Pottery Partners Intergenerational Tableware and Cookery Project

A collaborative intergenerational project between Kentish Town City Farm and the Young Camden Foundation, bringing together young people from the farm’s pottery and cooking groups at Cressfield Close Sheltered Housing.

Over a seven week period a group of children children and older people worked on designing and decorating tableware. By learning new skills together, these pottery workshops provided a calm and collaborative environment for people to get to know one another. Painting invoked memories for the participants, with many painting dinnerware for loved ones, and the joy of creating something you can use provided points for celebrating each other. After each pottery workshop, a hot meal cooked by young volunteers from the city farm was brought to the sheltered housing for everyone to enjoy a meal together.
