About

Experienced hands

We have over 30 years experience of working with adults, young people and children, sharing our passion for pottery with tens of thousands. Through skillful facilitation and a lot of laughter, we aim to enhance the lives of those we have the privilege to work with.

The doorway is painted red with an over hanging wooden porch roofing. There is a notice board outside which read 'Eastnor Pottery Open'. Blue and white polka dot bunting hangs each side of the doorway

Visit Our Idyllic Studio

We established Eastnor Pottery in 1994. Originally, we needed workshop space and were offered a charming, redundant cottage on the Eastnor Castle Estate.  As our reputation and practice grew, we expanded next door, purchased more equipment and began to share our magical space with others.

Flying Potter – We can come to you

Unable to visit us on the Eastnor Castle Estate? No problem. All the benefits, materials and equipment can be transported to a venue of your choice. We travel all over the place working in schools and community settings. The Flying Potter mobile studio also delivers to libraries, museums, art galleries, conference centres and festivals.

At the end of the session your clay creations can be transported back to our studio to be fired and returned a few weeks later. The fired outcome serves as a permanent reminder of a brilliant day.

Introducing the artists

So here we are! Sarah Monk and Jon Williams founders and co directors of Eastnor Pottery. We met as young art students studying ceramics in Bath. Our eyes met over the potter’s wheel and the rest as they say….. As well as sharing our passion and enthusiasm for pottery with others we are makers in our own right, exhibiting and selling our unique designs. Check out our individual brands.

    This was such good fun! We only did a short session but I’d love to go back for more and get some more experience on the wheel. Our hosts were very welcoming and explained how to throw a pot very clearly and well. Highly recommended.
