We are delighted that local artist Lucinda Lovesey, a semi-finalist from this year’s series of The Great Pottery Throw Down will be popping along for a series of Meet the Potter sessions. This will be a chance to chat with Lucinda and see some of her pieces from the series. Times are 11am to 1pm on Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th August.
We will have a display of pottery created by the children from the Afterschool Craft Club who have been exploring the folklore surrounding The Green Man.
