CLAY DAY

Well the weather could have been better for our 2010 Clay Day event, now in it's fourth year, but it didn't stop Anna and her dad from having a go.

Anna and her dad - the one smiling - a team effort to make the pot!Painted Plate spacerThe finished pot.

Despite the cold, wet and at times hail...... 22 pots were thrown and 19 cats and dogs made of all shapes and sizes.

We raised £100 for this years charity 'Smile Train'.

Many thanks to all those who supported the event.

 

This year the money we raisde goes to 'Smile Train', an organisation that pays for children in under-developed countries to have minor surgery to correct birth defects such as cleft lips. It costs £150 for one such operation so that is our target for this year. Of course it would be great if we could fund Two...!

Check out the Smile Train web site www.smiletrain.org.uk for more information and stories, pictures and videos of the work they do.

Have a look at the clay day gallery for some of our previous years 'happy potters.'

Please note that it is not possible to book in for his event - 'first come, first served' applies. Last year we were very busy so come early to ensure you get your chance to have a go. Again, we will be open from 10.30 until around 4 and will have a short break around 1pm for lunch.

Please bear in mind that pottery made on the day has to be left to dry and be fired.  This could take 2-3 weeks.  If you are unable to call back to collect then items can be posted on to you for a small charge.
