Eastnor Pottery at Bilston Arts Gallery making clay sea creatures

A couple of well crafted and quite frankly, ferocious looking clay crabs made by these young artists.

messy clay play fun on the potter's wheel for babies at Just So Festival 2016One of the highlights of our working calender is the amazing Just So Family Arts Festival held at Rhode Hall in Cheshire.

For the past six years we have coated some of the teeniest festival goers in thick slip and soft clay  – some as young as 5 months taking a turn on the potter’s wheel.

Artrix Arts Centre hosted an Eastnor Pottery workshop for children to produce terracotta film star sculpturesJust one of many clay sculptures made by young visitors to Artrix Arts Centre in Bromsgrove when Jon the Potter dropped by for a day of pottery fun. The children’s pottery workshop event was part of the Theatre’s Festival of Family Fun 2016 inspired by the movies.

We attempted to photograph everybody’s clay creation before ethey took them home to paint. The results of which can be viewed on our Facebook page.
