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.

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.

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

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.
