<p>This five week course, run by Fiona, will run on Thursday mornings from 10.30 til 1 from 4th of March (original date from 14th jan). Suitable for complete beginners, and those with some prior experience who would like to refresh and develop their skills further.&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the course we will cover different approaches to working creatively with clay. This will include handbuilding, wheel throwing and using press moulds. You will be able to experiment with surface decoration; painting with coloured slips, creating patterns and textures, and glazing. If you've been on a course before you might like to plan some pieces, or perhaps scale up.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Limited class sizes (four places), so lots of hands on support and enough space for everyone. You will be given one to one input while on the wheel.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&pound;185 per person, inclusive of booking fee, use of tools, materials, preparation, and firings.&nbsp;This is a slight increase from last year due to restrictions on numbers and increased overheads.</p>

MINDFULNESS WITH CLAY WORKSHOP

Bramley

<p>Join Artist, Yoga and Nia Teacher Ruth Wheeler and other inspiring Women outdoors for a series of Summer Wellness Workshops and talks.</p>
<p>Sitting and walking outside we will be inspired by the nature that surrounds us, the trees, woodland and lake views give us the perfect opportunity to feel connected to nature and do a spot of forest bathing to foster our creative souls.</p>
<p>The first of our series will be themed around the Earth Goddess and Ruth will lead this session through a beautiful mindful walk and Yoga-nia Practice connecting you with your inner goddess. Gather around the fire pit with clay from the earth and we will create a goddess that speaks to us through our experience. We will each create her own natural perfume from the "gifts of the earth" with pure and potent essential oils that can be used on your skin or as a natural diffuser. You will then be guided through a visualisation lying on the forest or lakeside floor.</p>
<p>Each session will follow a similar pattern and will incorporate a mindful walk around the estate, we will dance, practise Yoga or have a creative session with intention followed by a gathering around the fire circle with a cuppa. Ruth or a guest female speaker/artist will share something special and we will finish with a guided meditation or mindfulness session.</p>
<p>For the full experience combine both workshops, alternatively, you can select just one if preferred.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Cost</strong><br />&pound;45 per person</p>
<p><strong>What's included</strong><br />All materials including firing&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tea, Coffee and cold drinks<br /><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br /><strong>What shall I bring with me?</strong><br />Please bring your own flask, cup and/or water bottle</p>

Using pre-recorded training, interactive on-line content (through Padlet), self-directed learning and live events, this substantial and comprehensive blended training course keeps delegates interested, engaged and learning new ways to bring excellence to their 24-hour postural care provision and focuses on the often neglected lying position and how unsupported lying drives changes to a person's body shape which impacts sitting, standing and functional movement. 
You will have access to the online learning from 4th November 2024 and be provided with all the information you will need to complete the course. At 1pm (GMT) on 4th November you will then join the trainers for an introductory event via Zoom to provide an outline of the training and to answer any questions you may have. Over the next few weeks you can access the pre-recorded training videos and interactive online content to enable you to complete the workbook. On 16th December there will be a series of live discussion events for the specific ages the course covers to assess your learning (you must attend at least one of these events - please see below for further information). 
Why? 
People with complex needs, deserve a thorough, co-ordinated 24-hour postural care service. We only get one body and yet people with complex disabilities don't always get the 'annual service' afforded the equipment they use.
Posture Positive report (2020) found training is a key aspect to developing resilient and robust 24-hour postural care for people with complex needs. Every person with complex needs or limited movement requires a comprehensive 24-hour postural care service delivered in a personalised way. 
Who? 
The course is suitable for specialist physiotherapists, specialist occupational therapists and other highly trained healthcare professionals working in health, SEN and social care. 
The course breaks down the life span of a person as follows:
0-3 years
Children and young people in education
Adults
Older people an palliative care
Each delegate selects the aspects of the course relevant to their particular area of practice whilst having access to all the course resources.
What? 
On completion of the course, it is hoped delegates will be equipped with the knowledge needed to deliver an outstanding, person-centred, 24-hour postural care service.
