pots thrown on weekend pottery course

Did you get an Eastnor Pottery Experience Gift Voucher for Christmas?

, , , , ,

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

We sold soooo many potter’s wheel experience gift vouchers in the lead up to Christmas, Santa must have had to put in for over time delivering to all the lucky recipients.

If you did receive one, we recommend you book your session in as soon as humanly possible as availability is being snapped up at a rate of knots!

Just navigate to our home page, scroll down until you get to the orange redeem a gift voucher button and then it should be straight forward from then on in. You will need your voucher code so have it ready when you log on.

We are aware there are a few of you out there who didn’t receive a pottery experience this Christmas. Boooooo! :( BUT remember one of our gift vouchers makes for a wonderful birthday present! ;)

Good luck everybody and we look forward to welcoming you to Eastnor Pottery in 2022.

Behold Ellie’s dragon tea pot

, , , ,

It’s mostly adults who enjoy our Weekend Potter’s Wheel Courses here at Eastnor Pottery but every once in a while we’ll entertain a teenager or young person. We love the dynamism and creative flair the junior potters bring to the table.

GCSE art student Ellie was no exception.

Ellie was gifted one of our weekend courses as a Christmas present last year and attended a fully booked event in the Spring 2021. On day two, you can  assemble the pots from the previous day into a single work of ceramic art. Ellie was keen to make a Dragon Tea Pot and threw all the components (spout, lid etc) on Saturday. On Sunday all the bits and pieces were leather hard and perfect for scratch and slipping together. We think she made an amazing job of her mission – Well done Ellie!
