The President of the company lives in the USA. When he was due
to visit the marketing division based in Derby, the team wanted
to offer an evenings entertainment, a little different from
the traditional meal partaken in previous years.
The Flying Potter was contacted and an evening of pot throwing
arranged.
The workshop took place after work at the companys new
offices in Derby. Jon turned up in good time with four electric
potters wheels, a generous floor covering and all the
tools and materials needed to run the session.
Pizza & drinks were sent out for and the 10 participants
sat back and enjoyed an entertaining demonstration. The freshly
thrown demo quickly became an owl pot with all present
contributing to the design by modelling features and feathers.
The rest of the evening was spent taking turns, in groups
of four, making pots on the wheel.
At the end of the evening the clay was packed away and the
office left as clean as it was found. Jon took the creative
master-pieces (including the owl) back to his studio in Herefordshire.
The works were then fired, glazed and collected three weeks
later. |
