Happy Valentines Day!

Did you buy your loved one a potter’s wheel experience for Valentines?

There’s nothing quite like sharing the delights of  throwing a pot on the potter’s wheel with your soul mate…so much fun too as clearly demonstrated by Alex and her fella!

We were hired by Turning Point Herefordshire to share the immeasurable benefits of working with clay with their staff as part of their annual team day celebrations.

Turning Point are a UK social enterprise providing support with drug and alcohol, mental health, learning disability and autism, employment, and sexual health.

We worked with x40 participants, each person hand modelling a clay tile based upon their individual roles with-in the organisation. Once all the tiles have been fired, glazed and mounted on boards, the work will be installed at Turning Point’s offices in Hereford – forming a gigantic oak tree panel and a permanent reminder of the power of collaboration!

“just wanted to say a big thank you for last week. The team loved the pottery and everyone seemed to get stuck in, which was great. Really looking forward to seeing the final piece.” Turning-Point UK
If you would like the Flying Potter to visit you, anywhere in the UK…or if you and your team fancy an away day in rural Herefordshire, please take a look at our Away Day and Team Building pages.

snow white having lots of fun making a pot on the potter's wheel at eastnor potteryWe entertained some very special guests last weekend.

Snow White (aka Jenna) and her dwarfs descended on Eastnor Pottery for a morning of potter’s wheel, hen party malarkey.

Once long white beards had been carefully set aside, the girls took turns to make pots on the potter’s wheels. They produced some expertly crafted shapes and had a thoroughly good time.

Going to work has never been so much fun!

Thank you Jenna, Carol, Lucy, Kate and Samantha for being such great sports and choosing Eastnor Pottery.

If we had a penny… lol!

It’s a rarity participants on our Introduction to the Potter’s Wheel go to the trouble of rehearsing their GHOST moment. These two budding thespians were part of a staff Christmas party who chose to do pottery as their Yuletide celebration here at Eastnor Pottery & The Flying Potter. Great fun!

Probably cutting it fine for this year, but if you’re planning a staff event in 2022 please consider pottery as your creative, fun and unique activity.
