Great pottery workshops both Thursday and Today Saturday

We were very busy enjoying ourselves in the warmth and out of the rain in The Coach House with a wide age range from 5 year olds to very much older Grans. In all we had about twenty people spaced evenly through the day from 11.15 to 4 in the afternoon.

I'm tempted to wait until all these pots for the railings dry out before firing the earlier pots that were done about two weeks ago. This makes sense as it will fill the kiln up so that it is run more economically.

Hoping to have some photos to put here from Matt who took some earlier on.

The adults as well as the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Because of the high interest in the Saturday workshop, we will continue them every week in the Coach House until further notice. Please don't get distracted from making lanterns for the Lantern Parade if you are at all tempted - it's a great event. I suspect the pottery may appeal to different people so we'll keep the workshops going for these.

We're also beginning to have ideas and people wanting to do stuff for Lightburn Park - so expect some to start showing up there.
