In
addition to making and exhibiting my work over the last twenty
years, I have also organised many pottery workshops for children,
adults and people with special-needs. I have experience of
working with people who have motor neurone disease, cerebral
palsy and stroke sufferers.
Recent
clay projects include working with 150 children at Freshford
Primary School in Bath during the summer term 2006, to create
a series of seven ceramic Totem Poles, which are now permanently
installed in the school grounds.
Another
recent project at Urchfont Primary School near Devizes in
Wiltshire resulted in a large internal wall-mounted mural
made up of a hundred clay heads, which were modelled by the
children.
I
am involved in running clay clubs at various schools in my
local area. If you would like to discuss a potential project
or after school clay club, please contact
Gary for further details
