Job Summary

The programme, which takes inspiration from the processes, ethos and legacy of the Leach Pottery will engage local families, community groups and neighbours of the Leach Pottery through creative workshops both at the Leach Pottery and offsite. Methods of co-production, skill sharing, museum interpretation will be employed to create a body of work to be celebrated by participants.
