15 Days In Clay Success

On 13 March the Mayor of Poole, Cllr Mrs Judy Butt welcomed talented artists from the ’15 Days in Clay’ project to join her in her Parlour to celebrate their superb pieces of work.

As well as showing the work displayed in the Mayoral display cabinet, 10 artists had brought a portfolio of their work for the Mayor and Cllr Mary Hillman to view.

The ‘15 Days in Clay’ ceramic art project, gives groups of adults with learning difficulties in Poole the opportunity to work with local ceramic artist Janna Edwards.
 
The project aims to inspire and nurture the creative development of individuals in a professional ceramic environment. It was started in November 2003 with support from a grant from ‘Awards For All'. Since its launch, the project has flourished with 21 people attending three classes a week at Holton Lee , Poole.

The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Mrs Judy Butt, said: “The group have already exhibited their work across the South of England and I was delighted to be able to accommodate their amazing selection of art in my Mayoral  display cabinet and have the artists talk me through their work. I shall be buying a piece for my Parlour, but the hardest job is choosing from such an amazing range of work!”

Janna Edwards said: “Through taking part in this unique project the attendees have found their practical knowledge of ceramics and creative skills have grown from strength to strength, many are now on their way becoming artists in their own rights.”
