The Friendship Club held in St Mary’s House had a very creative afternoon. Sue Leech gave us an insight into the world of working with clay, so after a little instruction we were let off the leash to create our own artistic designs; as you can imagine these were all very interesting! Some could have been entered for the Turner Prize. Everyone really enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you Sue!
