Top Picks
10 picks around Ashley (Newcastle-under-Lyme), from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
1We meet for worship every Sunday, at 9.30 every week except for the third Sunday of every month, when we have an evening service at 5pm. The first Sunday of every month is a service of Holy Communion (CW).
2The course begins with an introduction to Craft – Hand Made Pottery in the way of an ice breaker to get your hands dirty. Your session continues with more hands on experience using one of the most common methods of making, the Potters Wheel. The workshop will progress according to your individual development and by the end of the period you should have several pieces of hand made ware to be proud of. Additional information on techniques, decorating, finishing, firing, glazing etc will be provided if and when it is of interest or relevant to the student.
