"Wednesday Art Group"

(Wednesday, 9th July 2025)

​

Creative Connections: Clay, Companionship, and a Dash of Hedgehog Charm:

​

At the Disability Resource Centre in Paisley, we’ve come to recognize the days of the week by the creative rhythms of our community. And there’s no mistaking a Wednesday—it’s when the art group is in full swing, hands deep in clay and imaginations even deeper.

​

Lately, they’ve been crafting clay hedgehogs, and the results are nothing short of fantastic.​​​​​​​

A leisurely walk round the market provides many opportunities to taste produce and discuss the characteristics and uniqueness of each offering.
