Cockington Ceramic Festival

As part of the Ceramics Festival happening at Cockington 10, 11 May , I was fortunate to be able to run a workshop with several pupils at Torre Primary School , we made memory bowls , with imprints of the things the children had found on the beach in Torbay. 
These will be on display at Cockington during and after the Festival.

Ceramic Eggs at Yarner Wood

We had a good morning despite the showers making eggs in the Woodland Centre 

Hope says the best bit was "putting in the effort and concentration," which made her egg lovely and smooth like a real egg!

Watch this space for further dates for workshops in the Holidays 

Pole from Tanglewood

We got our first pole from Tanglewood to try out , this one is Ash , it looks pretty good to me , great to have flags and poles together - now all we need  is a man with a ladder again!
