Having spent 90 minutes fine-tuning our designs, (you can probably guess which one’s Helen’s) we were ready to start again and create even more pottery perfection. Having initially looked upon this activity with all the glee one does of a wet Bank Holiday (oh wait, it was a wet Bank Holiday) I very soon warmed to this activity as we chose our paint colours and decided on our designs. Obviously not on the same day though, as it’s likely to be a tad warm… This allows you to paint a piece of your choice, have it fired, then take it home. If you want to, you can also book up a decorating session.

This task involves taking every single piece of pottery produced in the factory and wiping its bottom free of glaze. To get around this, one of the workers acts as a ‘Footwiper’. So if you’ve ever wondered why your cup has a rough ring around the bottom, that’s why. The thing with glaze though, it makes the bottom of the bowl, plate, or whatever, stick to the shelf in the kiln. The glaze is applied in a very fetching shade of purple (or fuchsia, lavender, magenta – who knows), which apparently allows any missing bits to be spotted more easily. Having wandered around, staring over the shoulders of the employees engaged in their various tasks, we moved on to the glazing department. For just over two quid (That’s two pounds Sterling if you’re from The US of A) you can book a factory visit that demonstrates the whole process from start to finish. With that in mind, we thought we’d pay a visit to the Emma Bridgewater Pottery in Stoke on Trent. However, we also wanted to make sure there were things on that list, that you could do when the weather was somewhat inclement.
We have a nice long list of things to do within 45 minutes of The Laurels. We’ve even done it ourselves (minus the sandals) on more than one occasion. I’ve always loved holiday-makers, in the ‘hot spots’ of England, wandering around in their shorts, sandals and cagoules, bracing themselves against horizontal rain. Yep, you can always rely on it to mess up your plans on a regular basis. If there’s one thing you can rely on in the UK – it’s the weather.
