Clay
Clay is a fantastic medium. It's a natural material, universally inclusive and reacts to the touch, no matter how slight the intervention. Everybody can do it - everybody achieves.
What we do
Remarkable clay and pottery experiences designed to explore and develop creativity in all ages and abilities.
Unable to visit us? The Flying Potter can deliver the Eastnor Pottery experience in a venue of your choice.
Who we are
Eastnor Pottery was established by ceramic artists Jon Williams and Sarah Monk in 1994.
The couple have a combined experience of over 40years working with adults, young people and children.

Potter’s wheel workshops

Fabulous themed 1.5 hr workshops take place every school holiday.
