GRANGEWOOD POTTERY
On-site Pottery demonstration and "hands-on" tuition.
Overview
To demonstrate the production of decorative practical ceramic ware at "Craft"
or similar events and provide "hands-on" experience on the potter's
wheel for young and old alike. I have provided this facility at similar
events on behalf of "Friends of Court Hey Park" and also on behalf
of Knowsley Borough Council Leisure Services Dept, providing all of the
raw materials, equipment and other relevant "pottery" tools.
This experience has proven to be extremely popular with all age groups.
