These paintings were done in out Inspiring Minds art class. Any study of nature is an opportunity for mindfulness and quiet contemplation.

We’ve moved the potter’s wheels in the studio to make it easier to teach throwing. Members who attend the Advanced Pottery classes love the feeling of achievement when they throw their first successful pot. Creating anything is a balm for your mental health

This piece was created in an Inspire session, using a technique called pyrography. The bee is the symbol of Manchester which claimed it because they are industrious grafters, individually insignificant but collectively a superorganism. Together we're stronger.
Bees are amazing.

We’ve had our sinks in the studio upgraded with a new draining board and mixer taps! Members will know that in the past, the water was either too hot or too cold, so this is real luxury!
We're also doing our bit to conserve water by washing tools in a bowl instead of under a tap

Following a flood last year, we pulled down a false ceiling to fix the damage.
Now we have a new ceiling, which has smartened up the kiln room no end! The studio had a spring clean over the break, so it is shiny and fresh for our members.

We thought that these two lovely pots deserved a post of their own. They are made with coloured clay pressed onto the outside wall of the pot.
