Overview
Making a pot on the potter’s wheel is one of those ‘I’ve always wanted to do’ activities. This fun session offers the opportunity to do just that! Perfect for individuals, couples and small groups wanting to get creative with clay.
There are no mistakes in pottery – just happy accidents and learning experiences. The positive, inclusive nature of the instruction means everybody can join in the fun and achieve amazing results.
City breaks, rural retreats and weekends away are becoming increasingly popular with couples and individuals wanting to get away. If you ever have the good fortune to find yourself in the beautiful county of Herefordshire, make sure you don’t leave before making a pot on the wheel at Eastnor Pottery.
POTTERY is the traditional 9th wedding anniversary gift. Why not take it one step further and make each other a clay pot on the potter’s wheel to mark the occasion
What's Included
- Clay and hand tools
- Please bring an apron and a hand/tea towel for drying hands at the wheel

What To Expect
Potter's wheel experience
Please allow 1.5hrs for your visit.
On arrival you'll be offered a warm welcome from either Jon or his wife and fellow maker Sarah.
Following an easy to follow, step by step demonstration, you will share a wheel between two, having two goes each. You’ll then be offered one of three choices:
1) The ‘green’ option. We’ll recycle your attempts so your clay can be enjoyed again and again by our lovely customers.
2) Select your favourite pot to take away, air-dry and paint at home.
3) For an additional £20 per pot we’ll fire and glaze your creation. If you go for option 3, your masterpiece will need to dry thoroughly before it goes in the kiln. It will be fired twice. This whole process takes about a month, after which we’ll contact you to let you know it’s ready for collection from the Pottery. P+P can be arranged at £5 per item.
