Creative clay at Over Day Centre

Some of our clients chose to spend this afternoon getting crafty with air drying clay with the help of volunteer, Max Warrington. As you can see from the photos, everyone had their own ideas about what they wanted to make. Some made objects, such as baskets of fruit and coiled pots, while one lady created a scene of a father and son swimming in a pond. Others went more abstract, including one gentleman's take on a Henry Moore inspired sculpture.

A huge thank you to the Art Department at Northstowe Secondary College for lending Over Day Centre the clay tools and boards needed for this afternoon's crafting.

The place is wonderful. I am sociable and like to go out. When I come to the Day Centre, I chat with people. We have the same interests. I like the musical entertainment, because I am in a choir and have always liked music. But I like everything we do with the staff. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. They always make me feel welcome. I like the garden.
