Dr Kershaws Ceramics Workshops

Day care patients from Dr Kershaw’s Hospice have gone back to school to develop their artistic talents.
Once a week they attend The Oldham Academy North to take part in a ceramics class with teacher Esther Hill.
They are learning decorative techniques such as impressing and sgraffito to create stunning vases inspired
by welsh artist Elizabeth Fritsch. The two hour classes are part of the academy’s community
art development programme. They run for six or seven weeks and are just the latest arts project with the Royton Hospice. Susan Smith (61) from Mooreside is taking part she said: “Ihave done a variety of things- collages that involve drawings and collecting photographs, computer graphics, pottery and fabric decoration. It has been absolutely facinating doing things that I have never had the chance to do before.”
