Educational links will extend to local schools providing visits to encourage an understanding of ceramic craft and ‘hands on’ experience.
The central area of the building will create an attractive gallery area which will provide the opportunity for potters to exhibit and sell their work.
In addition, programmes by leading local and national potters will be staged to include lectures and sales of work.
