Eastnor Pottery and The Flying Potter - Pottery Experiences for families, groups and individuals
Dont know how we did it but we somehow manged to make, fire and glaze these rather tasty flower vases inside 10 days!
A bride and groom who were tying the knot in the Castle wanted to gift their guests something special and unique to Eastnor. (I think we ticked all the boxes here!)
Before they could take them away, the vases were filled with beautiful blooms supplied by Oops a Daisy and displayed in the guest’s bedrooms.
Here’s the wonderful terracotta outcome of a short series of workshops held at the newly renovated Masters House in the market town of Ledbury Herefordshire.
Sarah and Lottie spent three consecutive Saturdays earlier this year working with families to mark the opening of the Masters House after the renovation.
The art work will be installed in the flowerbeds outside the building with plants and herbs growing up and around the structures.
We’ve had a really busy and productive first half of the Summer term working with Primary Schools and Early years settings across the West Midlands. So, in recognition of the diversity of ceramic outcome, we’ve undertaken to publish a photo every other day for the month of June.
To kick us off, here’s a fabulous fired and mounted oak tree made by the talented Nursery School children at Ledbury Primary School.
Young potter’s aged 4yrs and up are invited to Eastnor Pottery on Wednesday 27th May 2015 to make a Father’s Day gift on the potter’s wheel.
