The smiling faces above set up a Pottery, and group last summer! Apart from a 6hr crash course, in everything, we hadn’t a clue, but not daunted we “kept” at it.

The main reason we set up, was to avoid the onset of depression, with close family and friends battling Cancer, so Occupational Therapy meant slinging mud around…. and it’s worked.

So, we needed a specific project. Being avid watchers of Pottery Throwdown, one bright spark (Penny) suggested we make Noah’s Ark……….oh yeah. How hard can it be to make an Ark and small animals?

We won’t go into the sordid details of, broken legs, tusks, tails, not to mention giraffe legs!

We persevered, and on May 25, we took our Ark to Sao Bras Fair at the museum. We hope to raise funds for Cancer Research, having set up a donation page.


We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays here in Agostos, Santa Barbara de Nexe.
