Surrey Docks Farm Pottery - part 2

My farm pottery dream is going from strength to strength!  It has become so much more than a class, it s about the people on my doorstep. What a delight for me to watch how people have bonded in the relaxed environment of the farm.  In a community where we have mostly hurried passed each other to catch transport to get to our next commitment... we are making new friendships as well as mighty fine pots : )

A cluster of dedicated Surrey Docks clay lovers : )


Why do they look so happy....?

Because they made these........

Mellisa - throwing champion!

Antonella is our very own Italian designer.
I love it when people turn up to class eager to see their fired pieces
Chung Chung's beautiful bird
Max our master model maker

Kids clay creations! How a pinch pot becomes a scary animation.

Little Noa loves pink : )


It has been so much fun, and that is down to all the fantastic people who have attended.  I am delighted that everyone is able to return in September and excited to be adding more classes for the people who we haven't been able to fit in yet.

The set up process has been organic and we are always ready to hear ideas from the public. This September we will be trying 'Slow Pottery Evening' for people who prefer to share a cheap chilled out Friday evening with a seat and music you can hear over - although it is still open to the under thirties who have seen the light early : )

Also 'Make it together', pottery class for parents and guardians who want to get stuck in along side the kids.... its not fair that they always have the fun! 

Get in touch if you'd like more details, I can't wait to see you at Farm Pottery!
