'Mine is not the well to be filled, but the fire to be kindled' Plato

At The Potter's aYard out track record since 1997, as a provider of children's and adult's workshops is unrivalled- we offer 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 skills to include the skills of visiting artists and craftsmen. 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 ones own pot or batik is enormous, skill can only be gained with practice, we must start somewhere. The Potter's Yard Craft Workshops offer you and your children that opportunity. A full list of Craft Workshops for 2011 will be posted on our web site in January.

The Batik and Print workshop with Mairead in Nov. read blog. was great fun and very well attended. The children made colourful christmas cards and batiked hanging decorations for the tree. They also had to do some sewing which was a challenge, but well worth the effort. We are eagerly awaiting Mairead's next workshop at The Potter's Yard in March, well in time for making Mother's Day gifts.
