Arts and Crafts Experience Days: If you�??ve ever thought about taking up pottery, this beginners
lesson for two in Herefordshire will provide the perfect
introduction. Discover a therapeutic new hobby, as you learn to
throw a bowl or vase on the potter�??s wheel!
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in traditional
crafts, and thanks to shows like The Great British Pottery
Throwdown, the art of ceramics is no exception. On arrival at
the pottery studio, nestled amidst the Malvern Hills in the grounds
of Eastnor Castle, you�??ll be greeted by your instructor and offered
a hot drink. Once everyone arrives, you�??ll be given an apron before
gathering around the potter�??s wheel for a professional
demonstration. Next, each participant will take it in turns to
throw a lump of clay into a bowl or vase. Groups are kept small to
ensure everyone receives plenty of one-to-one instruction as you
complete the five steps to making a pot. After throwing, you�??ll
move over to the painting table, where you can choose from a
variety of coloured under-glazes. When the session concludes, your
creation will need to time to dry before it�??s fired and glazed.
It�??ll then be ready to be collected or posted within a month!
The introduction to pottery for two in Herefordshire would make
a thoughtful experience gift for creative couples. Treat your other
half or best mate to an Experience Days voucher, today!
