Christmas at Eastnor Pottery

Daisy’s pottery party
Most of our children’s pottery birthday parties take place here at Eastnor Pottery HQ. Not so on Daisy’s big day!
Mum & Dad hired out the local village hall and filled it with ‘hundreds’ (?) of seven somethings, all keen to try their hand at a bit of clay work.
We all had a fabulous afternoon with maximum focus and care lavished upon the pottery critters. There was even time (and hall space) once the clay had been safely stored, to run off some of that pent-up, boundless 7yr old energy. A proper good balance of concentrated making and physical exuberance.
Loving the personalised aprons and tied dyed bunting. Well done Mum!

Tree of life is up
At the begining of October I worked with students and staff at Birmingham University’s Medical School to produce a pottery tree of life….and here it is nicely installed in the multi-faith prayer room.

Happy Craftplay
Taking part in a fantastic project at Bilston Craft Gallery in Wovehampton.
Here’s the blurb from the ‘Happy Museums’ blog:
WAVE and Craftspace will work together at Bilston Craft Gallery to deliver a programme of creative engagement sessions with early years’ children and their carers working with craft makers to explore creative play and the natural environment – investigating the part craft plays in developing a sustainable future. By taking the world around us as a teacher and actively interacting with it we seek to inspire children with an appreciation of the environment and its systems, and enrich their self-belief through creating things themselves by hand. There is an acute need to support basic wellbeing in the area immediately around Bilston Craft Gallery which has high concentrations of children living in poverty and high levels of deprivation. The sessions will provide a rich, inspiring and fun learning environment where curiosity, confidence and social development can be nurtured.
Following on from the hands-on sessions with the children, myself and the other two artists Annemarie O’Sullivan & Corrie Williamson will produce a commission to be used as an early learning resource for Craftplay. Love the balance of engagement and personal making associated with this project.

Ladies who like to pot
During the week we have an ever increasing number of adult pottery ‘double acts’ through the door. Husbands and wives, mothers and daughters and good friends, all keen to sample the delights of the potter’s wheel.
Rebecca (featured on the wheel) purchased a ‘throw a pot’ experience for her Mum as a birthday surprise.
If you would like to book a private, drop-in pottery session please email: admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk.

The Christmas owl & rabbit
I worked with approx. 80 youngsters in one evening last week. Two groups in two hours made up of Rainbows, Beavers, Cubs & Brownies.
The clay fun occured in Crowle Village Hall in Worcestershire and the children made a wonderfull array of pinch-pot creations.
Loving the ‘Christmas Owl’ and white rabbit.
