'Mine is not the well to be filled,but the fire to be kindled' Plato
At The Potter's Yard our track record since 1997, as a provider of children's and adult workshops is unrivalled-we offer children the freedom of an authentic experience in a working studio with the guidance of a professional potter and artist.
Now we want to extent this philosophy of offering our skill to include the skills of visiting artists. As a community, we seem to be turning again to the local, and to putting an emphasis on personal creativity. The crafts are an ideal and fun place to start this process.
The satisfaction of making a pot, a batik picture or a felt monster is enormous, skill can only be gained by practice, but we must start somewhere. The Potter's Yard Craft Workshops offer you and your children that opportunity.
A full list of our Craft Workshops for 2011 will be posted on this web site in early January .
