A city college is facing criticism over proposals to withdraw a much-loved pottery course 🏺
: “These signatories are all potters, collectors and supporters who value pottery in all its forms as a valuable therapeutic and cerebral experience. It is so important to maintain the joy of clay both from its ability to express peoples images and because of its proven therapeutic value for physical and mental health.
“The tactile qualities of clay make building with it so satisfying and to see something we have made with our own hands is wonderfully rewarding. “It provides so much more than tuition about clay. People on the course range from 25 to 90 years old. A spokesperson for Preston College said: “The College has continued to offer Pottery groups for a number of years, during which time most other similar provision elsewhere has ceased due to the relatively high cost and poor funding opportunities.
