SATURDAY UPDATE
Good morning all,
I hope that your weekend is off to a good start. Firstly, some sad news, Melissa left Dragon Hall yesterday. She asked me to pass on this message; “The time has come for me to say goodbye and so I would like to warmly thank all the members, staff, teachers and volunteers for helping me to feel welcome at Dragon Hall Trust during the last three months. And I hope I can remain a part of the Dragon Hall family.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

Where does clay come from? In this workshop offered FREE by TWO TEMPLE PLACE, you will learn about how clay gets from pond to pot.

Participants will have the opportunity to create their own ‘pinch pot’ from clay during the workshop.

Please email me to reserve a space.
