EAST Oxford residents have been going potty about pottery.
A series of Oxpots classes at the East Oxford Community Centre aim to get locals down and dirty learning about working with clay.
Pottery leader Ros Collett, right, said: “The sessions are great, clay is a much more forgiving medium than others, so people can spend time making something they like.
“We have just six people to each class, so it’s a nice group. But we’ve got a waiting list of more than 20 people who want to come along as well.
“I wish we had more space for them really, I think there is a real lack of places that do ceramics in the city.”
Enjoying herself at the class was Paddi Dimitri, left, an artist from Iffley.
She said: “I’ve been coming along to the classes for a couple of months now, I just enjoy doing it. Unfortunately there aren’t many places to do it, especially with all the cuts to classes for older people.”
