The new Pottery Studio is run by Jean Bittkau and meets twice a week.

The studio is well-equipped and boasts its own kiln.

The young participants are producing a range of pots, plates, bowls, chiming bells and the like which were also offered for sale at the Barrydale in Bloom Festival.

Many children in the village and on the farms are victims of the Alcohol Foetal Syndrome. These children find it hard to learn and get distracted easily. Net Vir Pret tries to work in a different creative way with them so that they too can grow and develop.
