day to make their pottery.
The party of 18 booked our 1.5hr shared potter’s wheel offer and were able to produce two or three pots each before the close.
We’ll fire and glaze their creations ready for collection from the Pottery in a months time.
The BBC & Crafts Council have joined forces to promote a hand’s on pottery event to celebrate the airing of The Great Pottery Throw Down currently being shown on BBC2 9.00pm on a Tuesday evening.
No less than 50 venues across the Country, are offering FREE pottery workshops on the 4th, 5th and 6th December 2015.
We are delighted to be taking part and on the 4th & 5th Dec will be inviting members of the public to make a complimentary clay pot on the potter’s wheel.
If you fancy tackling a lump of spinning mud or have always yearned to have a go then please contact the Pottery to reserve a place. Tel 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk
The aspiring potter on the right purchased an Eastnor Pottery Gift Voucher as a surprise birthday present for her friend. Once date and time had been booked in advance, the girls spent an enjoyable morning each making a pot on the Potter’s Wheel. They also took the opportunity to paint their marvellous creations. A birthday to remember and we look forward to seeing them again soon.
