Arrive at Cotshill Farm near Gloucester, and meet your host. Come outside to the stables and meet some of the 11 horses and ponies that we have on site. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and perhaps spot a few birds on our pond or feeding on Walmore Common which surrounds the farm ( a biological SSI). Then take a scenic trip through the Severn valley over the railway crossing and into the quiet Gloucester lanes. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife busy about their work unintimidated by the natural sound of the horses hooves and the silence of our carriages. There are plenty of photo opportunities as we pass through the landscape and the chance to get up close and personal with our our gentle horses and ponies. Experience the gentle nature of our horses and the joy of slower paced travel. Upon your return enjoy a delicious cream tea with homemade jam, a generous dollop of clotted cream all on fresh homemade scones!

Potter's wheel experience For the time being, we're keeping class sizes to a minimum of x4 participants per instructor. We're blessed with ample studio space and will social distance participants 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 x2 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 1/2 price) You wont 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)
