Project Description

Pottery courtyard for the community of Caldicot

My proposal was stage 1 of a 4-stage plan to convert the car park behind Caldicot’s unbounded Highstreet, into intimate makers spaces.

Stage 1 was to create the first courtyard which was contained by a pottery studio, pottery workshop, gallery, and Cafe. This courtyard would act as an intimate space where people could meet the artists making the pottery, with the café helping to draw people in. These interactions would encourage customers to either purchase artwork from the gallery or try a pottery course in the workshop space. This activity will lead to Caldicot developing a stronger community through a creative outlook.
