BRC- Pottery Painting

Pottery Painting

We had a wonderful time at our World Mental Health pottery‑painting session on Wednesday 13th May at the Bowersdale Centre. With support from Jan at Crafty Jan Pottery, 11 staff and service users enjoyed a calming two‑hour workshop filled with creativity, conversation, and mindful music.

Everyone designed their own pottery plaque featuring the green mental health awareness ribbon. The imagination on display was incredible — from meaningful symbols and bright colours to powerful words describing what mental health means to each person.

The feedback was beautiful:

Sharon felt proud of her plaque and couldn’t wait to show it off at home.

Michael said it was “one of the best pottery sessions he’d been to” and that he felt completely relaxed.

Suzanne loved trying something new and is excited to keep going, especially as she enjoys displaying her creations in her room.
