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!
It’s HOME LEARNING week here at Eastnor Pottery!
Over the next five days we are going to sign posting you to our fabulous and FREE ‘how to make pottery’ video tutorials over on our YouTube channel.
Each day we’ll be highlighting a different video and making technique:
MONDAY 18 January – Coil pot owl.
TUESDAY 19 January – Slab built house.
WEDNESDAY 20 January – Potter’s wheel.
THURSDAY 21 January – Pinch pot monster
FRIDAY 22 January – Pottery fish.
In the absence of a kiln, you can let your creations dry and then seal them with a mixture of PVA glue and water (50/50 mix) – a couple of coats should do the job. Once the PVA has dried, you can paint your creations with acrylic paint, or whatever you can lay your hands on!
Even if you don’t have any proper clay, the projects work well with play dough to.
Happy Making! Oh and if you get chance, we’d love to see what you get up to. Just send us a photo of your finished work to any of our social media platforms and we’ll share and comment on your creativity. We’re @eastnorpottery on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Over the years we’ve produced a collection of ‘how to do’ videos.
In an attempt to help educate and ‘entertain’ the nations children, we’ve dusted off a few of the ‘better’ (?) ones to post here on our website.
So far Jon the Potter has showed you how to make a clay fish and a coil pot owl. In this, the third in the series he talks you through the process of throwing a pot on the potter’s wheel… You might need a potter’s wheel for this one! Even if you don’t, you cant beat the magic of watching a lump of clay magically transform into a pot on the potter’s wheel.
Enjoy! and if you are lucky enough to own a potter’s wheel, we’d love to see your results. Ping us a pic on Twitter, Face Book or Instagram – make sure you tag us in too! We’re @eastnorpottery on most platforms.

If you don’t have access to clay, why not try using play dough?
