Introduction to Pottery for Two at Eastnor Pottery

For the time being, class sizes will be kept to a minimum of x4 participants per instructor. There's ample studio space, allowing participants to social distance accordingly.

On arrival you'll be offered a warm (socially distanced!) welcome from either Jon or his wife and fellow maker Sarah. Following an easy to follow, five step potter's wheel demonstration, you'll each take a turn to throw one or two pots on the wheel. Needless to say, the activity makes for a fab spectator sport so you'll have great fun watching each other wrestling the spinning mud!

Your professional potter will be with you, at a safe distance for the whole of your experience, gently guiding you through the five easy steps to success. The whole experience lasts 1.5 hrs and if you are fortunate enough to have produced two pots, you'll be asked to choose your favourite to be fired and glazed. (If you cant decide, the extra pot can be purchased at half price.)

You won't be able to take your creation away on the day, it will need to dry thoroughly before it goes in the kiln. Your pot will be fired twice, glazed and available for collection from the Pottery approx. 4-6 weeks later. P+P can be arranged at £5 per pot (UK).
