What we do
- We run introductory pottery classes and workshops for homeless people in our studio or via organisations that provide support for homeless people
- We offer nationally recognised accreditation right at the start – this will be the first qualification that some of the participants will have achieved
- Incidentally skills in photography, filming, IT, publicity, business skills and technician work are included
-
Those who attend the introductory classes can then progress to more advanced classes at the studio where they can achieve a more advanced qualification and increase their involvement in the enterprise
-
Our participants then have the opportunity to become involved in a variety of different projects which can widen and improve their skills, so that eventually they can create products to a professional standard which can be sold
-
Experienced participants can also provide voluntary support to newcomers and help with the technical work in the studio
