YOUTH GROUPS AND SCHOOLS
Ceramic painting is a versatile activity that can be used to
enhance curriculum learning or simply provide a fun experience.
It
can be used in support of any number of projects
across a wide range of ages. For example:
- Juniors at Worksop painted their own Willow Pattern Plates
- Infants at Danewood used Clarice Cliff colours and shapes to paint mugs
- Dronfield Rainbows, Brownies and Guides painted Christmas Tree Decoratons
- Robert Sandilands Y6 pupils used the history of Eyam to inspire designs for coasters
- St Anslems Pre School painted piggy banks
Visits can be made to the studio in Eyam as part of a residential or day visit to the area.
The studio seats 24 but several sittings can be arranged.
Alternatively, if you are local we can visit you. All equipment and paints are provided, the items are taken away for glazing and delivered back a week later.
Finally if you have no idea what ceramic painting involves, how much fun it is or how suitable for a project you are considering, why not come along to the studio and find out!

THE 'OUT & ABOUT GROUP'
The Out & about group is run by Scope Rotherham Day Service in partnership with Rotherham Social Service's, who fund the group. It is for people who have an acquired disability eg stroke, M.S., brain injury to name but a few. They take four to eight people out on quality days out to places of their choice.
The group are regular visitors at the Painted Plate. Everyone always has a great time and are amazed at what they can produce.The atmosphere is great and the group find it very therapeutic, as Len says, "You forget your problems for a few hours." Before we get out of the door I hear shouts of "When can I come again?". Also once people have seen what others have made they want to have a go as well. So keep up the great work Gail and we will see you soon!!!
