The Middle port Pottery Talk (Princes Trust Federation)

The Prince's Regeneration Trust

Teresa's Talk

This was a very interesting talk as I haven't heard of the regeneration trust before. I like the way that they are working together to re-build parts of this pottery factory. She explained that the reason why this factory is interesting is because it has a flow to the system, from delivery to the packing stage at the end.
Teresa put up a PowerPoint which gave us an insight into what this place is about and why they are regenerating it and what effect it has on the people around that area and the visiting customers.
The most interesting part that I found was that they have over 2,000 molds in which they have stored from hundreds of years ago. As I am into sculpture and am interested in history, I liked that they have kept the original templates.

There is a visit to the factory this Wednesday which I would like to go for the history side of the tour!
