A massive THANK YOU to the team at Howdens Stranraer for your generous donation of kitchen units and worktop for our canteen area. Our team have learned new skills putting them together. A huge thank you also to John Finlay for installing the worktop. Our space is much more functional now.

⚜️help needed⚜️
Students are learning to work with lots of different art media as one of their projects (along side their gardening and woodwork, of course)
We are looking for any picture frames that you no longer need so Students can frame and exhibit their work. We would be ever so grateful.
Thanks in advance Team Potters

Jim’s 1st attempt at water colour painting and he has surpassed himself, it is fantastic and the only help was the drawing of the parrot the rest was prompts. Well done Jim 👌🏻
