It’s taken a couple of days to post these as we went straight into running our monthly Stitchers and Skivers craft group yesterday but here are just a few of the fabulous clay sheep from Wednesday’s drop-in activity.
Wonderful potter and craftsperson, Kate Tilley, led the amazing activities on Wednesday that saw nearly 200 people come through the sessions!! She truly was a Wonder Woman that day and I don’t think she ever stopped smiling.
Thanks too to all the wonderful families who took part - we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
If you have any photos of the day, we’d love to see them in the comments below 👌
