Flying Potter
Mobile Pottery Studio
Unable to visit our idyllic Herefordshire studio? No problem, the Flying Potter can come to you! All the Eastnor Pottery fun, creativity and passion delivered to a venue of your choice. A fantastic addition to any festival, celebration or outreach event.
Education & Community
Through skilful facilitation and a love of clay and people in equal measure, we travel all over the West Midlands and beyond exploring and developing creativity in others. We regularly work in early year’s settings, schools, libraries, art galleries and museums, encouraging people to play and express themselves in clay.
Festivals & Events
We have worked with so many organisations and partners providing innovative, accessible pottery sessions for all ages and abilities. Large numbers of participants (as many as 1000 a day!) and collaborative sculpture a speciality.

A brilliant day that I would recommend to anyone – on your own or as a group…With my own wheel / space to work throughout the day, fantastic demonstrations and guidance as we progressed, and as much clay as I wanted to practice with (I had a LOT of ‘learning pots’), I was able to work at my own pace….Worth every penny and I am now positively potty about playing with clay.

This was such a fun couple of hours, Sarah and Jon are so welcoming and Sarah’s mentoring skills were given with patience and explanation. A really enjoyable time.
Highly recommended even if you believe you aren’t creative as my partner does.
He made a great pot and enjoyed our time. Thank you Sarah & JonErica

What a lovely weekend! I braved a solo trip for this course and felt welcome and part of the group from the outset. I’m looking forward to receiving my three finished pieces once they have been fired. All being well I have two useable mugs and a bowl to show for my weekend. For the weekend course each potter has their own wheel, a very generous amount of clay to work with (you’re not going to run out) and the perfect combination of instruction, demonstration, support and freedom to find what works for you. Up to the point of adding colour the clay is completely recyclable so you can afford to experiment and make mistakes. It’s great to see that resources aren’t being wasted.
Whilst I am generally quite crafty, I am not necessarily artistic and I’m definitely very heavy handed. Pottery did not come naturally to me and I definitely felt that I was significantly behind my fellow potters. Jon & Sarah and all of the other potters were supportive and encouraging. At the end of the weekend I lined up my finished pieces to take a photo before heading off, without everyone else’s work to compare against I suddenly had a real sense of achievement.
Definitely go on this course. Go with the intention of experiencing something new in a really friendly and supportive environment. If you can, don’t compare your work to everyone else’s. Perhaps you’ll be amazing at it, perhaps you’ll be terrible but have a good chuckle at your mistakes, you’ll probably reach a new found respect for the Pottery Showdown contestants either way!Ali M
