Located within the magnificent Herefordshire Country Estate of Eastnor Castle and surrounded by the Malvern Hills, Eastnor Pottery is the ideal place to spend a creative experience.
Create a bowl or vase on the potter’s wheel under the expert guidance of an in-house potter wheel expert. Not only do you get to wrestle a lump of spinning mud but you get two goes!
On arrival you will be guaranteed a warm welcome before meeting your fellow pottery participants. Once you’ve all had the chance to get to know each other a little better, you’ll be offered an apron, you can bring your own, and settle down to watch a potter’s wheel demonstration from your designated professional potter.
You’ll each take turns to make a couple of pots on the wheel. Your expert potter is sat wheel side throughout the experience, gently talking and guiding you through the five steps to making a pot. You certainly won’t be bored waiting your turn as the activity makes for a great spectator sport. You’ll have so much fun watching each other, all the time picking up handy tips from your instructor.
Once your piece is complete you are given three options, recycle your pot, take away to paint at home or you can have it fired and glazed at an additional cost. Please note you can take along a towel and an apron, or these can be hired on the day for £5, for both items.
