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.
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.

Everything about the weekend was great. Jon and Sarah are welcoming, hospitable, chilled and helpfully patient….The venue is idyllic, in a beautiful rural setting. I’d recommend their courses to anyone wanting to try throwing for the first time or wanting to develop their skills. I certainly am keen to return.

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!
