pottery teambuilding event led by the flying potterGemma and myself worked with Blackclover Events to deliver a two hour teambuilding session for a corporate client. We worked with no less than 105 participants, all at the same time!

By the end of the evening the group had produced an army of clay super heros. Check out Wonder Woman and Bat Girl!

As well as the super hero clay fun, some of the group were able to sample the delights of making a pot on one of four potter’s wheels we’d installed for the evening.

participants collect their pots from the garden ready to work on them in the potteryLovely group at the weekend with a real mix of potter’s wheel experience. We’ve put a small selection of photos together on our Facebook page so please take a look.

A quick blast in the strong wind and bright sunshine on sunday morning, put pay to ‘soggy bottomed’ pots previously thrown on Saturday. This enabled participants to get straight on with turning, decorating and adding handles.

The next potter’s wheel workshop takes place on Sunday 2nd Oct. To check availability please call 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk

pottery by jon williams from his exhibition 'sensational clay' at the bilston craft galleryI spent yesterday and today collecting work from my exhibition ‘Sensational Clay’ at The Bilston Craft Gallery in Wolverhampton.

Saturday 3rd Sept was the final opportunity for visitors to experience the touchy, smelly and rattlin’ works of ceramic art.

I’ve been really pleased with visitor comments and a handfull of people took the time to blog about their experience of the show. Please take a look at what they had to say:
