The clay washes out and doesn’t stain but we’ll always recommend clothes and foot-ware you’re not too precious about – there will be splats!

Absolutely! All our group sessions are designed for potter’s of all ages and abilities. That said, children under the age of 12yrs must be accompanied by an adult.
You’ll be so engrossed you won’t be able to consider anything other than the clay in your hand. For those seeking pre or post pottery refreshment, there is an open-air café in the village a 5 minute walk from the Pottery https://eastnorcastle.com/the-woodshed/

We had the most amazing time at Eastnor Pottery! Jon was very welcoming and kept afternoon light hearted! The building was beautifully quirky and we got to make our own creations, would definitely recommend!

Visited Eastnor in October for a Hen Activity. Jon & his team immediately put all of our party at ease, as we settled into a couple of hours at the potters wheel. The whole experience was such a lot of fun with Jon taking us through the process of creating at a pace that suited us all being as we were a mixture of abilities and enthusiasm. Within about 15 mins however everyone had completely embraced the wheel and the creative process. We all had a fabulous time, and can’t wait to collect our creations. Jon & the team were all really patient, great fun and really helpful right from the initial contact for booking through to our visit and collection of our pottery.

We had a fab time for a group of 5 families for a birthday party. Made our own clay “arts” and tried the wheel filled with laughter and fun. This is a great experience run by people who care. why? we had unfortunately had a car broken down and had to wait for rescue until 8pm. we were given the workshop to stay and keep warm. on top of that, around 7pm, Jon (one of the owners) knew we were still there, so he returned with some food and hot tea!!! thanks so much for your kindness and warm-hearted generosity!
