turning point mug with turning point staff doing pottery team building in leominsterLast week we took our mobile pottery studio, The Flying Potter,  to Leominster. We were hired by Turning Point Herefordshire to share the immeasurable benefits of working with clay with their staff as part of their annual team day celebrations.

We worked with x40 participants, each person hand modelling a clay tile based upon their individual roles with-in the organisation. Once all the tiles have been fired, glazed and mounted on boards, the work will be installed at Turning Point’s offices in Hereford – forming a gigantic oak tree panel and a permanent reminder of the power of collaboration!

“just wanted to say a big thank you for last week. The team loved the pottery and everyone seemed to get stuck in, which was great. Really looking forward to seeing the final piece.” Turning-Point UK
If you would like the Flying Potter to visit you, anywhere in the UK…or if you and your team fancy an away day in rural Herefordshire, please take a look at our Away Day and Team Building pages.
