Eastnor Pottery co-directors Jon Williams and Sarah Monk are exhibiting a collection of their ceramic birds ‘n bugs at Hellen’s Garden Festival
Go see if you can spot them in the undergrowth but hurry hurry hurry, the exhibition closes this Sunday!
These fabulous door numbers were commissioned by Three Choirs Vineyards, for their Deluxe Vineyard View holiday accommodation.
Jon and Sarah combined their creative talents on this one – a collaboration of skill and style.
Sarah is super thrilled to be taking part in the Digital Craft Festival 26th – 28th March 2021.
The online international event aims to promote the very best contemporary makers through an exciting program of talks demos and films. Visitors will also have the opportunity to buy direct from 150 selected artists working in all kinds of materials.
This is the first time she’s taken part:
“I’ve enjoyed this event lots in the past….. it’s so lovely! A fun filled weekend of craft demonstrations, interviews and workshops on Instagram, Facebook and zoom. The Digital Craft Festival is an opportunity I would ordinarily have to pass on, what with the 3.5k class participants that pass through the doors each year at Eastnor Pottery. As the Studio is currently closed to visitors I have had more time to focus on my own work. I’m launching lots of new designs in my shop especially for the event!”
As well as selling from her online shop, Sarah will be running a ‘make along’ zoom class.
“I will show you step by step how to make your own clay bug house and you can make along with me! No previous pottery experience is required. The pottery techniques I will be sharing with you are slab building and sgraffito decoration. Once you have made your wonderful clay house, leave it to air-dry at home.”
If you’d like to take part in the class you’ll need to purchase a ticket from her website.
Did you manage to catch our LIVE STREAM pottery tutorials on our Facebook page during the February 1/2 term?
Sarah and Jon had great fun showing us how to make a coil pot monster on Monday, a pot on the potter’s wheel on Wednesday and a clay fish on Friday!
Don’t worry if you missed them, all three videos are now up there on the Eastnor Pottery Facebook page for you to enjoy and ‘make along’ forevermore!
