Pottery workshop moves to larger Knaresborough premises
A popular pottery workshop in Knaresborough is moving to a larger studio in what is fast becoming the town's thriving art hub.
Northernline Arts is relocating from its current home on platform 2 at Knaresborough railway station to new premises on Kirkgate.
Run by former pottery teacher Maria Dawbarn, Northernline Arts is a workshop space that gives people the opportunity to take part in a diverse range of creative clay and potters wheel sessions.
Since opening its doors almost exactly three years ago, the business has grown steadily, attracting increasing numbers of people either trying pottery as a one-off experience, or taking it up as a regular hobby.
Owner Maria set up the workshop after first training in ceramic at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at Dundee University and then spending 23 years teaching at Henshaw Arts and Crafts Centre before moving into a management role.
She said:
Maria hopes the new studio, which is due to open on Tuesday, April 2, will become an exciting art hub for Knaresborough.
As well as giving her and other potters a chance to display and sell their work, she also plans to expand the range of classes available and hold demonstrations of other crafts.
