We believe in community, creativity and the benefits of making with clay. Clay Works Studios Dumfries is a Ceramic/Pottery workshop which provides a friendly, informal and supportive environment where everyone is welcome to come and get hands on with Clay, learn new Ceramic techniques and/or develop existing skills. portrait.jpg LAUREN TAYLOR Lauren graduated from Glasgow School of Art with BA (hons) Ceramics in 2000.

Instagram. @clayworksstudiodumfries JENNY FINCH Born in 1962 in Essex, always knowing I wanted to lead an artistic life. I followed my wonderful art foundation course at Colchester with a degree in ceramics at Birmingham Poly. I founded Dalton Pottery in 1989 with my late husband Geoff and we enjoyed over 25 happy years working together and raising two brilliant sons. They say that the only thing you can be sure of in life, is that it will keep changing. Some of those changes are very hard, and I have found the one thing that always gets me through those challenges is my creativity and the creative community. Chris and Lauren have built such a wonderful resource at Clayworks and I am proud to be part of the team. One of the most rewarding things about spending a lifetime understanding the medium of clay, is passing on those skills to those who are just discovering how meditative and rewarding it is to work with. Whether painting, potting, sculpting, writing, or teaching I hope to never stop pushing the boundaries and challenging myself to be the best I can. 120777122_2839475512940495_7861241450601659473_n.jpg CHRIS TAYLOR After graduating from the University of the West of England in 1999 Chris became an apprentice at Dartington Pottery, Totnes.

Our Global Organisation The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is a leading global organisation, which provides health, safety and environmental qualifications. Our internationally recognised qualifications help to raise the competence of safety and environmental professionals as well as individuals at all levels in the workplace. NEBOSH qualifications are highly respected by governments, employers and our learners. Since our inception in 1979 almost 550,000 people from around the world have gained a NEBOSH qualification. Tens of thousands join their number every year, studying with our network of 600 Learning Partners offering exams in over 130 countries. Our vision and mission Our Vision - We enable and inspire the world of work and wider environment to be a safer and healthier place. Our Mission - We provide world-class and accessible, health, safety, environment, risk and wellbeing qualifications and services. Our charitable impacts As an internationally recognised charity NEBOSH plays an important role in the health, safety and environmental professional community. Through NEBOSH qualifications, learners and their employers can improve the lives of people around the world by keeping their colleagues and their communities safe from work-related accidents and ill-health. How many people are we reaching with our messaging? Through our network of learners, employers, Learning Partners, governments and other stakeholders, NEBOSH has a vast international community with which to engage. We have a wide range of channels that can help us to raise the profile of the profession, share best practice and educational content. Who are we reaching around the world? There is a NEBOSH qualification for anyone, at any stage of their career, in any role and in any industry or country around the world. The transition to digital and remote assessments – coupled with the move by many Learning Partners to offer virtual delivery options – has made NEBOSH qualifications even more accessible. How do we provide training and support that is relevant throughout a career? Many learners choose NEBOSH as their preferred HSE qualification(s) and route through continued professional development; they improve their skills, contribute to employer requirements and, in some locations, promote social mobility. We provide qualifications at all levels and offer both general and specialist products. How do our qualifications and services improve health and safety at work? Improving people’s knowledge and skills in workplace health, safety, environment, risk and wellbeing can, in turn, lead to fewer accidents and cases of work-related ill health, an improved environment and greater levels of wellbeing. We collaborate with organisations such as HSE, INSHPO, BCSP, RoSPA, IIRSM and government bodies to raise the profile and recognition of the profession, raise standards and share best practice to further educational opportunities. How do people value our qualifications/services? Time and again our case studies show the impact that our qualifications have on the individuals who achieve them – many health and safety careers have been built on NEBOSH success. Becoming a health and safety professional is a vocation and each and every learner helps to make a difference in their workplace and community. Our qualifications meet specific quality criteria and, where appropriate, are part of a national framework of vocational qualifications.
