Visitors to the farm can 'Paint-a-pot' in The Pottery Studio

- which is run by a charity.

The Pottery Studio at Farmer Parrs is run by Autism Initiatives (registered charity no. 702632)

Autism Initiatives approached Farmer Parrs with the view of setting up a workshop, where adults with autism could develop their social and work skills in a friendly environment.

The dedicated team who work the Pottery Studio provide a realistic work environment where they manufacture, produce and sell pottery on site.

The work shop is one of the first in the country to be set up and has been a phenomenal success in the development of the students.

Students travel up to 30 miles to attend work on a daily basis.

The FRIENDSHIP APPEAL has been launched to raise £250,000 to extend the facilities to offer an opportunity for more people to attend and use this tremendous facility.

Children visiting the farm or attending a birthday party have the opportunity to paint pottery in the studio, often assisted by the students.

Groups and parties may book visits.
