Things to do in 1/2 term…
…get yourself along to our brilliant children’s pottery workshop sessions!
Strawberries and Cream provide the theme for the 1.5hr sessions of creativity and fun.
Each child will learn how to make a bowl on the potter’s wheel – a fantastic
experience if ever there was one. The youngsters will then be encouraged to fill
their pot with modelled strawberries and other summer fruit – all topped off
with a dollop of white slip to complete the effect.
The 1.5 hr workshop sessions are designed for two age groups – 4-8yrs on Wed 29th and 9-12yrs on Thurs 30th May (although younger or older siblings will never be turned away!) Places cost £15 a head with a 10% discount for three or more places booked. Places can only be reserved by telephoning 01531 633886 or email admin@eastnorpottery.co.uk
First School butterflies
Have been working with Church Lench First School in Worcestershire helping them prepare work for the upcoming Voices & Visions exhibition at Worcester Cathedral.
The children each made a pottery butterfly and once they’ve been previewed in the Cloisters (24th May – 16th June) they will be installed back in School in their brand new, bright and airy conservatory extension.
The tiles will look smashing, randomly arranged on the strip of wall underneath the generous sky lights.
Elliot’s birthday
If we were ever to introduce a loyalty card we’d have to present one to Elliot’s and Louisa’s families! Cant seem to keep them away from the delights of working with clay.
This time the gang celebrated Elliot’s birthday with an intimate gathering of family and friends. They made and painted colourful pinch pot creatures nestled inside coil pot homes.
Details of our children’s birthday party workshops.
Eliza’s pot
Eliza has always loved making things and has a fine collection of models and figures she has fashioned from coloured modelling clay. In the Easter holidays mum booked her in for a go on the potter’s wheel which she took to like a duck to water.
