We’ve been thinking about our unique selling points (USP’s) and why beginners and intermediate makers choose to learn potter’s wheel skills at Eastnor Pottery. This is our second post dedicated to our USP’s and focuses on our experience as artists and communicators.
Renowned artists
We’ve been making pottery for over 30 years, ever since we met doing a degree in ceramics at Bath Spa University in the early 90’s. That’s a whopping combined experience of 60 years as professional makers! During this time, we have designed, made and exhibited our unique brands of ceramic art in hundreds of prestigious galleries and exhibitions all over the world.
We’ve worked with everyone
And as for our teaching credentials – we have shared our passion of all things clay with others for as long as we’ve been making pots. We have worked with participants all ages and abilities, all over the country – Early Years to Art School Graduates, we’ve taught them all. Book a potter’s wheel course or class at Eastnor Pottery and you’ll be instructed by the best – we really are the real deal!
Learning though laughter
Through skilful facilitation and a love of clay and people in equal measure, we aim to enhance the lives of those we have the privilege to work with.
In our opinion, people learn best when they feel safe, relaxed and are having fun. As soon as they cross the threshold, we aim to put people at ease by using gentle humour and warm hospitality. Visit Eastnor Pottery at the weekend and more often than not, you’ll hear peels of laughter emanating from the doors and windows – sometimes the potter’s wheel sessions feel more like a party than a pottery class!
We have so much fun leading our classes and courses and genuinely enjoy meeting people, finding out about their lives and sharing our experiences with them – it really doesn’t feel like work at all.
Above all we want participants to enjoy themselves and have fun. We aim to provide a totally memorable experience filled with happy moments. The opportunity to get creative with clay is a valuable one and if we can make a positive contribution to a person’s well being or effect a positive change in the wider community – we consider it job well done.
