Project: Guggleton Farm Arts: Let’s go Potty
Grant: £4,500
Area of benefit: Stalbridge
Funding was awarded to purchase a new kiln to allow them to offer a full programme of ceramics lessons and workshops on an ongoing basis to beginners to advanced potters.
The kiln will also be hired out to any person with work that requires firing to support Potters in North Dorset.
The aim is to engage children at a young age with the arts and offer 1 free pottery lesson to every primary aged child of the Stalbridge Primary School catchment area.
