Pottery Sessions
Over the last few weeks a number of the
trainees have started taking part in pottery
sessions on Thursday’s and Friday’s with
Richard, a professional potter who has been
teaching the trainees basic pottery skills and
supporting them to produce a number of items,
including mugs, Christmas decorations and
other pieces which we hope we will be able to
sell at future events on the farm. Many of the
trainees have been keen to take part in the
sessions and get
involved with making
the items and
learning new skills.

making Christmas decorations with clay

Tidying up the Garden
Work is continuing around the site on
making the area more presentable
and generally tidier. As part of this it
has been decided that the potting
shed in the garden will be taken down
due to it becoming untidy. Some of
the trainees have recently begun, with
staff support, to pull down sections of
the shed and tidy the area around it.
The removal of the shed will also
make space for the small tractor to
access the garden area.

Bryn and Barry work on disassembling
the shed

On Friday the 12th of December we will
be taking part in Save the Children’s
Christmas Jumper Day, and inviting staff
and trainees to wear their Christmas
jumpers and donate £2, or whatever they
can give, to the charity Save the Children.
