cyan clayworks

Cyan Clayworks is a working ceramics studio and social enterprise, where we make tableware (Chris) and sculptural handbuilt vessels (Fiona). Both of us have been working in ceramics since the mid 1990s, making work for exhibition, teaching, working in community settings, and undertaking commissions. At the studio we offer regular courses for adults, bespoke workshops, and individual tuition. We have also worked with professional artists, designers and students. Other services include a membership for keen amateurs who want to access the studio to make work untutored. All services must be booked in advance. Visitors are welcome (but strictly by appointment only); get in touch to arrange a visit.

victoria hall community trust

The foundation stone for Victoria Hall, Higher Bebington, was laid down in 1897, on land donated by Miss Catherine King for the benefit of the residents of Higher Bebington. Miss King, in the deed of conveyance, requested that the building be designated as the village hall. Building began in the year of Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee and, as the Village Road upper elevation frieze reveals, it became Victoria Hall not The Village Hall. The original hall is constructed, as its base reveals, of Storeton stone, a local sandstone quarried only a few hundred yards away at one of the Storeton quarries. The sandstone is of a pale creamy colour. The upper elevations are white rendered with intricately painted floral friezes to the top storey. The base and upper elevations are separated by red brick banding, under a series of red clay tile roofs.

mindful photo lab

At the Mindful Photo Lab we use photography to improve well-being in a playful way. We create bespoke workshops to bring people together.Mindful Photo Lab was created by French-Ethiopian photographer Pierre Bureau to offer you the opportunity to celebrate your creativity and improve your wellness. Before falling in love with photography, Pierre worked in an ancient manor in Cornwall as a hotel manager. During the winter he would travel to India, learning meditation, drinking chai in clay pots, and listening to Bollywood classics. During one of his trips, he suffered from severe mental health problems. A a consequence, he bought a camera to entice himself out of his room where he felt trapped. Taking photographs became a way to escape from his condition and has lead him on a path of mindfulness, allowing him to reconnect with reality and stay in the present moment.

wilma

The spirit and ethos of WIILMA is influenced and embodied by the inspirational African-American athlete Wilma Rudolph (23/6/1940-12/11/1994). In 1960, Wilma overcame childhood illnesses and physical disability to become the fastest runner in the world. The first woman to win three Olympic Gold medals in a single Olympiad. She is regarded as a civil rights and women's rights pioneer causing gender barriers to be broken down at previously all-male track and field events and is on par with Cassius Clay and later Muhammad Ali, who both became global stars with the televising of the Olympic Games. She went on to become an educator and coach before dying suddenly of cancer in 1994. We believe the determination and spirit of Wilma Rudolph is one to be celebrated and her legacy is something our creative movement is proud to be inspired by.

nina newman ceramics

My name is Nina Elliot-Newman. I am a Brighton based mum and studio ceramicist. I have always had a love of art and nature ever since I was very small. In my twenties I studied Graphics and Illustration at the University of Brighton. In more recent years I have had my photography published by the National Trust and have lectured at the University of the Arts and University of Brighton. I create beautiful handmade, slab-built ceramic pieces inspired by the colours and shapes found in nature. I also deliver workshops for children and adults, inspiring others to grow a love of art and clay. I strongly believe in the power of art and nature for wellbeing and am passionate about passing on my love of both.
