The company produces and sells high quality stoneware goods and also offers courses of tuition in 9 week blocks and as one-off weekend workshops in ceramics. Further to this, the company offers 1-2-1 tuition, taster experiences and consultancy. Profits from these activities enable us to offer free and subsidised access to those living with poor mental health and those engaging with 3rd sector support agencies. Between September 2023 and August 2024 we have: 1. Made a point of trading with other social enterprises where possible Continued to trade with local businesses and suppliers wherever possible 2. Provided free/subsidised access to11 local people who have been experiencing poor mental health 3. Engaged in workshops with a group of 7 women being supported by Bethany Trust 4. Engaged in workshop activities with Dundee University at discounted rate 5. Provided affordable access to what can be an extremely expensive activity to the community at large
The Company’s stakeholders are the local community in and around Edinburgh, for whom we have provided free pottery workshops whenever possible. We gathered anonymised feedback from those attending the workshops and this has confirmed the mental health benefits felt by participants. Based on the feedback, we will continue with our offer of free and subsidised access to the Pottery when it is practicable to do so and look to extend our offer when circumstances allow. The Pottery will be relocating over the summer of 2025, which will force a suspension of normal activities for a period of 10 – 12 weeks.
