About this Event
As part of our series of workshops for A Peace Garden based in Bridgend Farmhouse artist Rosie Priest will lead workshops using clay
Sat 27 April 2pm - 3pm.
Please choose date at ticket option
Each person is given a small ball of clay, - the group will then have an informal
discussion about the garden, about what the garden means, and what peace
means, whilst squeezing and manipulating the clay.
Participants to make marks and patterns with colours, thinking about how they would represent their feelings about the garden simplistically.
The clay pieces would then be fired and then glazed capturing the groups expressions.
These small gestures captured in clay can then be left around the
garden - so that when people find them, they can pick them up, feel
other people's gestures, their fingers, connect and reflect on their meaning and offer a point of
connection between the makers, and the people in the garden.

A Peace Garden for South Edinburgh
Help four charities grow in community and create a shared Peace Garden in south Edinburgh.
Peace & Justice, Bridgend Farmhouse, Multi-Cultural Family Base (Safe Haven Project) and Homelink Family Support charities are partnering together to create a Peace Garden based in Bridgend Farmhouse grounds
Every day we hear stories of violence and conflict, both close to home and in other countries. The chaos of the world demands that we come together for strength.
In creating the Peace Garden, we’ll create a new story - one that offers an alternative to violence. We’ll explore and share skills in cooperation and connection. This new story - like the Peace Garden - will be created with the project participants and will be grounded in a culture of peacebuilding and resolving conflict.
Adults only please – please book so we know how many to expect on the day
